I would have thought that the external drive was the back up. I wouldhave saving songs on that that were also contained on an internal drive.

Sieghard as much as I agree with you about the backup, it's probably
the last thing he wanted to hear right now. I lost a 2tb drive a few
weeks ago that I didn't have completely backed up. I've had ITunes
mess up my library in the past. For this reason, I only give it access
to what I want on my phone. And yes I have more than one copy.

While this is definitely not a good thing, did you not have a backup?After

all, what happens if your external drive had failed?

I had this very thing happen to me… Somehow iCloud music library gotengaged

and my entire library of ripped music got hijacked and disassembled and

disaggregated and otherwise entirely messed up… I have tens of thousandsof

songs I ripped from CDs and stored on my external harddrive, and all my
folders were messed up, songs missing, artwork, missing, things renamed,
things deleted, replaced, and all manner of havoc.  I spent years building

and organizing my library only to have it totally screwed up. I can’teven

begin to think of what I’ve lost.

One thing I have heard that is quite dismaying is that when you turn on

iCloud Music Library, your library can get messed up. People have saidthatalbums were split into two separate albums, that artwork was messed up,and

other not nice things. Someone even said that iTunes had deleted their
songs, and replace them with ones that had DRM. On hearing all these not
great comments about iCloud Music Library, I plan to avoid it for a while

until Apple gets their crap together. They seem to have problems withcloudstuff. I heard that iCloud Drive had issues as well. I don't know whatthey

are/were, but when I heard that, especially from the developer of Voice
Dream Reader, I planned to avoid that, as well.





Thanks,

Ari

Hi. I didn't read the whole article, but I don't need to read it to know

that the guy was basically bashing Apple Music. What people like him needto

remember is that Apple is trying to keep up with the times. If they stuck
with Steve Jobs' philosophy entirely, they wouldn't be where they're at
today. Also, that guy is wrong about people who don't want to pay for the
subscription to Apple Music because didn't Apple say that you can use some
of the services if you opt out of the subscription?
