since apple stopped supporting the iPod classic is there 3rd program/app used with an inexpensive mp player that anyone would recommend? I am afraid to invest in iTunes music anymore because of the difficulty of freely using once it is purchased.

Apple stopped adding DRM to purchased music back in 2009.
The newer Apple Music service includes it so that playback rights can be removed at the end of a subscription.
iTunes provides backwards compatibility to all Apple iPods. If you're having trouble updating your iPod with iTunes start with If iTunes doesn't recognize your iPhone, iPad, or iPod - Apple Support.
MediaMonkey is a good alternate media player.

Thank you. As I understand it no one downloads music anymore. One just plays back music from an online library? Sounds good to me. I just need to learn how to access this. I have a ton of cds but I just rent from the library? Thank you for the reply.
I still buy and download music, then it is mine for good, but Apple Music, Spotify and other services act as you describe, for an ongoing fee.
