Apple Stole My Music. No Seriously.

[Atman]

82. Not at all.

I have lots of albums from which I only play three of four songs. I have them selected in iTunes. When I sync my phone, it doesn't include the songs which I don't play -- songs which a deliberately deselected, but which still exist in my iTunes library. Most remain on my hd. Songs which were purchased via iTune (a very small minority) may get uploaded to iCloud if I don't have them selected in an active playlist. It doesn't mean they aren't there. They appear in grey on my iPhone playlist, with a little iCloud icon next to them. They're still my tunes in my playlist.

Okay, does it suck if I suddenly want to listen to one of these de-listed tunes while I'm snowboarding? While I'm someplace without wifi? Maybe not "sucks," but it would be better if I didn't have to use data to send my own music back to my phone, but this is a very rare occurrence. After all, these are tunes which I've already un-checked in iTunes.

I really just don't see the problem hear. ALL of my music is still available, it still shows up on iTunes, but some of it that I don't regularly listen to is linked via iCloud instead of taking up space on my phone. No one has "taken" your music.
