If you briefly outline the difference between popular and popular services, you should understand that iTunes is a virtual store in which users can purchase licensed audio content and download it on their gadget. But Apple Music is a streaming platform. Its services can be obtained only on the basis of a paid subscription.
This is a fundamental difference between the two applications. Apple Music users need to pay monthly subscription fees, and the first three months they can receive streaming service services for free as part of a trial.
In iTunes, you can purchase music once, occasionally or on an ongoing basis. For example, the user decided to buy an album of his favorite group and download it. He did this, recorded the content on a physical medium, and no longer accessed the application. Tracks can be listened to, downloaded and used without DRM protection on iOS devices, Mac, PC and Apple TV. That is, by keeping the music in the cloud, you still remain its owner and can manage it as you like.
When loading into the cloud, the system analyzes whether there is such a track in the iTunes. If matches are found, it is loaded with the maximum bit rate for iTunes – 256 kbps. If there are no matches, the track is saved as is.
But in the case of Apple Music, it will no longer be possible to do this. You need to use the application constantly, as well as constantly pay a subscription fee for it. But it is this method that is most acceptable to most users, since they do not want to pay for a single music, but want to have constant and unlimited access to it at any time convenient for them.
Some believe that iTunes is now the most useless program from Apple. This is just a player on a computer with a controversial interface. Today’s youth not only listen more often to music through music streaming services with iPhone, but also do many other things exclusively with its help. Some may not have a computer at all, because it is no longer necessary.
Previously, you needed a computer with a pre-installed iTunes to activate a new device. After connecting a new iPhone, the user contacted Apple servers to put the smartphone in an active state. Now this procedure has been simplified.
In Apple Music, you can often find limited access to some albums or individual tracks by subscription. In addition, they can suddenly suddenly disappear from the base. Apple’s security policy does not allow you to upload third-party files to the music library of an iOS branded application without using iTunes.
The media library of both applications is huge and approximately amounts to at least 70 million musical compositions. Therefore, in this, both services are almost equal.
