I feel bad for Trent Reznor.

Yeah it's just going to be put somewhere else and listened to in a different way.

They'll definitely just integrate it into an iTunes Unlimited service or something like that. Consumers aren't comfortable with the Beats brand the way they are with the Apple brand.

Yeah, that was my first thought - it's not going away due to poor business. Apple likely bought Beats Music as an acquisition to incorporate, basically taking out a minor competitor.

TechCrunch had reported on this yesterday, but they have an update on what is "really happening." Apple has told TechCrunch that our report of Beats being shut down “is not true”, but sources familiar with the situation tell Re/code that Apple “may, however, modify [Beats Music] over time, and one of those changes could involved changing the Beats Music brand.” This aligns with what my sources said, which is that the Beats Music brand will be shut down, but that it’s unclear what Apple wants to do in streaming music. It seems quite possible that the Beats Music product could be rolled into iTunes rather than being ‘shuttered’, but that’s semantics.Source
