Well I hate to gum up this thread with more negativity but: blog.vellumatlanta.com/2016/05/04/apple-stole-my-music-no-seriously/Makes me glad I don't drink Apple-flavoured kool aid and subscribe to every of their products and services, and I'm staying away from Apple Music and hope none of my friends have been roped into it too. What they do is they take your personal music collection from your hard drives, delete them, send them online, and require you to stay subscribed to access them with internet connection. Very scummy. Come on, Apple, you can't do that.

this is also one of the problems of moving everything to The Cloud™. and there are dozens more of those problems, the most obvious being privacy concerns

What would even be the upside for them as a company to do that?
Sometimes I wonder how Apple still exists.
Says someone with an iPod who uses iTunes.

I imagine, from Apple's end, finding equivalency of the user's music to music that's already in the iTunes catalog saves them from needing to have users upload their entire collections. That doesn't excuse the problems mentioned in the article, however (I've had enough headaches of music programs fucking with my tags), and somebody really needs to be held accountable for thinking that "This song isn't in the catalog? Better delete it then!" was even remotely a good fucking idea.

What would even be the upside for them as a company to do that? as with every modern cloud storage: user gets device-independent access to the content, without the need to manually copy files between a computer, a mobile, a music player and any other device. of course there are a few extremely important problems here, many of them outlined in the article: access to music dependent on internet access and the availability of Apple servers (what if they shut down in 10 or 20 years?), bugs in the algorithm etc.

So this affects iTunes, right?

WeaselI honestly don't even understand why you would need your users to upload their music while also removing the files from the computer, and I certainly don't understand what kinda morons the people at Apple are if they couldn't see the problems this is causing coming. Maciej MiszczykI get the point of the cloud (although I think it's pretty dumb all the same), I don't get this specific dumbassery. lurkerIt affects iTunes because Apple Music needs iTunes. It doesn't affect iTunes if you don't have Apple Music. Honestly, I don't see why you'd want to use Apple Music anyway.

My life would be so much less fulfilling if it weren't for the internet. I might still be unaware of what being trans even is, if I didn't have it. I'm not going to lie. I kind of wish I still didn't know. It's screwed me up emotionally pretty hard.

Terrible news.
DQ is discontinuing the Snickers Blizzard.
Though this is good news for me because if the AC breaks in the Summer, that stuff becomes one hard rock I have to literally stab with a knife to loosen and now I don't have to worry about that anymore.

Kinda confusing.
What really bothers me is, what if you have a different remaster or something? Will it serve you your version or not? Not that I'd ever subscribe to Apple Music, but if it already has trouble seperating completely different versions of the song, I can't imagine it'll serve you a specific issue of an album. I would be pissed off if all my Judas Priest albums would suddenly be the horrendous 2001 remasters.

Or getting the radio edit of a song instead of the full version.
