Well, it looks like the full adoption of iTunes Match has finally hosed "recently added" playlists forever. Thanks, Apple!

Anyone getting a messed up miniplayer when listening to podcasts? It's fine with songs, but with podcasts if you hide the artwork, the buttons get cut off or something. Pretty annoying since I mostly listen to podcasts in this mode on iTunes.

Thanks, Apple! itunes match is nowhere to be found, it's now icloud music library! I wonder if they're going to charge us for the storage once all the $25/year subs are ready to turn over?

xarph posted:itunes match is nowhere to be found, it's now icloud music library! You're able to use either, depending on whether you're interested in the streaming service or not. They're not discontinuing Match per se. The problem is that iTunes Match couldn't support playlists that referred to other playlists or playlists that were filtered by "date added." With the Cloud system in place for Apple Music, I'm seeing the same limitations with my local libraries (the affected playlists show as empty). There were complaints about it when iTunes Match launched. They didn't care about it then, and it seems they've double-downed on it now. EDIT: loving lol! So it looks as though it didn't empty my "recently added" playlist - it deleted all the ratings of my recently added songs so they fell out of the playlist. You're doing a heckuva job, Apple.

Can I not stream my iPhone's music to my iTunes in Windows? Same Wi-Fi network, even hooked up to my computer. I wanna play around with iTunes Music, but since the 12.2 update isn't out on 64 bit Windows yet.. Also, what does hitting the heart button do on songs? Isn't there already a rating system AND an "Add to My Music" feature? What would the heart mean?

In case it helps anybody, it looks as though Apple Music erased the ratings for all of the Purchase songs that were on my phone when I uploaded iOS. That's why it affected my "Recently Added" playlist in its entirety (I started using iTunes exclusively about a month ago). It doesn't appear that non-Purchased songs were affected, but that's a nice little landmine that may be waiting for me. EDIT: The 64-bit iTunes update is out.

Any indication whether desktop iTunes wipes out your embedded cover art, like the new phone app?

I was under the impression that buying something from the iTunes store would add it to my Apple Music library, where I could play it without downloading it permanently to my device. However, I just bought a Beatles album, which downloaded automatically, and deleting it removed it from my library. To make it stick without being downloaded to my device, do I have to download it in iTunes on the desktop so it can then upload it into my cloud storage or something weird like that?

So, I'm a musician and I store a ton of drafts in my iTunes library. These are most definitely not intended for public consumption. If I turn on Apple Music, do my songs get uploaded to the cloud and become searchable, and if so can I claw that back and revoke access?

Adding the ability for artists to selectively do that really should be Apple's next move, though. Good call.

The setup of my iTunes library is a bit irregular - I've got an old computer tucked away as a server of sorts, running iTunes with home sharing turned on. So when I uses iTunes on my main computer, I browse that shared library since nothing is stored on the local machine. Just updated iTunes on the main computer. I didn't turn iCloud Library on. However, when I try to add any content to My Music, iCloud Library is automatically activated. So I guess it is impossible to use the on-demand stuff without having iCloud Library turned on. All or nothing. I'd like to mix Apple Music content with my main server library, but I'm apprehensive about the cover art being overwritten. Guess I'll import some music locally and see how it behaves before I proceed, since none of my ripped music lives on this machine for real. It's a relative safe haven for experimentation.

So, with this whole new Apple Music thing, why would a subscriber ever purchase a song from iTunes now?

89 posted:So, with this whole new Apple Music thing, why would a subscriber ever purchase a song from iTunes now? If it lets me rate with five stars, if it recognizes the "date" songs are added to my library for playlist purposes, and if there's an elegant solution for last.fm - I may not. Having said that, when I heard a song I liked on Beats 1, I went to the music store and not Apple Music. I'm fine paying $10 if it guarantees I don't buy a bad song/album, but I will probably buy songs until they mothball the store in a few years. Edit: You have to have to add your personal library to the cloud before you can add songs from Apple Music to your library (at least on the desktop). That's a nope for me.

