What? I still have an Ipod Nano (4th generation) which I use all the time to save battery on my phone. Does that mean I will no longer be able to put new/change music on it?

Also my Itunes just did an Update yesterday. What even for now? (not that they weren't doing them really often anyways, but ugh.)

i don't see why you shouldn't be able to still use the software.
they'll probably just stop updating it and kill the store.

I hope so. I just always worry that once they stop updating a software it starts getting problems.

I would think you would be able to use the last version of iTunes still, so just keep on with what you were doing.

kind of - iTunes is basically PC only. It is an all in one - TV, Movies, Music, and the Store. You just got used to having only music because that's only what's available in iOS now.

yeah I'm assuming they're just going to release Apple Music for PC so you can transfer from PC to your iPhone and other stuff like that. Not sure if they'll do away with having phone backups on your actual hard drive since it's been uploading to the cloud for a while now.
