“Apple has engaged in several key transitions, from AIM to Intel, from Mac OS to OS X, but it seems the biggest challenge it has faced is seen in the migration from iTunes to Apple Music, with multiple reports claiming libraries of music have been destroyed,” Evans writes. “Here are some ways to address these problems.”
“Symptom [1]: You are using iTunes/Apple Music on Mac and iPhone,” Evans writes. “When you turn on iCloud Music Library on your Mac the metadata becomes confused (you might see incorrect album art, or play incorrect tracks). It is possible your library data has been corrupted – but repair is quite simple. Symptom [2]: You may have previously cancelled an iTunes Match subscription and now your music library shows incorrect artist, song and artwork details in iTunes Match or Apple Music.”
Evans writes, “These problems do not affect everybody (not at all), though it remains a little disappointing Apple’s cloud service transition is not without friction – that’s an ongoing challenge the company must resolve, given the importance of cloud service in future tech.”
