Old Google Searches?

one of the more frustrating things about searching for information on the internet is when for instance a piece of information is widely excepted and therefore is the only thing one can find. am example of this is today i wanted to try and figure out a way to stream music from my itunes to my iphone(should already work, but doesn't for some dumb reason). almost everyone says to try SimplifyMedia. well thats fantastic except for the fact that the company has removed the app from the appstore and stopped supporting the app for their servers. the public announcement goes like this,

"After developing the technology behind Simplify Media for over 4 years, it is time for us to take it in a new direction. In order to focus on this transition, we will no longer be offering the current software to new users. Today we are removing the Simplify iPhone applications from the App Store, and new account creation will be disabled shortly after that. However, existing Simplify accounts and clients will continue to work fine."

so since most of the internets say that i should use an app that no longer exists, there is no other viable option available, since everyone agreed that was the best way. its not like someone is going to go around the web and inform everyone to update their 3 year old blog posts that the app doesn't exist any longer. so now the giant series of tubes that is the internet are all clogged with inaccurate data leading me to just give up on yet another technology adventure.
