Why is music organization so complicated and cumbersome with Apple Music?
I can go to a record store (even today) and it's easy to find what I'm looking for despite the thousands of albums and artists I've never heard of. Despite dozens of genres I've never explored.
And yet, when I try to find the music that I've purchased and stored in Apple Music, it couldn't be more frustrating and confusing.
I spend an extraordinary amount of time trying to undue the destructive imports that Apple Music does - finding and re-filing and re-labeling. Sometimes re-importing.
Is there a way to rip and store my music outside of the Apple Music app - a non-destructive alternative to importing the music the way it was packaged and sold -- and then just letting Apple Music see it and play it?
