buy …. iTunes

You are in for a surprise, you don’t own any of that music just so you know. You “rent it from Apple”

In what way? There's no DRM. It's not tied to an apple account. Music I've downloaded from iTunes now resides on non-apple kit same as that from Bandcamp, 7digital, etc. Hell some of its even on CDs for when I still had a player in the car, now the car has a USB stick.

To be pedantic, there was DRM on music purchased on iTunes prior to 2009. Was a bit of a ballache converting that back in the day. Could've been worse though, I do like to buy most of my music physically so I didn't have to convert too much of my collection (still a ballache though cos it was still way more files than I wanted to convert).

Considering I can get the files without DRM from iTunes, I don't understand what you are talking about.

However, thank you for reminding me that I need to do so.
