Apple has confirmed to The Verge that it will
stop taking new iTunes LP submissions as of this month. The format,
which was launched in 2009, was a way for users to buy albums with
bundled elements, like videos, liner notes, or bonus tracks.
Earlier today, UK-based website Metro
claimed to have a leaked internal email from Apple sent to music
producers titled “The End of iTunes LPs.” The email supposedly stated
that “Apple will no longer accept new submissions of iTunes LPs after
March 2018,” and that “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.”
