Apple Music Automatically Changes Song Versions

Hello,

Has anyone else experienced Apple Music randomly changing versions of songs you have? I have CDs loaded on my iTunes since 2007 and have been able to transfer them from countless iPods and iPhones, but ever since I've subscribed to Apple Music, certain songs disappear or change.


For example, these I own as a CD and have them loaded and synced on iTunes:

ABBA Gold Greatest Hits (1992) - the version of Waterloo was replaced with the Swedish version

Billy Joel The Hits (2010) - Say Goodbye to Hollywood (Live) was replaced with a studio version from Songs in the Attic

Cat Stevens Greatest Hits (1975) is greyed out and said the music is not available in my region

The Beach Boys Made in USA (1986) - California Dreamin' was replaced with California Saga (California)

Queen Greatest Hits (1981) - replaced with the Bohemian Rhapsody soundtrack (2018)


How do I stop Apple Music from replacing my music? I have done both reloading the CDs onto my Mac again and deleting the switched version from my library and downloading the correct one, but it's annoying to have to do so.

Hello TheGreatGame_221B,


Thank you for posting in Apple Support communities. We understand that you are experiencing issues with Apple Music changing the song version of a CD that has been previously downloaded. We would love to help you with this. 


This issue could be caused by the license agreements that Apple Music has with some of the content already downloaded in iTunes. You can delete the version and add it again since you now have Apple Music.
