It's all in the air at the moment, so we don't know what happens if you upgrade to iTunes 12 and you decide not to use the Apple Music service. I can't see them forcing you to sign up somehow. Apple isn't like that; no other company should be either. I speculate that there will be some way to enable and disable or turn on or off the usage of Apple Music but again this is speculation. > On 12 Jun 2015, at 21:43, M.
