FallenWalnutYour guide to a new Music Streaming service (Reworked)
ReluctantZenQobuz also does purchaseable music!
Same with Apple Music.
Yeah until they remove the albums and you don’t keep them anymore afaik
You are complaining about something that is not specific to Apple Music. It can happen, and it sucks, but Apple is no different from any other online music purchasing store in this regard.
iTunes Store purchases are free from DRM and can be backed up just like any other libre digital purchases.
All songs offered by the iTunes Store come without Digital Rights Management (DRM) protection. These DRM-free songs, called iTunes Plus, have no usage restrictions and feature high-quality, 256 kbps AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) encoding.
I dunno about the other two, but you absolutely own the music you download from bandcamp. Trying to gaslight everyone into believing that apple music isn’t shit is naïve at best, complicit at worst.
dblsaikoBought music from iTunes (not Apple Music, the streaming service!) is DRM-free just as Bandcamp, and I’ve lost music from my Bandcamp profile as well because the artist deleted their account (which I luckily downloaded most of beforehand).
The effectively only difference is Bandcamp offers lossless downloads.
