In the apple music video it shows a new icon with the title music.
(Or maybe it is not new and I'm really out of touch... I don't use IOS)

Itunes has become a huge brand name... if they just called it Music then it becomes meaningless as a brand and icon, especially for those who don't normally use apple products.
However having said that I guess they could keep the itunes store name but split the apps up.

I'd rather see iTunes become strictly the store.
Exactly. Or I guess thr iTunes app could still sell music for people who don't subscribe, and want to still buy music individually. Apple did say that the traditional iTunes Store is sticking around, after all.I'd expect that when Apple Music lands, the Music app will be used for purchasing music. There will still need to be a store for Movies, TV shows, etc, though. So I guess that the iTunes app on iOS will be used to buy anything but tunes, ironically.
Yup. iTunes seriously needs a major redesign. I'd love to see it broken up into separate apps like iOS.
For the same reason why they still call the iPhone, iMac and iPod the same name. Marketing and brand awareness.This could've been asked years ago, really ... ever since they offered movies and TV shows.
You can count to three till the first people complain about the increase of apps and want it merged again. I pretty much like the idea of having all media types combined in one app and even being able to purchase it.
