IPod is the end of sleep iTunes is not too fast to the head of the

I think you have heard: Apple personally end the iPod To be precise, Apple announced the shutdown of iPod shuffle and iPod nano, while the two products from the online store in the next frame, the only remaining iPod touch is still sold. It also means that the music player that carries our good memories is going away from us.
When we remember the memory of the iPod, whether to think about another question: iPod "dead", that iTunes is not almost the "end of life"
Maybe you are still young, do not know its purpose. ITunes as a digital media player for Mac and PC, can manage and play digital music and video. ITunes was launched in January 2001, Apple advertised it as the world has never had, the most amazing music player software, CD users can be ripped into MP3 files and sorted in an easy-to-use interface The Think about it, iTunes has been in service for 17 years.
IPod as a multi-functional digital media player was born, iTunes of course became the iPod management software. That time to use the iPod to listen to songs is not just plug in the headset so simple things, users want to import songs into the iTunes library, to ensure that the file is Apple support MP3 format, in iTunes to re-edit the music title, album name, musicians Information, sync to iPod to hear your favorite songs.
ITunes has played the same role since the iPhone was released in 2007. Before using the iPhone, you have to connect to the computer's iTunes to activate the device. Until 2008 Apple launched the App Store, this situation has changed. Third-party music software began to land iOS, Apple also released its own music application in 2015 - Apple Music, together with the competitors to promote the development of online streaming music.
More importantly, from the 2011 iOS 5 start, activate the iPhone is no longer need iTunes. Do not have Mac and PC-side iTunes, iCloud can also be your iPhone and iPad backup, of course, the premise is that your 5 GB free iCloud storage space enough.
After many versions of iTunes now includes nine main features, music, movies, TV shows, podcasts, iTunes U, apps, audiobooks, ringtones, and Internet radio. But in most cases, users only use a few of them, such as managing backup, music and download applications.
It sounds slightly harsh, but it does happen. Apple's positioning for iTunes may be "content mall", but most people only use iTunes as an infrequently used "device maintenance tool." Now the function of iTunes is gradually split into other applications, listening to music, watching video, application download has a special application, it is necessary to open iTunes to use these features?
Apple Music is only a desktop exclusive application after the release of iTunes, through iTunes to buy movies and TV programs integrated in the Apple Store application may be more convenient for the video purchase function in the country we are not talking about.
On the mobile side, Apple now allows users to uninstall / hide native applications, if you do not have iTunes Store and iTunes U, you can delete them on the main screen. For Windows desktop iTunes, on Windows can be shrunk into a backup tool, MacOS may wish to iOS device backup function integrated into the system.
After years of evolution, iTunes has been carrying too many features, too bloated, the user needs only a simple interface, running smooth applications. IPod is dying, Apple is the time to act.
