No, Apple Isn't Going To Stop Selling Music Downloads On iTunes
Apple has no plans to stop selling music downloads from iTunes in the next few years.
"This is not true," an Apple spokesperson confirmed to BuzzFeed News, in response to a report claiming the company "is now preparing to completely terminate music download offerings on the iTunes Store" in two years -- or possibly "the next 3-4 years."
Closing the iTunes Store — Apple's primary music marketplace — would be an aggressive move under any circumstances. With music downloads still outselling Apple Music subscriptions three to one on and Drake going platinum in one week while staying exclusive to Apple, it's clear that any subscription service-only future is a ways off.
While Apple has a habit of forcing change on its users when it decides its time for the best (think losing the CD drive, or the rumored switch to wireless earbuds), this will not be the case for streaming, yet.
