should've used FLAC

Text also mentions WAV so presumably it's pretty much any audio format

Apple is a pompous, worthless, domineering company that always wants their shitty closed system forced on everything.
Just to think that they made an ad protesting herd mentality during their formative years.

These Sheeple deserve what they get.

...

hahahahahahhahahaha apple cucks

>checks my drive
>66gb itunes library folder still 66gb
woooow, it was nothing. probably just a setting she accidently enabled.

They got sued for this when Steve was alive.

Do you subscribe to Apple Music? Or do you just buy what you want to listen to? Or do you ignore the store entirely?

>deleting all mp3 files
Doing God's work.

>still using deprecated mp3 instead of aac or opus in 2016 for lossy files

Apple cunt. Choke yourself of Tim Cook's faggot dick.

It deletes AAC too

Legit stuff doesn't get deleted

Author fucked up somehow

This tbhf am

>streaming music from anywhere but your homeserver
That's pretty disgusting and Apple is only showing the cucked fags who the daddy is. Nothing wrong with that.

I am subscribed to Apple Music, I use the service to find songs I like, then I go download the MP3s and replace the apple music for the ones I downloaded myself.

Keep your gay thoughts to yourself, OP.

It's a good thing for software to include an option to automatically delete personal files.

>using Apple Music instead of Spotify or GPM

But they talked to an Apple customer service rep who confirmed it and even said they didn't subscribe to apple music for that reason. So basically Apple's own employess don't even like it.

You've only been on the internet sense 2006 haven't you?

Doesn't happen automatically.

>streaming music
ayy

You can just download over wifi

>WAV
Why people do this?

>Using iTunes
Fully deserved

FLAC is compressed
I want true bit perfect quality

>what is lossless compression?

Holy shit, this stuff is actually happening.

For what fucking reason?

If it's lossless it's not compressed

Idiot

>using apple services

>lossless
>compression
god Sup Forums is shit these days
please return to Reddit you idiot

>"Apple is the best for making music dudes!"
>"Check out these high quality sounds I've made!"
>Apple does this
>macfags btfo

I don't even know what to say.

It's not fucking compressed if it's store losslessly. It just "is" it.

DAMN IT APPLE YOU CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS!!

You're just pretending right?

I've figured out what to say.

You are WRONG.

Not falling for it.

So Apple is now distributing ransomware. Somehow that's not surprising.

no, ransomware leaves your files fully intact

if flac (as a lossless format) isn't compressed, explain this

Calling bullshit.

All my shit's still here. And I've got Apple dick about as far up my ass as it can go.

>using a gooey to convert files

casual

My time isn't worthless.

>that shit taste in music

i downloaded this for a demonstration

>it takes him a long time to type simple commands

Future House is life fám. And my life is pretty shit so it kinda fits tbqh

>not paying a monthly fee to use the best™ music production software to ever come out

pls no user...

not this, anything but this...

>through the Apple Music subscription, which I had, Apple now deletes files from its users’ computers
>iTunes evaluated my massive collection of Mp3s and WAV files,

>Apple Music subscription, which I had

>using iTunes


He got what he deserved.

You need to enable "icloud music libraery" or whatever the fuck if you want them to delete your files, I think.

Everyone who uses apple anything knows full well that their services for anything "official" is a messy piece of shit that is best left alone.
Then they go mixing shit like the one related on the article? They are asking for it, that person only read the mandatory disclaimer AFTER getting bum invaded, which I bet it wasn't even read by the person but rather pointed out by a tier two support upon threatening to sue apple.

Also, not having backups of your own fucking music and saving the only originals to itunes library. Natural selection at its best.

Posted from my iPhone 6.

I didn't bother to read the thread, but I'm guessing some Apple cuck is going to defend this.

LMAO you cucks.

Who the fuck is stupid enough to use iCloud™?

If that is what's happening than that's pretty fucked.

Wrong again pissbaby.

He did have backups which you'd have known if you had read more than the subject line in the OP

>actively searching for Apple threads on a chinese weaving tutorials forum just to post shit
You're more cucked than cucks who use Apple Music, user.

What is he even bitching about then? It's probably some shitty feature to save space.

Full retard then, I suggest having a look at something like the zip file format and then try to re-evaluate your "knowledge" about lossless compression

>What is he even bitching about then?

The fact that a service he pays for is preventing him from keeping his own recordings on his own computer?

