What a fukking piece of shyt. :snoop:

I now can't use it on my new phone, cause apparently you can deauthorize only 4 devices per year, and I've reached a limit of 10 devices linked to the account.

Any way to fix this? :snoop:

Try teaching out to customer support. They might reset the device limit for you.

:yeshrug: might wanna make that switch.

I assume most folks on The Arcadium use the free, standard version of Google Play Music (The Apple equivalent is iTunes Match) & aren't paying for the All-Acess subscription.

Has Apple said what they gonna do with iTunes Match?

Just saw this article:








What Apple Music means for iTunes Match

How does Apple Music stack up against the competition?

BY RAYMOND WONG 6/9/15

The announcement of Apple Music, Apple's new streaming music service that'll cost $9.99/month for access to over 30 million songs, didn't go off without a hitch at its Worldwide Developers Conference on Monday.

With Apple's senior vice president of Internet Software and Services Eddy Cue inadvertently displaying a bug in the Siri-based side of the service and doing dad dances, while executive Jimmy Iovine declaring how much music algorithms suck (Apple Music will have "music experts" who will help curate and create playlists), there were still a lot of unanswered questions left on stage.

For instance, what's the deal if you're an iTunes Match subscriber? Should you ditch it for Apple Music or not?

iTunes Match, for those who don't know, is Apple's $24.99-a-year service which allows you to store all of your music in iCloud; songs bought from iTunes are "matched" with a downloadable copy and songs from elsewhere (legally, illegally, or ripped from CDs) are are uploaded to iCloud.

Essentially, iTunes Match gives you a way to download your entire collection of music from any iOS device, Mac, PC or Apple TV. Apple Music is a streaming music service, but it has iTunes Match's features built in with streaming capabilities for matched songs.

From Apple's Apple Music FAQ website:

With an Apple Music membership, your entire library lives in iCloud. We compare every track in your collection to the Apple Music library to see if we have a copy. If we do, you can automatically listen to it straight from the cloud. If you have music that’s not in our catalog, we upload those songs from iTunes on your Mac or PC. It’s all in iCloud, so it won’t take up any space on your devices.

The caveat is that you won't be able to stream songs from your iTunes library that aren'tmatched from Apple Music. Those will only be accessible as downloads.

For example, Apple Music won't let you stream any music from The Beatles. If you have any Beatles tracks in your iTunes library, you'll have to upload them to iCloud and then download them for regular offline listening in the Apple Music app.

The same goes for any bands and songs not available through Apple Music streaming. On the bright side, at least Apple Music lets you stream all the Taylor Swift you want!

So if you're an iTunes Match subscriber and you're planning on becoming an Apple Music subscriber, you can cancel your iTunes Match subscription on June 30 when the streaming service goes live — since all of your non-iTunes-purchased songs will be uploaded to iCloud anyway.

If you're you're not interested in Apple Music and its streaming functions, and want to stick with just storing songs in iCloud and downloading them for local listening, iTunes Match will still be around.

As Apple's website states:
Does Apple Music work with iTunes Match? Yes. Apple Music and iTunes Match are independent but complementary.

Other confusing Apple Music details have also been cleared up since the WWDC keynote, including offline listening. Apple has confirmed to Re/code that "...you can create the perfect playlist from anything you've added. You can save it for offline listening and take it on the road."

Offline listening is an exclusive feature for paid Apple Music subscribers; users who sign in to Apple Music with their Apple ID, and don't cough up the $10 monthly fee, will only have access to the Beats 1 global radio station and Apple Music radio stations with six skips between tracks.
