There has been lot of discussion about problems with DRM and other pretty technical (though undoubtedly legitimate) issues that make my head spin. However, I'd like to share the issues with Apple music that drive me crazy.
1. Incorrect cover art or weird and unappealing versions of "correct" cover art (my collection is littered with these)
2. Single albums broken into multiple album cover icons with the songs divided between the multiple covers (so dang infuriating).
3. Duplicate songs (i.e., an album that has two of each song). I suspect this is because these are albums I own and also added to my previous "Beats Music" library so I could listen on other devices prior to Match and Apple Music.
I have read countless articles on how to correct cover art, but this is a battle that I just cannot seem to win. I've given up.
Is there a way I can address 2 and 3?
Operationally, but mostly visually, my music collection is a hot mess. I hate opening up My Music and seeing all these incorrect and duplicate album covers. As with all my other beautiful Apple hardware and services, I want my music collection to look perfect.
I don't see how these issues will ever be fixed. If I wasn't so deeply invested in the Apple ecosystem, I'd bail out. But that ship has sailed. I absolutely love all my other Apple hardware and services (iMac, iPhone, iPad, Watch, TV, etc.), but my music collection is pushing my OCD over the edge!
Thanks for allowing me to vent!
