If you decide you no longer want to pay that $10 a month for Apple Music, everything you downloaded from the music service will disappear because you didn't own it.
So when you buy the service, you can download stuff onto your computer as long as you pay the subscription. And this service has a different kind of music file. Initially, all it did was organize the collection, right, on your computer.Īnd most recently, they introduced a subscription service. And it has been built upon and built upon and built upon. This is a piece of software that first came out in 2001. I want to say that part of the issue may simply be what we're talking about when we're talking about iTunes. SYDELL: Well, (laughter) I suppose it is. SIMON: But, I mean, if a lot of unintentional deletions occur, it's the same thing, isn't it? But I would not say that Apple in any way would intentionally delete something on your computer. And there is some possibility that there could be some kind of glitch which maybe erased some songs on this gentleman's computer by accident. This can be confusing and create problems, I think, because iTunes does go into your computer, look for these matches. This way when you go use other devices, it will reach into its Cloud and say, oh, Laura owns that song. So if you have something in your old collection on your computer, it finds a match on its servers. For one thing, they have something called iTunes Match. But there are a lot of features that could potentially go wrong with this software. No, it doesn't steal anybody's music, at least not on purpose. SIMON: So does Apple Music steal anybody's music? Thanks very much for being with us, Laura. Laura Sydell reports on digital culture for NPR. Now others on the internet, including Snopes, a fact-checking site, disputed that claim and called the situation a combination of user error, confusing interface and possible glitches in the software.
No, Seriously." That's the alarming title of a blog post by composer James Pinkstone who claimed that some of his files were deleted when he signed up for Apple Music.
