I know that this music format isn't a favorite among audiophiles, but I like it because it's easy to use and there's lots of great music for $1 or less. I don't want to stream my music for a monthly fee, I want to buy it. I prefer just individual songs rather than being forced to purchase the whole album. Is there another digital music service that fills the gap left by iTunes?

I still like physical copies. But for the millinneals, MP3 downloads are the preferred delivery method, I suppose.
I'm actually quite old, sadly. I'm fond of my turntable, vinyl collection, old radio, Walkman, and all that, but physical copies aren't as portable as digital copies and they always cost more. That's okay when I'm buying an album from yesteryear that I already know I'll love, but I rarely like the entire album that a music artist records today. I think things were made better in my day, but I do enjoy the latest tech too.
What do you listen to on your phones? I imagine it's harder to work around the lossy issue without the jack.

The Apple Music app will operate much like the iTunes app. You can buy music for super cheap and your old music should still be there. Just be sure to backup your music files soon just in case something happens. Apple Music carries a monthly subscription fee if you want to stream music (kind of like Spotify) but you can listen to the music you own without paying anything. Everything is essentially the same, but it's been broken up into three apps. One for music, one for movies, and one for podcasts.
It's possible to download CD quality music to your phone fairly easily, but when using the standard AirPods that come with the phone, I personally can't tell a difference in how they sound.