And if iTunes' performance at setting up my 'personalised profile' or whatever when I started my free trial is anything to go by, I really doubt it's going to be able to replace Spotify for at-home streaming.

Gunder posted:Can someone please explain the difference between iTunes Match and the new iCloud Music Library that you get through Apple Music? It's mostly a question of whether you only want a portable version of your library (Match) or full access to an on-demand streaming library. Unlike Match, though all songs downloaded from Cloud Library are protected by DRM - even songs that have been matched from your library.

iTunes Match also matches with the entire iTunes library (43 million songs) while Apple Music will only "match" songs available for streaming (30 million). Or so I've read. So potentially with Match you'd have to upload less.

I right clicked an mp3 I downloaded from bandcamp and clicked "remove download" and now the song is blanked out and the local file is no longer on my hard drive. Does anyone know where it would be, or is it lost forever? This sucks because there wasn't a prompt saying "are you sure" and its not on apple music so I can't grab it that way. EDIT: it's not in the recycling, either.

Is anybody else having issues with Podcasts being cutoff when playing in the MiniPlayer? I submitted a ticket for it, but was wondering if anybody else is seeing the issue as well. Tested it on both Windows 8.1 and OS X 10.10. This is what I'm seeing - http://i.imgur.com/PB994JZ.png

I did a little test. With no local music on my machine, I turned on iCloud Music library. This populated "My Music" with music that was matched (not uploaded) from my iPhone. It looks like the metadata for these tracks have been copied directly from the files my phone (including the botched album art assigned by Apple Music yesterday), whereas the actual audio is pulled from Apple Music. So while the metadata gives me an exact match to whatever was originally synced to my phone (primarily ripped from CDs and tagged manaually), the audio itself uses the iTunes Match technique and can vary wildly depending on what is available on Apple Music. Not entirely new information, but I found it interesting that your metadata stays intact. Next thing I did was to manually import an album to my local library that already had some matched cloud content. I had a few tracks from Rage Against The Machine's first album, originally synced from my rip of the 1992 CD release, but now displaying the 2012 "XX" edition cover art that Apple Music assigned to my iPhone. When I added my own ripped files to the local library, the tracks briefly coexisted with the matched cloud tracks (it displayed as a single album with a few duplicate songs). But within a few minutes, the duplicate cloud tracks disappeared on their own - and the album displayed my 1992 cover art! So I hope this means that embedded art in local music will take priority in desktop iTunes, which is different from the terrible behavior in the iPhone music app. I restarted iTunes, turned iCloud Music Library off and on again, and my original cover art is still there, sitting happily among a bunch of new Apple Music albums ready to stream.

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I love the curated lists and it's sorta frightening how well the Apple Music - Metal guys know me  I see ways to love songs (which I assume) tells Apple you want more like this, but no way to say "Don't ever play this crap again, I despise it!" like there was on Apple Radio. Anyone know, or is this one of those "suggest to Apple" moments?

I have a question: Why has the 'iCloud Status' of some of my previously-owned tracks now changed to 'Apple Music'? Is this a straight upgrade from 'Matched' (i.e. matched but now also available on Apple Music) or is it a glitch, or something else?

Does iTunes automatically make a playlist of songs you 'heart' anywhere? I'm liking all of this new stuff...and then I synced with my computer that has 100+GBs of music I haven't organized in 6-7 years because I swapped to Spotify... Thinking sometimes to build up...you gotta tear it all down..

Am I right in thinking that there is no way to control what music get synced across to your mobile device from the desktop version of iTunes When using the new iCloud Music Library? In the past I used to achieve this by having a playlist named iPhone which I would add and subtract music to and from accordingly. After signing up to Apple music however, and enabling iCloud music library on both my mobile devices and my desktop version of iTunes, I've found that this method no longer works. Instead it seems that you have to add music to your mobile devices from the mobile device itself song by song, album by album. This method is very slow and I would prefer to be able to use the old playlist method. Has anyone found a way to do this?
