Apple Music Users Report Seeing Other People's Playlists in Their Libraries

I use only one 'futuristic' tool from Apple and that is sync for Messages between iPhone and iMac. It is always breaking! It is a garbage experience. Never have and never will use the cloud, just don't trust it.
Apple Music, the gift that keeps on giving.
Seriously, how a multi-trillion dollar developer releases such crappy software beggars belief...

Not really. A playlist doesn't contain actual files. It just has names which are linked back to files. Wouldn't be in the same location as files such as those you mentioned.
While there have been occasional blips, I trust my data to iCloud. Been solid for 20+ years.
Sure, laugh. Until your pictures appear in someone else’s library. Then you cry.
This is one of my peeves for sure. Sometimes the messages sync nicely, sometimes they don't at all. Sometimes it just the read/unread indication that doesn't sync. Apple Support didn't even understand their product. I was initially told that I HAD to use Messages in iCloud to get that functionality. Then after educating the support tech, we went through the canned steps to resolve - most of which I had already tried and explained that I didn't want to go through them again. But since Apple is now MS of the '90s, you have to oblige. Guess what, it's still broken.
Just checked Music. NONE of my playlists are there.
People excuse this stuff as "blips here and there", but the blips are actually everywhere and add up to a mess of an experience. I am sad that the premium feel is just not there for me anymore.
How is one connected to the other? Playlists are names of songs, no actual files. photos are files stored elsewhere. Playlists being leaked don't point to anything as far as files go.
Please enlighten me on the connection here.
The common dominator seems to be Eddy Cue. Why they stick with this guy is beyond me.
Playlists are actual text files. Files are files. Be it text files with names of songs in it or picture files. If text files can be mixed so can photos. By the way this same thing already happened with photos in iCloud a couple of months ago. People suddenly could see photos of others. Just search the forum.

Apple Music U2 playlist problem: “I still haven’t found what I’m looking for.”
Good explanation, exactly, photos already got mixed up in the past.
I honestly don’t even bother replying to questions like the one you answered to. Especially when people ask to be enlightened in such a smart tone. If people think it’s okay and find it funny, or think that there is nothing to hide on a playlist, I think it’s just a waste of time to try to explain why we should be concerned.
Not as bad but that news above is nowhere NEAR as fun as when …Not as bad as having strangers see your iCloud Photos.
iCloud for Windows Users Complain of Corrupted Videos, Photos From Strangers
Apple's iCloud for Windows software appears to experiencing serious issues for some users, with complaints on the MacRumors forums about...www.macrumors.com
Paris Hilton’s T-Mobioe Sidekick 2 had been hacked and leaked just about every celebrity’s personal phone numbers to the internet lmao!
Gads those ghetto blackberries were fun and hilarious.
Someone gonna let Tim Cook know iCloud and all Apple's other native apps fall behind the competition in functionality and reliability?
Hello, Tim, you there?
- Siri needs to be scrapped and replaced with something that that has intelligence.
- iCloud needs to sync better.
- Apple Music apparently needs to be fixed. I use Youtube Premium for music and ad-free Youtube.
- iWork needs to be refreshed badly.
- Mail needs to be refreshed badly.
Hello, Tim, you there?
iCloud hasn't been out for 20 years, so not sure where you're pulling that information from? It came out in 2011.
iCloud is a rebranded MobileMe which before then was .Mac and before that was iTools. Check yourself before you wreck yourself.
For me, search is broken on macOS. Sometimes, keyboard input just stops, and when I move to a different location/network, it continues to try to connect to the HomePod mini in the previous location.
It’s not necessarily intuitive, and it’s trying to do too much, I think. However, maybe I should have said, “it’s so bad for my needs,” because sometimes I stream and sometimes I play local music, but never is it easy.
Ohhh I lost like 7 playlists the other day for what seemed like no reason, I had them backed up from a few weeks prior but it was still annoying. This explains where they went.
