B4 Opening this, I searched iMore and found nothing in relation to the following question.

I have a huge library in my Laptop with iTunes. I hardly use it any longer as the Iph and the Mini iPad do most of the leg work PC's and Laptops used to do.

Wanna/Need to get rid of the Laptop...Then How do I get to my iTunes Library once I am down to just and iPad and an iPh ???

I would recommend you keep the laptop.

I too don’t use my laptop much it’s just there to mothership my iDevices

Thanks for your reply ... I also posted the same concern in Apple, hopefully they can also help with their imput.

My Laptop gets harder and harder to digest the Windows updates and anyday I know it's going to crash

So are you wanting to access your iTunes library on your laptop once you no longer have that laptop?

L_B...Nope, I am asking what do people that have iTunes DO if they do not own a PC, Laptop or a Mac.

I mean Apple is missing the Boat here..Aren't they ??

They have not answered my same question to them.

Subscribing to Music or iTunes Match is what a good deal of people do these days and you don’t need your PC for it.

As I’ve said before, I struggle with iTunes. I’m wondering if you are referring to music that you uploaded to iTunes. I ask this because several years ago, I had loaded a bunch of CDs onto my iTunes and then my laptop crashed and that music was not on iTunes when I tried to access it from my devices and from my PC at work I could not find it. Apparently, that music was stored on my laptop, which at the time was where I had initially set up my iTunes account. Of course I fully suspect that this was my own error but I’m wondering if that’s with the original poster is concerned about… losing music that he loaded onto iTunes.
