That makes the phone the scanner and by definition it's before iCloud. Apple makes it very hard to use an iPhone/iPad without keeping iCloud enabled. I don't want my phone spying on me, that sets a dangerous precedent. I don&

I did not have that experience with Google Play Music, but I have run into a different struggle with metadata. The new Youtube Music doesn't allow editing metadata online, you have to download the file, edit the tags, and then reupload

Youtube Music actually does have a option to upload up to 100,000 songs. This was one of the biggest selling points of Google Play Music and the feature was mostly carried over. The difference now is that uploaded files aren't automati
