iTunes does not show any playlists and the only songs have a cloud icon next to them. This is only a small selection of songs I have, and some I have not bought
I think Apple are trying to encourage people to use the iCloud by putting some free songs there that they see in iTunes, but yesterday the playlists in mine just disappeared, and only these iCloud songs are there.
I have not backed up or sent anything to iCloud.
The original music files are in the Music/iTunes/iTunes Music directory in my hard drive.
How can I get iTunes to see these files again, or alternatively, how do I extract albums to another app? I guess I could use the last backup to do this.
Any ideas for an alternative to iTunes?
Apple messed up iPhoto for 2 or 3 years at least before recently releasing Photos, which seems to work well, but what about the intervening time? I'm not waiting 3 years to listen to my music again.
They've messed up video in the latest 10.10.3 upgrade. It's beginning to feel like a bad version of Windows. Will xxxxx work when I next switch on the computer?
