"When Apple Music adds these matched songs to your iCloud Music Library, Apple Music doesn’t change or alter your original music files that reside in iTunes for Mac or PC or on your iOS devices from which they were added.
ICloud Music Library: Understanding differences between Apple Music and iTunes Match - Apple Support Not only is this frustrating (and I am a long-time and continuing customer of Apple), I wonder how this can even be legal? How can Apple commandeer MY music and deny me access to property I have rightfully purchased?Īpple music like iTunes Match doesn't change or alter your original file: So once again, Apple has basically seized my property and will not allow me to access it. So I cannot transfer songs that I own (and in many cases purchased on iTunes) because Apple has matched this song to something in Apple Music (which will not synch to an older device). The other problem is that I have an Ipod Classic for my car and when I try to synch it, it will not synch songs that I own but that Apple mistakenly thinks is part of Apple Music. In a few cases - the replaced song is completed different - different artist - one has even been replaced by a foreign singer in a foreign language.Īpple has damaged my own personal library of music, perhaps irreparably. Worse - I stupidly sold and gave away a lot of my old CD's and can no longer find the original version. Songs that I ripped from CD's have randomly been replaced with different versions.

The solution seems to be this:ġ) force download of all my private music from the iCloud libraryģ) delete and reimport the CD with the replaced tracksĤ) And of course, cancel my Apple Music subscription. Just a small number of tracks have been override by iTunes store versions. Thankfully, the majority of my songs match those in the itunes store. I need to turn the library back to see them again. All my private songs have been uploaded to this "iCloud Music Library". Only the purchases from iTunes Store remain. The problem is that when U turn off "iCloud Music Library", all my private songs disappear. I must have foolishly chosen "Merge" when asked. Choose Merge to add the songs currently on your device to your library.* If you select Replace, the music on your device is replaced with your Apple Music library.' "if you already have music on your device, you'll be asked if you want to Merge or Replace the music. Note Check your Apple Music library settings - Apple Support actually warns you about that:
One guy on Reddit was complaining that he had lost a vast number of live recordings that way. Very different.Ī bit of googling confirmed that this is what Apple Music does: it essentially activates the iTune Match functionality and silently replaces all your songs from whatever is in the iTunes store.
The one from the CD was a live performance, the new one was a studio recording. Then I got home, turned up my Mac and went to listen to the same track. I was listening to a track while driving (from my iPhone through the car audio). Over time I have uploaded a number of CDs to my iTunes library on my Mac, and synced on my iPhone. I just subscribed to Apple Music as a trial.
