How can Apple get away with this?

I don’t use Apple Music myself and after reading this you may be wondering why anyone actually would!

    Meanwhile, in Google Play:

    “Via Google Play Music app on Android v4+, iOS v7+, or by exporting MP3 files to your computer and playing on any MP3 compatible music player”

    …and that is without any sort of subscription. The reason I’m using a service like this at all (instead of going to the store and buying actual CDs, like in the old days), is that I get to at least download DRM-free files to store away.

    That’s terrible, especially if Apple doesn’t explicitly warn people that will happen. I do have an iTunes library (that I sync to Google Play Music), but no Music subscription, and it would never occur to me that the original files would be deleted.

    I think the real lesson though is if files are important to you, make a separate backup outside the cloud and on a different hard drive than your main desktop computer. Files in the cloud can end up inadvertently deleted or corrupted no matter which service you use.

    That’s good advice in general Peggy K More than one backup is also a good idea. I have seen backup drives fail just when they are needed. It isn’t a pretty sight when it happens.
