Beats Music end

I just learned that Apple will close out Beats music 11/30 and the only way to transfer my music selection to the Apple music app (whatever that is) is to sign up with an IOS device (which I don't have) or with an android device which I don't use for listening to music. The two operating systems I use on my computers hooked up to my music system ( Windows 7 and Linux) are not supported.

I was really PO'd when the wonderful music app (MOG) was bought by Beats which then replaced MOG with a vastly inferior product. I'm thinking I need to get off the streaming music frame of mind altogether and just get a dedicated music server computer with a big HD and be done. Although I've always been concerned about HD crashes and all that work going puff! (I know - backups - but I'm lazy) Maybe I'll just stick to CD's and LP's like I have for the last half century...

I left Mog in Feb 2014 ... went to Xbox music ... then Spotify. I'm still using Spotify Premium ($9.99 a month)/no commercials) & RDIO Select. ($3.99 w/ commercials over the web). Both stream 320 kbps.

I like both PC web interfaces.

I would use the compatible Android device to move the playlists, and at that point, you should be able to see everything on iTunes (after you sign into Apple Music). Then just delete the app from the Android device you don't use for music.

Can I use a computer that runs windows 7 (or linux) for Apple music and iTunes?

I believe so. I have updated my Win7 computer to Win10, but I am pretty sure you can run the latest version of iTunes ( which us what you need for Apple Music).
