They reached into my iPhone and put a shitty U2 album on it too. I felt raped and unclean.

Through the Apple Music subscription, which I had, Apple now deletes files from its users’ computers. When I signed up for Apple Music, iTunes evaluated my massive collection of Mp3s and WAV files, scanned Apple’s database for what it considered matches, then removed the original files from my internal hard drive. REMOVED them. Deleted. If Apple Music saw a file it didn’t recognize—which came up often, since I’m a freelance composer and have many music files that I created myself—it would then download it to Apple’s database, delete it from my hard drive, and serve it back to me when I wanted to listen, just like it would with my other music files it had deleted.

I read the Reddit thread on this and it sounds like bullshite or a bug, maybe a little of both. I have basically the same set up as this guy and all of my files on my HDD are intact.

Apple hasn't deleted any of my music, yet. If they do, I'm going to kill Steve jobs.
