I've got odd and annoying music issue I've got odd and annoying music issue and if I'm honest I'm slightly miffed with Apple. I'm disabled so over the years I use my Mac Pros for absolutely everything in my life. Ever since the iTunes Store began in 2003 I've bought and downloaded all my albums onto my Mac Pro and then I back up everything on Time Machine and when I get a new Mac Pro after end of life I just Restore Time Machine etc.I never use iCloud as I dont trust it as Apple used to remove purchased content or so I heard at the time so I've got a 48TB SSD Storage for everything ie Music / Movies / TV Series and more... When iTunes Plus came out in 2007 I slowly replaced my whole music collection from 128 kbit/s to the higher-quality rate of 256 kbit/s. and as of today I have 6588 albums so I've spent a ton of money on music on the iTunes Store, at the time I truly thought I would have to replaced my whole music collection just once so thats why I did it, and I dont listing to music enough to warrant paying monthly for Apple Music. I'm 47 years old now and last night I tried to update a few Music Playlist on my iPad Pro by syncing it to my Mac Pro as usual only to find most of my music suddenly wouldn't play on my iPad Pro but it played on my Mac Pro. So I phoned Apple and they basically said I purchased the Albums years ago and since then the iTunes Store often replaces the IP Address thingy that allows the iPad to play the music even if the music is downloaded on the iPad or iPhone and I would have to rebuy every album i had in order for it to work on my iPad and iPhone. My question is I know its been 17 years since I re-purchased every album on iTunes Plus, but before I buy every album yet again, lets just say if I did rebuy every album ie my 6588 albums, whats to stop Apple doing this to me again in another few years? Because this is why I buy and download everything so Apple cant take my bought whatever away from me and since I've bought it its so unfair buying the same albums again just because they decided to change som IP Address on the iTunes store this totally unacceptable as when I buy Music or a movie etc. I expect to own it forever especially when I download it and back it up too? With this one issue if there's a chance of this happening to me again has had me considering "other methods" just to keep whats mine. Am I just very unlucky or will this happen to me again in the future as I'm not made of money?

Turn it off...

If turned on Sync Library on your Mac, PC, iPhone, or iPad, you can access your music library on any device that has the Apple Music app.
