When some of us read the first complaint of a user who said that Apple Music there was erased his entire music library, We miss each other. In addition, some claimed that Apple intended to remove DRM-free music to change it for its own with protection, something we knew from the beginning that it would not be the case. Apple has also been surprised, so much so that, upon learning, it has tried to reproduce the bug without success.
The good news is that Tim Cook and company have already confirmed two things: the first is that yes, that «an extremely small number»Of Apple Music users have seen their files get deleted from their computers without permission. The second thing they have confirmed, and this is the good thing (the first not, of course), is that at the beginning of next week will release a new version of iTunes «which will include extra security measures«, Which should ensure that the problem that has become so famous in recent days should no longer affect more people.
ITunes update will prevent deletion of Apple Music files
Apple contacted Jim Dalrymple of The Loop and explained that, up to that point, only one user had posted a story about how Apple Music had deleted files from a computer without your consent. Those of us who have been using Apple products and software for a long time think that what had happened could not have happened if human error had not entered the scene, but Apple has already confirmed that it knows this first problem and others that also assure that what has happened to them has happened. same.
The problem is that in Cupertino have not been able to reproduce the bug, so the update that they will release next week can only include those extra security measures to prevent this from happening again. I have two questions left: the first is what will happen in cases where a user has lost files without DRM and has no backup. Will Apple let you download those songs for free from iTunes? The second is simpler: will they be able to avoid future deletions with the new version of iTunes?