Deleting itunes is one of the first things to do after an OSX install anyway,

>article written by a freelance composer who "saves WAV files of my own compositions rather than Mp3s. WAV files have about ten times the number of samples, so they just sound better"
I'm not inclined to take this at face value at all. There's probably some setting to "free up space after uploading" in Apple Music that's off by default and this retard turned it on without knowing what it was and is now angry and using the internet as a platform for his story where he conveniently leaves out his stupid shit.
If this were a real thing, why does everyone here with the service report that their music is all fine?

You are getting trolled hard

This

>what is RLE
>what is dictonary based compression

Disregard the fact that it's right on the front page so I didn't even have to search for it and disregard the fact that I don't care enough to even read it, yeah I came here to laugh at Apple cucks, I don't see how that makes a cuck but have it your way, nigger.

>implying not all Applefags are cucks
>implying Applefags own their products

I'm OP's article is referring to a user fault in one of the settings.

so... it is compressed...

That setting says "apple music songs and playlists" though, this guy had shit that wasn't in his itunes library removed.

>trusting american companies with your data
OPPA

I hope they get their asses sued off.

>If you’re wondering why Apple hasn’t been sued yet, it’s because the iTunes Terms of Use vaguely warn of this issue, then later indemnify Apple and preclude any litigation from users who’ve been boned:

>“iCloud Music Library is turned on automatically when you set up your Apple Music Subscription…When your Apple Music Subscription term ends, you will lose access to any songs stored in your iCloud Music Library.


>Apple’s Terms of Use, Abridged.
>…YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE APPLE MUSIC SERVICE IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK.


How can be anyone so stupid to enable this shit? Muh fucking sides xDDDDD

No he didn't. He had shit that he hadn't bought on itunes, but had still imported into his library

If he chooses to use the feature that does it, it's not related to the service. Other cucks who use Apple Music had no problems.

At least inform yourself before making shit claims. As bad as it is you only have your music there if you either press acceptlol on everything without reading or you actively put it there.
You can have selected content only transfered to itunes or none at all.
By far am I defending this piece of shit that baffles me how it still exists, just pointing out that for this to happen as it did just shows that you do not know what you are doing and shouldn't even be doing it to begin with.
Because you know, consequences will never be the same.

>zipping files is now considered a lossy storage format

>download over wifi
>over wifi
fucking normie level cringe, do u even into basic networking?

dear god, you fucking millennial outcasts applel cucks, pls leave Sup Forums, this is a technology board, not a "im getting fucking in the ass cause i dont know any better, but i still like it anyways even if i did"

iCloud Music Library works this way: It checks your Library for songs in iTunes Music Store, if songs matches it puts it in a checklist, everything else gets uploaded (there are size and duration limits but it's the original file). You can decide to keep the download locally or to delete it locally but use the iCloud Library to Stream it. If you don't choose to delete it locally there's literally no problem.
I have a huge amount of remixes that's not on Apple Music and those files are still on my SSD as well.

Also, to delete album artwork see pic related.

So, let me get this straight.

He turned on cloud sync and as part of the sync it moved the files onto iCloud and deleted the local copies. And that's it?

Damn this is some quality click-bait, I'll give it that.

Can you do that? I deleted iPhotos one time and it fucked up my OS for weeks before I finally restored it.

This explains it actually. Thanks fám.

Yes, uploaded his music and deleted the local files, obvious clickbait is obvious. Only uninformed apple haters on Sup Forums get fooled.

...

It doesn't say it's going to delete them on local disk

That's not even implied

It would be frustrating, but he deserved it for using propriatary services.

In fact, this is a good thing for freedom loving individuals.
The more companies like Microsoft and Apple overstep the boundries, the more likely people are to turn to computing freedom.

>deleted the local copies
In some cases, transcoded and deleted the original files.

That's significantly more shitty.

Kek. This is real ? I can't believe it.

>Kek

When it this going to be on autoban?

>i didn't read the article lol XD

but itunes cant play flac, so its propably fine

It doesn't delete them automatically, satan. You have to click on "Delete Download" for that to happen.

baited

he's fishing in empty waters user.

We've already got all the bait we could take here.

Not too uncommon for people using itunes to just convert flac into alac if they want to keep using lossless.

Just after "meme" getting b& as well.

Yes. Compressed doesn't mean lossy. When you zip up your folders of gay furry porn and then unzip them the pictures don't look worse, do they? When you zip a program and then unzip it, it still works, doesn't it?
