My iTunes library is apparently 95.96GB (for music) and it's been working pretty awesomely. There's the occasional bug with iTunes itself, but Apple Music has been pretty solid.
> it can be easy to fool the system and gain free songs
I'm not sure what you mean by this. If you have Apple Music, you already have access to the entire catalog, so there's no trickery to gain "free songs", because they're already available. And if you don't have Apple Music, you can't do this either, because iTunes Match exclusively uses acoustic fingerprinting[1] to ensure you can never download a song you didn't already have.
[1] For non-purchased content. For purchased content they obviously already know you own it.
- SG- 11y agoYes, I wasn't saying it's a problem to 'fool the system' and get free songs, I was mentioning that it's not a problem because of how it works.
- randyrand 11y agoPlus if they used fingerprinting couldn't you still circumvent that with a youtube downloader or even torrent downloading?
- eridius 11y agoIf you do that, then you already have the song, so you're not really getting anything out of Apple that way (besides making it easier to play that song on your other devices).
