In the Music app, under in the iCloud column most of the music has an arrow pointing down. What does that mean? I was thinking it meant ripped versus bought on the iTunes Store, but I've found it doesn't seem to matter as both are sprinkled through with the arrow, and the vast majority have it. Is this to do with Music Match? I don't ever remembering turning that on.

Also, on playing some tracks, Music just stops dead. Then if I hit play it jumps to the next track, but if I hit back, it's like it's started from scratch and there is no 'back', no history. And those are sprinkled about through the library too as I hit them occasionally. And some are bands I really like! Rolling Stones, Cars, Soundgarden, etc...

Is there a utility to sift through the music library and find out if a song is bad? Why would it be bad anyway? Some of the tracks that do that are ripped tracks, and some are iTunes tracks, surprisingly. Makes no sense. Is the library corrupted? (I have some Josh Groban tracks for my mom, but no Kenny G. OH NO! I DO! No idea where that came from) I hope I don't have to re-rip my collection. The last time iTunes ate my library it took 4 days to get it all ripped. Yikes...


Thanks all. I hate to go to AppleCare yet, as they were the reason I had to rip my discs over again the first time, and second too.

Apple Music App, and iTunes has definitely been a pain at times.
