Hi Tim,
Question from the back of the class.
You say that if a title exists in Apple music, that instead of uploading
your ripped edition, that title simply becomes usable and downloadable
for you. How exact is this choice?
For example if you rip Ticket to ride by the carpenters from your cd copy
of offerings, which is rare, and Apple music has ticket to ride by the
carpenters from say the remastered cd called ticket to ride, which is the
same song but not the same arrangement, will Apple music simply substitute
what they have instead? even if not what you ripped?
Thanks,
Kare

Hi,
Nothing ever "disappears" from your devices. What happens with Apple Music is that an
iCloud Music Library is created on your behalf. So all your content, including playlists is copied
up to iCloud for syncing across all your devices. So, copies of the music you've ripped are either
uploaded to that iCloud Music Library, or if Apple has that same title in their library, it is
simply marked as usable and downloadable by you. This saves on Cloud space as titles that Apple
has in their own library do not need to be stored tons of times by tons of users. Keeping this in
mind, it is important to keep a local copy of your ripped music, as Apple downloads an "Apple
Music" encoded version of the song, which is great as long as you remain an Apple Music
customer. When you terminate your Apple Music subscription, you retain the downloaded copies, but
because they are Apple Music encoded, you will lose the ability to play them after a bit of time.
Because you've kept the local copy on your Mac, those titles won't be affected by the Apple Music
limitations, but the iPhone downloaded versions will.
the iTunes Match service also creates an iCloud Music Library but does not have
the Apple Music restrictions when you terminate the service. I love the
ability to have the same library across all my devices, so love both the Apple
Music and iTunes Match services. there are benefits and limitations to both.
Back to your original question, no you won't lose that music, but you may need
to copy it over again from your Mac if and when you do so.
Later...

Hi all,
I just started copying all of my CDs into iTunes on the Mac. Must admit it is a
million times easier then doing it with iTunes on a windows machine. My
question is: Once I???ve finished ripping the CD it appears in my music App on
my iPhone along with a download button. I???m guessing this is happening
because I???m subscribed to Apple Music? If I download the album that has shown
up in my music app on the phone, will it vanish from the iPhone if I cancel my
subscription to Apple Music even though it is the same album I copied from my
CD onto my Mac? Or should I be transferring the copied album from my Mac to the
iPhone directly so I don???t need to download it?
Hope this question made sense?
Thank you,
Petrus
