I spent almost two days trying to resync my music after iTunes deleted it for no reason. It's the worst software on the planet.

  After I subscribed to iTunes Match, it "helpfully" reworked all of my ~4300 song iTunes library so that most of the songs where I ripped a whole CD into iTunes were now spread across various "Greatest Hits" albums from the same (or sometimes different) artist, with random cover art. And after reading Jim Dalrymple's horror stories of upgrading to Apple Music, I am fearful both of ever discontinuing my iTunes Match subscription or upgrading to Apple Music. My solution thus far has been to stop even trying to listen to music on iTunes and switch to podcasts instead (on Overcast, not Apple's horrible Podcasts app). #ThanksiTunes

    This is the one complaint I agree with. Honestly, all the so called UX problems in those tweets are eye-rollingly contrived, but there's no excuse for messing with the actual music that I own.

    iTunes Match never messed up my library, though Apple Music certainly did.

  I feel your pain. Same thing happened to me twice(!) and then it tried to delete all my Google contacts. iTunes is now second from the top on my list of software-I-will-never-use-again[0], so that means no shiny Apple devices for me. Which is a shame, because otherwise I quite like Apple stuff. [0] Of course, Lotus Notes is top of the list

  iTunes is actually the main reason I am considering switching to Android.
