Here's a question...... I have a few songs I ripped long ago that have a better sound quality and louder sound than what Apple or even Spotify has for their copy. What I would like to do is delete those AM tracks in the cloud, add them to my iTunes library, then have them uploaded to the iCML so they are available to my iPhone.

Will Apple try to match them and replace them with their version? What's the best way to do this?
 
I was all set to just keep pushing through the bugs on AM, because I was really liking the suggestions and the nice attempt at iTunes integration. Then suddenly a bunch of my albums started giving me a "looks like this isn't available anymore" message when trying to play them on my phone or iPad.

I'll keep my eye on the future of AM, but for now, I've re-subscribed to Google Play All Access. I really do love it, but Apple Music's suggestions and For You section really are much better than anything Google has on board.
 
Handy poll about keeping your Apple Music subscription or not available here.

I can't believe the Android app and 100k limit are not ready. Surely they realise that if they wait too long and free trials run out, it will be extremely difficult to convince people to pay the monthly fee to do a paid trial and check whether their libraries get borked, phones bricked, music disappears the second 4G is not available etc. I have 19 days left on my subscription. Hurry up, Apple, but REALLY.
