One of the things that really grates on my nerves about Apple Music is it’s poor (but improving) matching algorithm. Nothing irks me more than listening to an album that I purchased decades ago, only to have a favorite track that has “matched” but with a live version, a remastered version or one from another artist altogether.
Worse yet is the propensity for tracks to just disappear from Apple Music altogether. I suspect this is mostly due to publisher preference but may have geographic copyright concerns.
To add to the pain is the inability to override the matching algorithm by forcing tracks into an upload only state.
So my question reflects tracks that you own that have Matched. What happens to them when,say, the publisher pulls them from Apple Music? If you haven’t downloaded them are they then lost to you forever?
if that’s the case, then Apple REALLY needs to add an option to override matching. I don’t really care about the ability to have an enhanced bitrate version and all my tracks are already DRM free of course.
