Last week I cancelled Apple Music. I found that my previously large music collection, which I had before joining Apple Music and its convenient web upload, was in tatters. Most albums were gone, and of the few ones still there, many had missing songs. Is that progress? Luckily I found the missing music as part of the backup of a laptop I decommissioned in 2016.
Much technology is becoming too difficult to judge properly. There are too many side effects and circumstances involved. Technology likes to pretend it is smart, but it is usually anything but. It is pushed upon people nevertheless.
- TheRealDunkirk 4y agoYou don't even have to cancel Music to notice. My playlists and library albums are changing all the time. Even super-popular stuff just up and greys out. Tracks and entire albums disappear. Just like what's happening on Netflix, et. al., the copyright holders are going CRAZY, apparently working overtime juggling catalogs for some reason. If you really want to know that you have a copy of something, despite paying for it, piracy is the only solution. It's just sad. To me, consumers met in the middle with the copyright cartel and their DRM, and now they're just shining us on. Well, I guess, who could have seen that coming? Everyone.
