Apple Music-Uploaded Content

[Mad4WDW]

Hi,

So I got to thinking after I saw that Taylor Swift wasnt making her album available on Apple Music initially. What happens in the scenario where you buy an album because its not available then it becomes available later. What happens with the "Love" "Dislike" play count etc on tracks that are uploaded but then get added to Apple Music content later? Is that info linked to the "official" tracks even though you have a version you uploaded yourself. And also when you stream your uploaded content will the artist get paid for you streaming your uploaded content after it becomes available, so in other words they get paid twice?

TIA

As long as you keep the original bought/iTunes download's or CD ripped files in iTunes (don't delete and then stream or download) all metadata will/should remain. Only the iDevices would receive the new matched version (unless iTunes keeps your upload) and would/should sync metadata from iTunes.

Also since you have bought the CD or iTunes download the artist won't receive streaming rights.
