I just found out Apple has removed the ability to remove downloaded music on iOS 6. In stead, iTunes Match automatically deletes the least played songs when space is required.
This is terrible! Users can no longer control what music they have on their iPhone. Sometimes I just want to get rid of some music because I'm tired of it, but it might have enough plays to never get get deleted.
The only way to delete your own music is by turning iTunes Match off, delete the music and turn it back on again. However, it takes ages for iTunes Match to 'initialize' when turning it back on again, so this doesn't work either.
The alternative is just to stream music, but this isn't ideal either. For example, when playings songs on shuffle, I don't want to play songs from my entire library. My library is a colleciton that I've built up over the past years, but it does not accurately reflect my current taste in music.
This is pretty bad. Apple screwed up a flawless service. I'm very disappointed.
