Somebody on another list claims that nothing is going to change on the window side. But I don’t necessarily know where they got that. As for the encrypted backup, I quit using it when they added all the stuff to iCloud that used to be only in the encrypted backup. That plus the fact that you couldn’t back up all apps anymore was enough to make iTunes more less useless for any sort of phone back up for me. What I want to know is what happens with iTunes match? I have a lot of music in the cloud that I ripped for my own CDs and was matched in iTunes match. Some of that music is not on the Apple Music store or music service I should say. And they’re telling me my match subscription is up for renewal this month. Are they going to take my 25 bucks and then kill it? I wonder how I find that out, and what happens to all that music that I owned and ripped and now lives on an old Mac and in my music library in the cloud through match.
