"...I wonder if that product would have any appeal for the masses?"It will, just like reel-to-reel players on the other thread. You, a friend of mine, and I will buy it.
Rumors of iTunes Demise
It looks like iTunes is going away before too long. I'm sure no one cares and most tech web sites are cheering. I don't care either.
But I do see it as another step towards individuals not owning music at all.
A lot of folks don't care about that notion either.
Kind of ironic that this step comes from the very same company that in 1984 rocked the world with their '1984' commercial about breaking the strings that tie us to the Borg-like mainframe.
Now here we are a few decades later clamoring to be utterly dependent on the mainframe in the sky.
