Transferring to Apple Music from local files
I’ve got 5,000+ songs across dozens of meticulously organised playlists with “iTunes Match / iCloud music library”. I quite fancy moving to Apple Music subscription, but when I used the trial my current 5,000 songs stayed exactly the same and ONLY new songs had the extra metadata (lyrics etc) and available in lossless.
Personally I don’t see the point of this as I’m not gaining any benefit for my exisiting library beyond iCloud music library (Ie 256kbps AAC).
Yes I could go through one by one and delete my local file, and then search for that one in Apple Music, and then add it to all the same playlists….no thanks. I don’t have that much time to throw at this.
Surely there must be a better way?? Currently it’s easier to switch to Spotify…
