discussion Apple Music Question?

[Bussea]

chile i’m slowly uploading my library to apple music, and one of the files i’m trying to upload is the original homophobic mix of Picture to Burn by Taylor but for some reason every time it finishes uploading to my apple music it switches to the edited version despite me being able to play the og version in itunes. is there a way i can stop this from happening because I have multiple alt mixes/explicts that i don’t want to get ****** up  i even changed the title, but it still switched it to the non gay edit

It switches on your phone but stays homophobic in iTunes on the Mac?

Yeah  it’s so weird. I uploaded it twice 

 

the original with the title unedited and it plays as the edited version on both but the second version with the edited title plays the original lyric on my computer but edited on my phone

That's really odd, never happened to me before. If you youtube to mp3 the homophobic version and change the title from there, it should upload as homophobic sksksks.

Try putting in your library with a different title? Like “Picture to Burn (Original Version)” or something, so that it won’t try to match it with Apple Music’s copy. 

 

I have a bunch of alternate recordings of Björk songs from her special box sets, and they all get replaced with the regular versions if I don’t retitle them. I think it’s just trying to be helpful but ☠️

I tried this and @Slayn’s method

 

I purposely left the youtube to mp3 version untagged to see if it’ll just upload without recognizing it, but it tagged automatically as the Clear Channel version and again the audio is of the edited version  I retitled it too and it still did the same thing

 

I uploaded the demos and it uploaded perfectly original files and all  i’m going to see what happens if i tag it as a demo and put it in a different album folder bc if this doesn’t work chile i’m hanging up the towel

i don't think you can. i tried the same thing. when you upload your own song files to apple music servers, it matches the audio to songs in their database so you can stream the version they have. it's matching this version up with the re-released version since they're identical besides one sentence. You'll have to edit the song in some way in a different software by editing the start out or editing the song in some way so that apple music doesn't match it to the re-released version

A mess. Taylor Nation is too strong.

Apple Music does this. It's trying to match the file in your library to an iTunes version, which will absolutely wreak havoc on your collection.

 

It happened to me, and I called Apple to complain and get my money back. It's an awful service.

Yup. I canceled the day I signed up and had the mad money back in my account two days later. I'll never go back.

This is weird. I just checked and AM did replace my Picture to Burn with the Gay Rights censored version, but they did NOT replace my ME! with the your kids failed English class edited version. It’s a witch hunt against homophobes I’m afraid. 

[UseYourIllusion2002]

I’m able to edit my library, even if it matches with the AM version. I think I turned in the iCloud music library?
