Of course. With Apple, everything is obvious when you have consumed the appropriate mind-bending drugs. :)
Well, with iCloud Match or Apple Music Library, I was thinking that since one feature is to show you an online library, you could take advantage of Home Sharing when you’re home, but iCloud when away or when you need to download some tracks. Of course, syncing is a pain, and of course the cloud is where Apple wants you to go. And hey, if you have the bandwidth, and if you make changes infrequently enough that you won’t notice the synchronisation, why not? I’d prefer not to have to depend on Apple for that, but I’ll concede that they’ve got me here; it’s hard to deny the convenience of having access, magically, to all my stuff even when iTunes isn’t running. Even if, honestly, I’d prefer Apple make a media server available whereby iOS could download and not just stream, and preferably where iTunes did not have to be running, and better yet that it work on commodity hardware, this is still a workable compromise. I don’t need bespoke music streaming though. Only Match. Match is billed annually. If I wanted streaming, it’s Apple Music, and I wouldn’t get Match too because I always keep my music in my primary library without DRM. If you want to stream the latest mind-numbing tripe without actually having to buy it, though, you’ll want Apple Music. :) HTH. -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
