Hi, Regarding whether iTunes recognizes a CD or not, usually does not have anything to do with the seller of the CD. If the seller in question created their own, non-sanctioned, version of the artist's album, then you may have a point. If all they did is burn cheap copies of it and passed

Hi Karen, The easy answer is, "Sort of". Apple Music is far from perfect. As far as I can tell, it does a comparison of the title, the artist, the time and some digital comparisons to match things. The digital comparisons are to ensure that the song is actually what you say it is. We

Hi Tim, Question from the back of the class. You say that if a title exists in Apple music, that instead of uploading your ripped edition, that title simply becomes usable and downloadable for you. How exact is this choice? For example if you rip Ticket to ride by the carpenters from your
