With Apple Music subscription, how does it handle my own tracks I upload? Can I delete them after uploading?
I have had a subscription to Apple Music for a long time. Recently, maybe after the latest OS update, the way it handled tracks I had uploaded has changed.
Apple Music did not have all of the albums I owned by some artists, so I uploaded those long ago. I then deleted the local copies and relied on the uploaded ones. That has worked fine for a long time until just recently. Now it says it can't find any of those local copies and won't play on my desktop, but some play on my iPhone and others do not. Strange.
If I "locate" and go back and point it to the locations, one by one, this seems to solve it.
So just clarifying, do I have to maintain my local copy after uploading? If Apple Music on my iPhone is playing it from the cloud, why does it need my local copy to work correctly now?
Thank you.
