Hi Pete,
Is that correct if you buy music  using iTunes, ie pay hard money for it vs 
renting through Apple Music?

Re: Music

[Ronni Brown]

Yes Peter and Stephen you are correct.
“If you buy a digital music track or album from the iTunes store or one of its 
competitors, you don't own it. Instead, you're buying a license to play that 
track or album, and that license comes with an extremely limited set of rights.”

Re: Music

[Peter Crisp]

Yes, that is a bummer. If you're a subscriber, you've paid for access
to the entire Apple Music database - it must be enormous! There is no
need to BUY anything, in fact I thought being a subscriber, you can't
actually BUY anything in the Music store - the log in should be
recognised and not effectively double charge.

Re: Music

[Peter Crisp]

Hi Stephen, when you buy some content (Music) on your iMac, this in
turn adds it to your iTunes library. If you have the "iCloud Music
Library" button ON (green) (on the iPhone Settings>Music>iCloud Music
Library), then there is no need to connect the phone to the Mac and
synch, you can just open the Music app on the iphone and it will take
a moment and then just synch over the air (within your WiFi or 4G)
your entire library. This doesn't mean the content is downloaded onto
the iPhone, it just means your library metadata is visible for you to
then play it form the phone. It will play via streaming using Wifi or
4G unless you specifically select the Download symbol for that
song/albums that you BUY. Conversely, you can BUY it using the phone
and it then synchs back to the Mac iTunes library.

Kind Regards

Peter Crisp

 Certainly some things have changed in the Apple music world.
I occasionally buy a few songs from Apple Music.I do this using my
iMac.Then I plug my iPhone 6S (and also my wife’s iPhone SE) into my

But lately, when I Sync iPhones with iMac Music, not all songs
transfer to the iPhones.There seems to be some kind of
“disconnect” between them regarding Music.
Can anyone explain this please ?

Re: Music

[Peter Crisp]

Right, agreed Peter, music that you own the content and have imported
into iTunes doesn't have the DRM applied and so I believe you should
be able to make further CD's of that owned content or export to a USB
if you choose.
I have put this to the test just now. A CD (that I bought myself) I
imported years ago in my library, I am able to copy out to a USB no
problem, I can then play it using QuickTime player (to distance from
my iTunes to which I am a Music subscriber) - it plays no problem.
Conversely, a song I exported to the same USB (grabbed from my iTunes
library and an Apply Copyrighted song) the file exported ok, but the
DRM prevents it from being played using QuickTime player, but it will
play off the USB from the iTunes app as my subscription permits this
to be played as I have the 'licence' to play it.
I too have ~300GB of owned music but I just don't need to buy anything
now as I have paid with my subscription - but it obliges me to
maintain this subscription for life (which is what Apple wants) to
continue to have this extra material available or if I cancel my
subscription, I revert to my 300GB owned library. 

Kind Regards

Pete

Try All2MP3 (https://all2mp3.en.softonic.com/mac). Despite the user reviews 
I’ve had very good results with this for many years. You could also try Music 
Converter from the same site (https://music-converter-mac.en.softonic.com/mac), 
which seems to have more positive comments.

Re: Music

[Peter Crisp]

Hi Marcus, I think if you press the "buy" button on a song or album,
if you're NOT an Apple Music paid subscriber, then you get to play
that song on your apple device/s anywhere and download to your device
to play where you don't have 4G service - but still constrained to
your Apple devices. If you ARE an Apple Music Subscriber, you don't
have to pay or press Buy on anything more for anything in the entire
Music database which Apple manages because your subscription fee
covers ALL music purchases. This does not include movies, it is just
music. 
It's a similar theme for movies, when you 'buy (rent)' a movie, you
buy the licence to play it for 48 hours (from when you start it) or if
you pay to own the movie, you can play it as many times as you like on
YOUR Apple devices too.

Kind Regards

Peter Crisp

 Hi Pete,Is that correct if you buy music  using iTunes, ie pay hard
money for it vs renting through Apple Music?Cheers

Re: Music

[Peter Crisp]

Thanks Ronni, it will be more fun to read these terms and conditions
than watch the AFL right now! 
Many people eschew the use of the Apple ecosystem for this and many
other reasons. I am quite ok with it and have a Family Music
subscription which almost all my family utilise heavily and daily. It
has changed our way of living with music from the 80's when CD's and
cassettes were widely used to play in cars etc. Even now in the
Android environment you're obliged to subscribe to Spotify (I think,
unless you want the order set by Spotify and adverts) or other
streaming services but maybe there are still ways to play anything you
like for free. It is all about supporting the artists that put their
effort into producing it. Fair enough I reckon.

Kind Regards

Peter Crisp

 Yes Peter and Stephen you are correct.“If you BUY a
digital MUSIC track or album from the ITUNES store or one of its
competitors, you don't OWN it. Instead, you're BUYING a license to
play that track or album, and that license comes with an extremely
limited set of rights.”
