iTunes adieu…

…is officially no more,  having been  killed off  when Apple debuted its new operating system.  iPhones were updated to this change months ago,  moving your purchased music library to the Apple Music app and downgrading iTunes to just the store for purchasing and downloading albums and singles.  But,  still,  the final,  crushing blow to 99-cent songs and pre-streaming days falls heavy on the nostalgic,  mixtape-loving heart.  I can not claim to be affected,  because when I drive,  that’s all I do — no radio, no phone, no nothing.   Still,  my heart goes out to those who lovingly developed a playlist for every mood and occasion.
