Apple’s Music app (formerly itunes) is only playing half of the tracks of a recently downloaded album. It then inexplicably skips to (or through) the next songs similarly.
Is it possible this is an anti-piracy measure? Interestingly, the labelled source appears to be ‘web’ so I’m wondering if the app somehow detects that it’s an illicit source.
The problem does not occur in VLC or with other downloaded albums (although I recall something similar happening with Itunes many years ago on a different computer and/or OS so I can only assume the problem is not me and the actual file or app).
No, it’s just a bug. Apple Music likes to just kinda randomly fuck up and stop playing an album. Especially with streaming. Even legit Apple Music the streaming service will do this shit from time to time. It’s almost flawlessly on iPhone but sucks balls on Mac OS and Windows.
What?.. Premium is just like a tier, quality, aesthetic and exclusivity can be on premium tier perfectly, I don’t know what you want to say with that.
Apple users are ignorant and buys Apple products lied by marketing thinking they’re getting premium products, quality, aesthetic or exclusivity, whatever, but Apple tries to make them feel like a premium product while it’s basically trash and worse than a Windows.
That may have been true in the past but these days Windows is bloated trash and has been for a while. I jumped ship when I started getting ads on my lock screen.
You can remove that, if you are good with Windows you can clean up that pretty much. The problem with Apple is their UI bugged, stupid bugs and lack of decent UI like grid Windows and more features that just Windows has by default, and KDE has even much more. Pretty stupid to pay for an Apple.
Unfortunately we live in a timeline where both are true. Windows is bloated trash (that can be tweaked), Mac is a buggy mess with a lack of grid windows (which can also be tweaked).
I really don’t think anyone can generally say that one is better than the other anymore. It really comes down to the individual use case.

VLC to the rescue!
It’s funny because I only see stupid bugs on Apple and people still thinks it’s premium material. It’s buggy shit (bad UIX), expensive as shit.
It being premium doesn’t have anything to do with quality. It’s about aesthetic and exclusivity

So glad you all agreed that you should use Linux instead :)
Problem is, most people aren’t. Most people don’t even know about O&O ShutUp 10, and if they did, it wouldn’t work anymore
