Jonas WisserI truly can't express right now how mad I am about music streaming generally and the absolute decay of Apple's iTunes ecosystem in favor of Apple Music specifically.
Do yourself a favor: own a copy of your music. Don't use a streaming service.
Martin P.@jwisser I have gigs and gigs of music accumulated over decades on hard drives, and I just got a new Mac after years on a PC and Apple Music makes it, as far as I can tell, impossible to play that music on my hard drive, like I used to on the windows iTunes app? Wtaf
@PaperCities That's wild. You should be able to import all your files into Music.app, and it *should* be able to play them… but the reason I switched to Doppler is that Music.app sometimes just doesn't play local tracks for me, or clips them at a random duration, or… you get the gist.
@jwisser I mean, I haven’t owned a Mac in 15 years so there’s almost certainly something I’m missing, but iTunes.app on Windows makes it wicked easy and Music.app on the Mac makes it 100% unintuitive
@PaperCities The moment they changed the name of the app from “iTunes" to "Music" was a sign to start making new plans. :-/
@jwisser totally, the writings been on the wall for years, it seems the legacy windows stuff still allowed me to live in the 00’s for just a few more years
