Hi
I just want to confirm something before I make the switch back to AM from Spotify. I originally tried the trial when it first came out but wasn't happy. My music kept getting deleted from my phone; when I opened my playlist at the gym, boom, no music...It happened a few times despite saving locally so I bailed and went back to Spotify. It's been a while now and I've got an apple watch as well so decided to give AM a try again.
I've got about 30gb of locally stored music on my computer. I remember doing the whole matching process last time and my understanding of this:
- Apple will match the music on my computer with high quality copies it has in its database
- When I listen to AM, the high quality songs will be played
Can I delete the locally stored files off my computer? It'll save a HUGE amount of space on my 250gb macbook air?
Will this mean I then lose whatever is in the cloud because it doesn't see the files on my computer anymore? I have a mix of CD rips as well as not-so legally downloaded music.
