My 1st World Problem

[dodger]

So I have 8 hours of music on an old iPod. Now that Apple is closing down iTunes I am not able to do anything with my music. I spent the evening trying to find a way to save it in case my iPod dies? My laptop is to old for updates from iTunes so it no longer recognizes my iPod.

So all that said - where does a person buy music to save and where does one store it? My iPhone will not recognize my music library so I cannot save it on my phone. This is a whack of music going out the window

I wasn't aware of this Is there any chance you could back up to i-Cloud??

Back up to hard drive or iCloud would be the easiest. iTunes will still exist just no support or new content is what they say

I have an old iPod that is loaded with songs that I downloaded from the internet using something called “torrents”. I can’t remember how I did it or if it even still exists. Maybe worth checking out?

You wont lose anything. Its all going to Apple Music.

Now if your computer cant be upgraded to Catalina, which is the OS for Apple Music and the demise of iTunes, you will have no access to iTunes.

It’s how Steve Jobs humps you from the grave

Burn your music to CD or an external hd to protect it, but remember its still in Apple Music. It will be there. Everything you paid for.
