Would Steve have been okay with this?
should've used FLAC
>>54392825
Text also mentions WAV so presumably it's pretty much any audio format
Apple is a pompous, worthless, domineering company that always wants their shitty closed system forced on everything.
Just to think that they made an ad protesting herd mentality during their formative years.
These Sheeple deserve what they get.

Do you subscribe to Apple Music? Or do you just buy what you want to listen to? Or do you ignore the store entirely?

I am subscribed to Apple Music, I use the service to find songs I like, then I go download the MP3s and replace the apple music for the ones I downloaded myself.
>>54393020
Keep your gay thoughts to yourself, OP.
>>54392965
It's a good thing for software to include an option to automatically delete personal files.
>using Apple Music instead of Spotify or GPM
>>54393037
But they talked to an Apple customer service rep who confirmed it and even said they didn't subscribe to apple music for that reason. So basically Apple's own employess don't even like it.

You need to enable "icloud music libraery" or whatever the fuck if you want them to delete your files, I think.
Everyone who uses apple anything knows full well that their services for anything "official" is a messy piece of shit that is best left alone.
Then they go mixing shit like the one related on the article? They are asking for it, that person only read the mandatory disclaimer AFTER getting bum invaded, which I bet it wasn't even read by the person but rather pointed out by a tier two support upon threatening to sue apple.
Also, not having backups of your own fucking music and saving the only originals to itunes library. Natural selection at its best.
Posted from my iPhone 6.
I didn't bother to read the thread, but I'm guessing some Apple cuck is going to defend this.
LMAO you cucks.
>>54393320
Who the fuck is stupid enough to use iCloud™?
If that is what's happening than that's pretty fucked.

>>54393345
What is he even bitching about then? It's probably some shitty feature to save space.
>>54393190
Full retard then, I suggest having a look at something like the zip file format and then try to re-evaluate your "knowledge" about lossless compression
>>54393365
>What is he even bitching about then?
The fact that a service he pays for is preventing him from keeping his own recordings on his own computer?
Deleting itunes is one of the first things to do after an OSX install anyway,
>article written by a freelance composer who "saves WAV files of my own compositions rather than Mp3s. WAV files have about ten times the number of samples, so they just sound better"
I'm not inclined to take this at face value at all. There's probably some setting to "free up space after uploading" in Apple Music that's off by default and this retard turned it on without knowing what it was and is now angry and using the internet as a platform for his story where he conveniently leaves out his stupid shit.
If this were a real thing, why does everyone here with the service report that their music is all fine?

How can be anyone so stupid to enable this shit? Muh fucking sides xDDDDD
>>54393461
No he didn't. He had shit that he hadn't bought on itunes, but had still imported into his library
>>54393377
If he chooses to use the feature that does it, it's not related to the service. Other cucks who use Apple Music had no problems.
>>54393377
At least inform yourself before making shit claims. As bad as it is you only have your music there if you either press acceptlol on everything without reading or you actively put it there.
You can have selected content only transfered to itunes or none at all.
By far am I defending this piece of shit that baffles me how it still exists, just pointing out that for this to happen as it did just shows that you do not know what you are doing and shouldn't even be doing it to begin with.
Because you know, consequences will never be the same.

>>54393461
iCloud Music Library works this way: It checks your Library for songs in iTunes Music Store, if songs matches it puts it in a checklist, everything else gets uploaded (there are size and duration limits but it's the original file). You can decide to keep the download locally or to delete it locally but use the iCloud Library to Stream it. If you don't choose to delete it locally there's literally no problem.
I have a huge amount of remixes that's not on Apple Music and those files are still on my SSD as well.
Also, to delete album artwork see pic related.
>>54392811
So, let me get this straight.
He turned on cloud sync and as part of the sync it moved the files onto iCloud and deleted the local copies. And that's it?
Damn this is some quality click-bait, I'll give it that.
>>54393387
Can you do that? I deleted iPhotos one time and it fucked up my OS for weeks before I finally restored it.
>>54393443
>>54393484
This explains it actually. Thanks fám.
>>54393552
Yes, uploaded his music and deleted the local files, obvious clickbait is obvious. Only uninformed apple haters on /g/ get fooled.
>>54392811
>>54393443
It doesn't say it's going to delete them on local disk
That's not even implied
It would be frustrating, but he deserved it for using propriatary services.
In fact, this is a good thing for freedom loving individuals.
The more companies like Microsoft and Apple overstep the boundries, the more likely people are to turn to computing freedom.
>>54393552

In some cases, transcoded and deleted the original files.

