iTunes

I'm not certain what he's talking about but I'm guessing he means copy/paste of files directly from computer to ipod. I don't think it was really meant as anything more than a declaration of his dislike for Apple in case anybody here wasn't aware of it.

Oh right. I thought maybe he was implying something about DRM.

ME dislike Apple ? No what would give you that idea.

The bad news. How to delete them from your "icloud". Good question. I think you can't. But again, maybe you can call them and find out. They won't technically be on your phone but I think they will always show up as purchases that will never go away. I have a bunch like that too. I have stuff I never even purchased that shows up there. Not sure how that happened but it's annoying.

No way to delete things you want deleted. Is this another Apple "feature"

Any other computer to delete something you just delete it.

Yes. It's a feature.

From my reading today, it looks like I will need iTunes Match at $25/yr to be able to delete songs. Without match, I don't have a physical copy of the song. The song is in the cloud and I access it from there. Match downloads a real copy of the song. This explains why I was only able to physically download 13 of the 62 songs she has in her(my) store. I may just buy the iTunes match for one year to clean it all up and upgrade all my many many GB of music to legit, quality copies.

Right. Plus if you accidentally had any pirated music mixed in, it would take care of all that too. You'd be all legit n stuff. And $25 is not bad.

Yup. Including album art and a better quality file. No questions, no catch.

But again, I haven't actually done this myself yet. I will soon though. But I've heard nothing but good things about doing this. I think even some people here at FaR have done it.

According to this 2+ year old article, Google Music does something similar to iTunes Match. But it's free. Anyone know anything about this or tried it?
