A someone who lives outside the Apple bubble...how Apple users listen to music now? Spotify? What if you have a local library?
- unlinked_dll 7y agoI don't use my phone as a listening device at all. I'm split between Foobar 2K and Plex on other devices, Spotify at work. For the car it's basically local NPR but I don't drive much.
- snuxoll 7y agoThe Music app handles local libraries just fine.
- tus88 7y agoIs that the logical successor to itunes? If so did it really die or just morph into something else?
- dangus 7y agoiTunes did not die, no. It morphed as you described. The iTunes Store app is used to buy music on iOS. The Music app has an iTunes Store section as well. You can disable even being shown Apple Music (the subscription service) to both of those apps. You can sync locally just like your iPod, but on Catalina that functionality has been moved to Finder. But I believe you can initialize a music or photo sync in the respective apps as well. Audiobooks have moved out of iTunes (music) and into the Booms app. Not really that much has changed besides organization. And the changes have been a good idea, IMO.
