Jason Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 I have a friend who works for apple tech support. DO NOT download the new iTunes. It is "eating" people's music libraries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-GoBengals- Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 already did. everything is fine. if it were causing a problem on a large scale they would have pulled it, obviously, but if you dont have a backup of your stuff, lets be honest, thats on you. i typically wait on teh updates a few days to be safe rather than hassled... wonder what the common demoniator is on those who had issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean for $25/YEAR it backs up all of my (totally legally) downloaded music and makes it available streaming to every ios device i own, allowing me to have 90GB of music on my 16gb/64 gb devices streams fine on 3g data even.. they had originally said they would expand to movie libraries, however i think they realized the low percentage of purchased content being used with the service.

Yeah, I looked into iTunes Match after you mentioned it and signed up a few months ago. I have 2 iTunes libraries on 2 different systems totaling about 150 GB (I keep them synched with SuperSync), and can access them all on my iPhone. I use maybe 10 GB of space for music on my 64 GB iPhone 6. It is an awesome deal, though getting certain things to synch proves maddening at times...
