A small yet colorful part of the iTunes Store will be history by year's end. According to an internal Apple email obtained by Metro, Apple will stop taking iTunes LP submissions this month. Apple confirmed the plans to The Verge, signaling the impending end of the paid multimedia album experience on iTunes.
The leaked email reportedly said, "Apple will no longer accept new submissions of iTunes LPs after March 2018," and "existing LPs will be deprecated from the store during the remainder of 2018. Customers who have previously purchased an album containing an iTunes LP will still be able to download the additional content using iTunes Match."
According to the Verge's report, customers who purchased LPs will continue to have access to them and will be able to download previous and new LP purchases via iTunes. Customers won't see any newly added LPs available to buy in the iTunes Store after this month.