Not too uncommon for people using itunes to just convert flac into alac if they want to keep using lossless.
>>54393728
Just after "meme" getting b& as well.
>>54393459
Yes. Compressed doesn't mean lossy. When you zip up your folders of gay furry porn and then unzip them the pictures don't look worse, do they? When you zip a program and then unzip it, it still works, doesn't it?

Even if it is explicitly written in the agreement Apple should be liablee for deleting valuable information without explicit mention.
Imagine that a program stores child porn on the HDD and it is written in such way so that will necessarily happen (it is designed this way and this is visible upon expection of machine code or sources). Will the developer be liable for that? In my opinion: yes, they will, even if they said that they do not guarantee that a program won't store child porn on a PC. Saying that you are not liable for something being deleted accidentially does not mean that you may do it intentionally and woon't be sued.

I disagree. OS X and Windows 7 era Explorer are what I consider the pinnacle of UX. Unity in 12.04 and onward is a great combination of both. Too bad it gets buggier every release, despite no real outward facing changes or major version bumps

>>54393067
I'm an engineer. I keep all my masters in WAV, and convert to mp3 320 for listening.
>>54395337

>>54395359
Why the fuck would you do that? FLAC often takes half the bitrate WAV needs and stay lossless, while 320kbps mp3 for listening is pure bloat.
>>54395402
Occam's Razor anon. Just do the backup.
>>54395423
WAV is the industry standard for masters.
MP3 320 is the highest possible quality for a lossy file.

>Would Steve have been okay with this?
Given his monolithic approach, early support of DRM, and disregard to music originations I think Steve would have been okay with this if not going a step farther and try to charge for them to get their music back.
>>54395423
Not him but no it doesn't. Depending on music complexity FLAC will only reduce file size by only 20-30% compared to 1.4Mbps 44 kHz sample rate WAV. It will also result in significantly longer loading and encoding times.
>>54395468
>early support of DRM
I think a lot of that had to do with the RIAA hardballed iTunes otherwise. There's a reason no other online music service had the kind of selection iTunes had until Steve Jobs had enough control to say no more DRM.
>>54395486
>It will also result in significantly longer loading and encoding times.
this.
Added to the fact that most audio editing programs & DAWs won't even touch FLAC and you're stuck manually converting back and forth every time you need to do anything more complex than *listen* to the track.
Oh, and if you're trying to play FLACs multitracked, the CPU overhead will kill much faster than the HDD overhead of using WAVs.
>>54395516
>I think a lot of that had to do with the RIAA hardballed iTunes otherwise.
Why would you think that? Steve was a certifiable nutter with a nature to be a control freak.
>>54395545
Perhaps his fetish didn't help but it's doubtful that Apple had any choice in the first place.
>>54395527
I thought FLAC has very low decoding cost, oh well.
>>54395707
>it's doubtful that Apple had any choice in the first place.

>>54392811
lol you dumb fuck don't use apple products you dumb fuck. also if the files were so important to you why the fuck would you not back them up somewhere?
a backup is a copy
y u have no copy?
Steve would be ok with ignorant users doing retarded shit
why not use ACLs to prevent access from itunes process?
Several options this dumb fuck had and failed
would be in the same boat if he spilled his fruit loops all over his laptop and killed his HD
Just transcode all your mp3 files to flac then.
Simple.

it's low compared to other lossless formats out there, high compared to most lossy formats

Last I checked its a pretty well documented story. He conceded at first to amass power, and then gave a giant middle finger in the form of DRM free 256kbps m4a files. A year later and Google, Amazon, etc., suddenly had libraries comparable to iTunes

>Last I checked its a pretty well documented story.
Got a link to said "documentation?"
>>54396281
I don't know, Time magazine or something? CNET?
>>54397815
It is so "well documented" that you cannot find a single documentation?
I did a quick search but all I see is a letter from Jobs while being sued in Europe to open the DRM. Just like he tried to blame the owners for bad reception as "you're holding it wrong" he tried to blame others for Apple's choice to incorporate DRM as if iTunes was not the largest digital distributor of music and even acknowledged that "90% of music is distributed DRM free." There doesn't seem to be any documentation prior to the suit.

You're sure it's the same letter? This one is about abandoning DRM.
>"Jobs concludes that the best course of action is to abandon DRM completely. He then asks for help in convincing record labels to allow Apple to sell music without it, writing, "Perhaps those unhappy with the current situation should redirect theirenergies towards persuading the music companies to sell their musicDRM-free." "

Yeah that sounds like Jobs alright.

