Apple's Beats Music Deal Seen as Key to Bolstering Declining iTunes Revenue Momentum

nope, you only lose the ability to play the music in a playlist. spotify will let you stream radio and artist shuffle for free.

and the same can be said for buying music. once you stop buying you can only listen to what you have. and then only if it's on your device at the time

I said for the money you have already spent, not for the money you have not had to pay. If you want to go that route, you could just use the free version to begin with and never get a subscription.

But I can still listen to the ones I've paid for without restrictions and listen to the free version.

Apple's new slogan...

if you can't beat them...buy them

Which can be a bad sign for a company's future. Both Apple and Facebook are throwing money around, hoping one of those deals will be enough to carry them across turbulent waters in the next few years. The Beats acquisition might work, but it will be a spectacular failure if it doesn't.
