Playlists messed up, not being able to save radio stations, your own uploaded music gets DRM baked in when re-downloading etc. I wonder if apple fixed these bugs already.
Has the experience changed since like half a year ago?

Not too sure what you mean by messed up playlists and I can save stations fine so if that was a bug it seems OK now.

I'm pretty sure if you DON'T pay for iTunes Match then your uploaded music gets converted to DRM Apple Music files then added to your library - I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong here though. That isn't a bug though surely? That's the service.

No thats retarded. Theft even. Songs you own then suddenly gets drm protected and you cannot use them elsewhere anymore.
Can you also tell me how i can save radio stations?

Not fixed. Spent the last few weeks going back and forth with support trying to get my playlists back and they just can't make it happen.

All Apple Music files are DRM'd. That's the nature of a streaming service that lets you keep offline files. If you want to own tracks you need to turn on and pay to iTunes Match. That'll maintain your "ownership" rights. As for radio stations, they are saved and synced among your account's devices by default. No action is required from you.

I don't think that's entirely true. IF you get those songs from Apple Music they will have DRM but you should still be able to re-download them from 'Purchased' without DRM. It's only the AM files that have DRM on them. I see your point, however, but I think there are ways of getting the original non-DRM files you've purchased.

You cannot save stations like you could in the past. Only recently listened to stations are available.
