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.
Several times tonight I've had to torrent albums I've paid for because Music.app simply won't let me download a non-DRMed version. Instead, it repeatedly serves me the DRMed Apple Music version.
The iTunes ecosystem had literally one job. Fucking embarrassing.
It's getting harder and harder to recommend Apple anything to family or friends. But the big problem is that nothing else is getting better at the same rate Apple software and ecosystems are getting worse, so I'm increasingly tempted to tell them "Just avoid using computers”.
I am *this close* to telling everyone I know that CDs and Discmans are the future.
I legitimately think I'm going to invest in a USB CD drive and buy all my future albums on CD. That way I can rip to lossless but also just have a physical music library.
BoredomFestival@jwisser that is exactly what I'm doing now, and at least Music.app is still perfectly adequate for ripping to lossless
