uh. the hysteria over Apple "adding DRM to your music" is unfounded. it adds it if you "upload" that music up to their Apple Music cloud for streaming.<p>iTunes Match matched tracks still have no DRM.
I'll check it out. I switched to Mac/iTunes at the same time as the author and I lost interest in iTunes at the time they introduced iTunes Match. Also I now use an Android phone so I had to figure that bit out already. I have a large music collection that I rsync'd to linux and I have a copy in windows. Foobar2000 and Clementine are more enjoyable for me as players. I buy all of my digital music from Amazon or eMusic so that's not an issue.<p>I'll give Swinsian a try; it seems like a good replacement.
How is the Apple Music DRMing of your own music not randomware?<p>"We encrypted your files. We won't ever give your real files back. Pay us or you can't use them anymore."
I replaced iTunes with a CLI program called cmus <a href="https://cmus.github.io/" rel="nofollow">https://cmus.github.io/</a>
