I have to say, Apple Music for macOS was rolled out terribly, and is still a horrible application. They should have kept iTunes for those who wanted it.
Apple Music literally criticises and lies to me when I try to add songs...
• It adds my albums in some weird order, and I simply cannot get it to add them by track name (01–10...)/ID3 track order. So I'd have to literally add hundreds of albums, and then re-order them by hand. [lost time]
• Even if the songs I want to play are on my local disk, it takes 3 seconds for it to talk to some fn server somewhere for some reason. [lost time]
• I no longer have metadata, such as the number of times I've played a song... [lost data]
• It displays server album art, and not the album art embedded in the ID3... so I'll have an album where 9/10 songs have the right album art, and 1 song has the single art... wtf? [lost data]
• With songs that I've listened to a lot since I was 16, I find skips or blowouts with the encoding process of the song. This is annoying, but when I added MY OWN FN SONGS TO THE LIBRARY, WHY THE HELL IS IT PLAYING STREAMED SONGS??? [lost data]
• Apple Music matches names of songs to versions that are actually different on the CDs that I've ripped. [lost data]
• It tells me that it's adding songs to my library, but doesn't. Why? Because it's checking what I add with the server, rather than just accepting to use my local library. [lost data]
• When I'm looking at music I don't own, I'll start playing an album or playlist... and go following some other links while I'm listening...then I can't get back to that playlist unless I know which ridiculous ... to click on. [lost position]
• When I restart Apple Music, if I was listening to a non-local playlist, it doesn't remember where I was or what I was listening to. So, if you like a playlist or album, don't quit without adding the playlist locally. Speaking of which... [lost state]
• Try adding a playlist to your library. Great. Now heart some songs. Now make a Smart Playlist that's 'Hearts' from 'The Playlist'. Lol. It would be funny if it wasn't breaking my hearts.
• Piece of **** software has caused hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people to lose functionality that they had, and combined with the Apple Match fiasco, has lost so many people their local copy of music that they owned and had ripped from their own collections, violating the first law of robotics... Never Lose Data.
• I have songs that I've written, or from friends, that are not released, and when I add them, Apple Music insists on finding an artist in its database, and showing me that artist/album art, even though it doesn't match (i.e. there is no such album from their chosen artist), and ignoring the ID3 album art that was embedded in the songs. [lost data]
• I could go on, but I should just start my own blog called AppleMusic.lol...
• Apple may have music in its DNA, Steve may have had music in his DNA, but Tim Cook and the Apple staff who were responsible for Apple Music do not. (View Tim's interaction with any musician). [lost love]
• The iPod was core to Apple's resurgence after Steve came back, and iTunes was the enabler of that. Now Apple Music just another way for Tim to squeeze money out of customers. You can bet Apple's next quarterly profits that he doesn't use Apple Music the way a music lover does. He has the money to just have U2 show up and play his favourite tunes during his morning treadmill run. [lost revenue when I cancel my sub month after next]
