Apple is set to end music downloads off iTunes in the future, according Apple Music executive Jimmy Iovine who confirmed they would be “phased out” in an interview with the BBC. In the same interview, Iovine complained that music services nowadays are “too similar”. The longtime music mogul also teased “something’s gotta give” with music streaming as the services like Apple Music and Spotify are all priced the same and offer virtually the same music on each service.

Iovine is a really interesting figure in music who has been a part of some biggest critical moments in music over the last few decades. He has worked as a engineer on several big hit albums, and worked his way up to become the best music executives. He has worked with John Lennon, Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen, and partnered with Dr. Dre on Beats headphones which evolved into his current role with Apple. Check out this in-depth interview with Iovine where he speaks with Complex about his work ethic and his experiences with some of the biggest names in rock and rap.
