Apple in October 2024 overhauled its 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models, adding M4, M4 Pro, and M4 Max chips, Thunderbolt 5 ports on higher-end models, display changes, and more. That's quite a lot of updates in one go, but if you think this means a further major refresh for the MacBook Pro is now several years away, think again.

Part of my wishes to go back to the days of iTunes and buy an album, or even song, one at a time. Streaming is great, but reality is I probably could easily go back to owning physical copies of music and streaming through free platforms. But now I have the “carrot” of unlimited music for $10/month that I am too weak willed to pass up.
I still do buy my own music Never stopped
Stopping is just setting oneself up to eventually "require" subscriptions forever, just to keep listening
It's a non starter to me, as music is something of lifetime constant importance for me throughout daily life and activities.
Don't like how Apple Music messed with the music I already own. I'll keep my own purchased music and use Spotify to stream, so I don't lose my catalogue of stuff I've bought/ripped over the years, etc.

Same here. I still buy CDs from artists that I really care and others just download it. Streaming can be great to learn about new artists and music but if I really like it, I much rather buy it and forget about paying ever again.
Dont you have to sub to AM to use the offline library feature? IE I have FLAC rips of albums from obscure metal bands which are not available on iTunes or AM. I currently can listen to them on my AM music account since I uploaded them.
My library is fully local music - no sub -- not even logged into AM
