Why not just download the songs from iTunes Match, then reupload after the switch?
- madeofpalk 5y agoMy fault, I just didn't think about the process that much - I wasn't thinking about "cancelling Apple Music", more about just changing card/countries. I figured it would keep my library around, just deactivated. I actually did end up attempting to restore backups where i had downloaded everything, but as soon as I signed in with my account it just deleted everything from my local library again. I had been using windows more and more and I didn't care so I switched to Spotify and am better for it.
- bellyfullofbac 5y agoMan, that sounds like it would work, but what an annoying workaround for a stupid problem on their side - which I guess has to do with music licensing in different jurisdictions. Makes me think of this scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyVZFm7P0CQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyVZFm7P0CQ I was just going to make this comment, but it's funny how stuff "in the cloud" has jurisdictions. I'm reminded of a Saudi Arabian guy I sat next to on a plane from Austria to Turkey. He couldn't get iTunes on his iPad to play stuff because... he was in the wrong region. Serves him (and his girlfriend) right, they came on board the plane as the last 2 people carrying six large shopping bags as carry-ons.
