ICloud Music Library is a part of Apple Music, so as such Apple is simply enforcing its new terms.

TMO's Dave Hamilton found a big hint in Apple's updated iTunes terms and conditions that said, 'You shall not be entitled to burn Apple Music Products.' In retrospect, the DRM layer Apple is adding to the music we own shouldn't have been a big surprise.

When you match and download files from iCloud Music Library (without having an iTunes Match subscription), however, you get files with DRM the same kind of files you get when you download files from Apple Music for offline listening. With iTunes Match, when you download a matched or uploaded file, you get either the iTunes Store matched copy, or the copy that iTunes uploaded of your original file. Kirk McElhearn offers up a great description saying, You didn't need to worry about maintaining subscriptions just to play the music you already own. In contrast, iTunes Match simply stored your copy of songs (assuming they aren't available through the iTunes Store) or gave you DRM-free versions from the iTunes Store. Translation: CDs you own and rip to your iTunes library will get copy protection added so if you stop using Apple Music you'll be locked out of your own songs.

That means all of your music stored in iCloud Music Library copy protected regardless of the source. The only fix so far is to restore your iTunes library from a backup and don't reenable iCloud Music Library.Īs if that isn't enough of a headache, music uploaded to iCloud Music Library gets wrapped with Apple's Fairplay DRM copy protection. Even worse, when I'd click to listen to certain songs, it would play the wrong song/artist, like the metadata was hijacked. All of the sudden it starts overwriting my album art with completely wrong art (example: Weezer showed art for a Radiohead album) on both my iMac AND my iPhone, screwing up metadata by putting random songs in albums where they didn't belong (there was a Cursive album where the first track was listed as a Foo Fighters song). It asked to turn on iCloud Music Library and I accepted. Got home and installed 10.10.4 and iTunes 12.2 on my iMac. Some forum posters are saying other metadata for their songs and albums has been scrambled, too, and multiple copies of songs are appearing in their libraries. Try to play Cream's Sunshine of Your Love, and you might hear Vertigo from U2 instead. The Who's Quadrophenia album art, for example, could be replaced with Billy Holliday's Lady Sings the Blues.

Apple's forums are full of comments from users saying their album art, song names, and album titles get jumbled.

ICloud Music Library's problems start showing up after installing iTunes 12.2 on your Mac or Windows PC. Thinking about trying iCloud Music Library? Don't. Instead of giving us a unified music library across all our devices, it's scrambling albums and tracks, and even adds DRM to songs you already own which will lock you out of albums you ripped from CD if you ever drop your Apple Music subscription.

ICloud Music Library was introduced with this week's iTunes 12.2 and Apple Music release, and it's turning out to be a big bag of hurt.
