The music marketplace is revolutionized once more as Apple launches the iTunes Music Store. Consumers can purchase music for 99¢ a song for use with the Apple iPod and iTunes software. Of course Apple was not the first to offer a digital music sales service, but iTunes became an instant success, selling over one million songs in its first week. But like all other aspects of our lives, changes happen. Apple Music was introduced in 2015 as consumer preferences shifted. Originally, it was incorporated into iTunes. By 2019. iTunes was broken up into three dedicated apps: Apple Music, Apple TV, and Apple Podcasts.
