[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1947961, member: 396914"] Probably. Apple never lets us know what they plan, but they did replace iTunes with Music, so I think it inevitable that iTunes will cease to function at some point. Maybe not by deliberate design, but simply because Apple will continue to develop Music and not iTunes and sooner or later the older app won't successfully work with the Apple Servers because of the changes. Now, that said, will iTunes cease to work on your machine? Probably not, but you won't be able to buy any new tracks from Apple if/when it happens. As for the library comment, you might be surprised if you asked the librarian if they know any Mac user groups. Libraries are usually pretty up to date on things going on in the community. They may be lumbered with old tech, but they know people and are one of the places where all kinds of people visit to ask questions. [/QUOTE]
