I would miss a far nicer system of apps, particularly on tablets. especially games. -- nm - Don Homer Sep 11, 10:14
Mostly, I'll miss Reeder and Downcast. Those are apps that I don't see a good replacement on Android. - spamlet Sep 11, 10:13
Aren't most iTunes songs DRM-free now? -- nm - Beryllium Sep 11, 10:09 5
- They are but I use iTunes Match to have the music streamable on all the iPods, AppleTV, iPads, etc. - oblique Sep 11, 10:10 4
  - The Google Music app for iOS is terrible (and third party). If Goog made an iOS app, they'd get a ton of users. -- nm - spamlet Sep 11, 10:12 2
    - Amazon's isnt' bad (I use it on my work phone b/c I don't have it linked up to my home account) -- nm - oblique Sep 11, 10:17
    - this is true. -- nm - amanda hk Sep 11, 10:17
  - We must go DEEPER! -- nm - The Apple Hooks si Sep 11, 10:11
All my music is on iTunes and Google Music (and Spotify). It was a non-starter for me. - spamlet Sep 11, 10:09
