Library Albums

Hi,


I'm a new user of Apple Music. I notice that Apple Music automatically adds music or albums of certain artists to my Library. I only wish to listen to Music stored in my own library, either in the Cloud or from my PC's hard drive. I did remove the check mark in options from updating info automatically (which is another frustrating subject as I like the original LP covers of an Album, and Apple Music forces it's own cover). But unchecking that option doesn't seem to help with adding music automatically. I just want more control over my music library. Thanks,


Mike

It seems like you're problem is the iCloud music library.


Apple automatically uploads music to the cloud at the store-bought quality and replaces the album art.


I've had some trouble with this feature myself because sometimes there are identical versions of the same song on iTunes.

Since I use my iCloud library, I just decided to delete my ripped CD files in place of the store-bought versions.


You can turn off the iCloud music library by navigating to Edit / Preferences / General and right below the library name box should be the iCloud music library option.


Hope this helped. :-)
