Please be realistic, who does that in this day and age?
I only know two sides (in the bigger scheme) people who rent it and people who pirate it.
In all kinds of tech media that exists the disc music are the ones that amazes me the most because they still have their spot in certain stores.
I buy all my mysic on iTunes, and have done so for a long time, it makes my music library more focused and I have no worry if loosing access if I can't pay rent.
You are in for a surprise, you don’t own any of that music just so you know. You “rent it from Apple”
In what way? There's no DRM. It's not tied to an apple account. Music I've downloaded from iTunes now resides on non-apple kit same as that from Bandcamp, 7digital, etc. Hell some of its even on CDs for when I still had a player in the car, now the car has a USB stick.
To be pedantic, there was DRM on music purchased on iTunes prior to 2009. Was a bit of a ballache converting that back in the day. Could've been worse though, I do like to buy most of my music physically so I didn't have to convert too much of my collection (still a ballache though cos it was still way more files than I wanted to convert).
