What's old about 'flat'? Was Apple's Aqua design language flat? I don't think so.
With the number of iOS and OS X devices active in the world. I'd be surprised if they didn't.

There was a Mexican in this thread
It doesn't work quite like you think it does. If I am understanding you correctly, then you are asking whether or not Apple Music allows for unlimited downloads of Apple's catalogue to keep indefinitely for $9.99/month.
While you are allowed to download songs for offline use, you will lose access to those songs once you stop your subscription. Also, the downloaded songs will most likely be DRM protected so that you cannot save them in multiple locations.
Think of it as renting the Apple Music catalogue for $9.99/month.
I always wait 24 hours after release before installing. I know it's nice to have new features the second they are available, but it's saved me from iOS issues in the past, as I depend on my phone for family/work/safety etc...
24 hours is enough time to see a billion posts on sites like MacRumors if there are any major issues. Plus Apple servers are A LOT faster after the first rush of downloads.

I realize you're just addressing someone's question but in regards to the iTunes post I'm not sure that's something to proud to promote as that's stealing.
I'm not sure you know what flat design is. There are tons of bevels and ridges there.
System 7.
Don't see that anybody answered you so here you go. No Apple Music is not an option for you I think because you don't own the music you save to your device there is still a DRM on that piece of music unlike songs form the iTunes store where songs are DRM - Free. Unless you don't care about owning your music.
That's how several paid streaming services work, but the music is deleted if you stop using the service.
It's not what you think. The "downloading" is basically saving your playlists for offline use. You're not actually downloading songs to your computer. If that were the case then anyone would sign up for one month, download all the albums they can think of and cancel the service before the next billing date.
Like Spotify I'm sure Apple requires you to be connected to the internet at least once a month to be sure your Music account is still active. If not then your "downloaded songs for offline playback" will be disabled.
Implied depth created with completely flat plains is (though I hate the term) ‘flat design’. Consider the current iOS keyboard as a perfect example of this.
Agreed! In fact knowing this forum people will be throwing a hissy fit saying "Apple is late getting Beats 1 and Music launched and I've already updated my iDevice to iOS9!!" Followed by angry faces.
. LOL. This is just to add drama to a non-drama situation. 
I think the iOS keyboard is actually a remnant of skeuomorphism with a plain look. The picture of Mac OS above has some early skeuomorphic traits, but is limited in execution by technology. I would consider it more of a rich design than a flat design, to be honest. A flat design is by definition designed to be, well, flat. No shadows, bevels, gradients and no depth. iOS and Android's Material Design have a strong resemblence to flat design but are actually still very much skeuomorphic. They're hybrids.
This is the most accurate. Often design is neither a definitive one or the other, but on a scale.
So, I have always purchased my music and have set up my playlists primarily as Smart Playlists based on Genres.
When I purchase a song, I make sure that I give it the appropriate genre(s) so that it automatically populates into various playlists. If I give a song the genre of 'Folk, Morning Music' then it will show up in both my Morning Music and in my Folk and Singer Songwriter smart playlists.
Then, I just bring up a specific playlist and randomly play the songs in it. Some of the playlists have many thousands of songs.
Will I be able to continue this practice with the paid service? Can I change the genre of a song I download?
When I head down to my cabin in the mountains of Mexico, without internet, will I still be able to play those downloaded songs?
Thanks for any and all clarification that can be shared.

The real sad part is even after ~5 years Spotify is only as popular as it is because it's had no real competition.
