, i Tunes is officially going away after close to two decades in operation. The company has moved its functionality into 3 different apps: Apple Music, Podcasts and Apple TV. The shutdown shouldn’t shock anyone. In June, Apple announced that it was shutting the app down for good.
This is what I ran into., the i Tunes name will fade away, but Apple will keep the store and its functionality in the Apple Music app. You can call it up if you want to buy new songs and albums, but if you do subscribe to Apple Music, you likely won’t have much use for a store.
What happens when you quit itunes?
When you cancel your Apple Music subscription the music you downloaded will become greyed out and will not play for 30 days. If you re-sign back up during that 30 day period they will become active again. After 30 days they will disappear . The songs that you purchased will not be greyed out and will remain and can be played.
Will I Lose my iTunes library if I delete Apple Music?
You will lose non of your paid i. Tunes music as you can re-download them off of i, and tunes. You will lose non of your CD music as long as you don’t delete them off of every device. “Your local i. Tunes library will stay the way it is—with or without an active Apple Music subscription.”.
Is Apple shutting down iTunes bad for You?

Now all of that is changing. At WWDC 2019, Apple announced that it will soon shut down i. Tunes on Mac with its Fall 2019 update, replacing it instead with separate new Apple Music, Apple TV, and Apple Podcasts apps that will allow the company to better focus on each type of media.
