The biggest problem I've found with iCloud Music Library is the way tags get arbitrarily changed. I don't use the cloud with my personal music library; I have a second library on my MacBook for iCloud Music Library, plus my iPads use it (my iPhone doesn't; I sync to that).

Hi Kirk.  Just listened to the Next Track #77.I have had the same issue with iCloud corrupting my music especially my playlist.  i spent 3 hours with Apple support trying to correct the duplicate playlists and duplicate files from the cloud.  I ended up missing entire albums, no the songs were moved to different albums.  Tech support said it was because Apple did not have rights to those albums, even though I own the cd.  Thanks to #77 and this forum, I will not use iCloud Music Library , but will use  Apple music.  My library is just over 12,000 songs and a pain keep reinstalling.  Again thanks to your book, I have a copy on my MacBook Pro that is untouched by iCloud.

I agree, total BS. I signed up for Apple Music trial period and will leave iCloud turned off. Thanks to The Next Track.

If you have the original files then you can create a new Library and import them into it.

But you'd have to redo any playlists.

That is what I had to do. Thanks
