Use both Itunes and Apple Music on Windows
I use Itunes to manage a large local library. I also have a second Itunes library with no local files, which I had been using solely for Apple Music streaming, switching between them with shift-click on open. This is due to apple music and icloud sync previously having made a mess of my local library so I like to keep them entirely separated.
I find apple music interface within Itunes to be bad, and equally after trying it I found the local library management of the windows Apple Music app to be bad, ideally I would like to use Itunes for local, and Apple Music app for streaming.
But as soon as I install Apple Music, it disables any music playing ability that Itunes has, regardless of which library file I select, so I'm stuck having to use one or the other. Even if I move my library files elsewhere before installing Apple Music, it still wipes and disables it as soon as I open it with Itunes. I have to uninstall Apple Music to regain local music playback functionality in Itunes, and even after that it left my libraries empty so had to restore the library files.
Is there a way to use both? This seems like an arbitrary setting being applied by Apple Music, there is no reason not to allow local music playback when there are separate libraries with no conflict.