Apple users have been getting bamboozled since day one.
>>54398096
>You're sure it's the same letter?
Yes. That is merely the third alternative of the same letter. There are a few links that discuss more than just the third part.

Well and he does insist on the third alternative, so I don't see the issue. Jobs being his cunty self, he also proposes stuff that would put Apple in a more powerful position but this doesn't negate the overall point.
Also Jesus fuck, in the past cucks bought DRM infested shit, now they lend their music for a monthly fee ... people just ask to get fucked over.
Wow. I knew Apple was no better than Microsoft. Uploading WAV files to Apple servers and then deleting them should be theft. People probably agreed to it by clicking "yes" though. Fuck both of these companies and Google as well. They're all rotten to the core.
>>54398341
>Well and he does insist on the third alternative, so I don't see the issue.
Perhaps you should read a bit more deeply and consider the conducts of Apple during the time rather than merely what is being said, ie. "lip service." It isn't the first time Jobs has said one thing while Apple does another.
>Back in 2002, he went on the record with this gem: “If you legally acquire music, you need to have the right to manage it on all other devices that you own.”
>But later, an Apple attorney told a tech conference that Apple would keep its DRM even if the labels asked to have it removed. And when Real announced that it had put a Real DRM player on Apple’s iPod so that you could listen to its DRM music on Apple’s player, Apple responded with legal threats.
>Actions speak louder than words. Artists have asked — begged — Apple to sell their music without DRM for years. From individual bestselling acts like Barenaked Ladies to entire labels of copy-friendly music like Magnatune, innumerable copyright holders have asked Apple to sell their work as open MP3s instead of DRM-locked AACs. Apple has always maintained that it’s DRM or nothing.
>>54398229
Not only did they delete it, they fucking stole it if it wasn't in their database.
Someone should disguise all their files as music and use Apple Music for free unlimited storage.
>>54392965
they accidentally turned on iTunes Match (which comes bundled with Apple Music) that does this exact thing (in fact, thats the entire point, they advertise it as this, so that normies can get higher quality tracks than the shitty 7 kbps mp3s they downloaded). i don't see how apple could have prevented this without just flat out not offering the service.
>>54398852
>i don't see how apple could have prevented this without just flat out not offering the service.
Perhaps a prompt before erasing files from someone's drive?
>>54398852
What about deleting WAV files and uploading them to Apple servers if Match doesn't find it in their database? You can't say they had some sort of excuse for uploading audio and deleting it.
>>54397960
You are completely wrong and I'm not sure where you get this idea. ZIP, like FLAC, is lossless compression. You will always get the same bits out as you put in, as long as the file didn't get corrupted at some point in the process.
>>54392811
>icucks actually thinking they own anything on their devices
I'm loving the meems today
>>54392811
The software did exactly what it was supposed to do, exactly what the user was told it was going to do. It's designed to remove the music from your device and store it in the cloud for you; so you have more space on your device - probably for music(?).
And he, a big-time music composer, had only one copy of everything - no backup.

It is. This is more intrusive though. Why anyone would support either of these companies is beyond me.

>>54394621
Damn, John Boehner has fallen so far.
>What Apple considers a “match” often isn’t. That rare, early version of Fountains of Wayne’s “I’ll Do The Driving,” labeled as such? Still had its same label, but was instead replaced by the later-released, more widely available version of the song. The piano demo of “Sister Jack” that I downloaded directly from Spoon’s website ten years ago? Replaced with the alternate, more common demo version of the song. What this means, then, is that Apple is engineering a future in which rare, or varying, mixes and versions of songs won’t exist unless Apple decides they do. Said alternate versions will be replaced by the most mainstream version, despite their original, at-one-time correct, titles, labels, and file contents.

If it makes Apple more money, then yes. What do you think makes Apple more profit... music industry giving out big bucks to delete un-paid mp3 files or people listening to mp3 files that they didn't pay for?

Wow, good thing i don't use anything Apple related. I download/rip my music to my hard drive and drag and drop, or copy it from my NAS to my phone in any fucking format I want. What's the excuse for anyone to use a fucking iPhone anymore? I've tried an iPhone 6s as a daily driver and I didn't feel any Apple magic like I did when I unboxed my first iPod. Switched so fucking quick and I'm glad I did. I can't imagine anyone on /g/ is butthurt about Apple.

So it deletes all apple users' music?
>>54404250
But it doesn't, unless you click the "delete download" button.
