With a bit of bad luck, automatic sync easily turns into a mess (see the trainwreck that is Apple Music; even the most devoted fanboys loathe it).
- madeofpalk 11y agoI appreciate that it's starting to get off topic, but in my experience the problems with Apple Music isn't related to whether the sync is automatic or not. The issues that I run into are UX issues (not sync related), and what I've heard is problems with what the server does once a sync is finished (automatic or not).
