You guys do realize that it is Thanksgiving Weekend here in the U.S.A. And that most White Collar Workers who work @ places like Cupertino, CA, U.S.A. (Apple Head Quarters) have Thanksgiving Day (Thursday), Black Friday, Saturday and Sunday off as part of a 4 Day Weekend while enjoying Turkey, Stuffing, Sweet Potatoes, and Gravy with their Extended Familes as part of this 4 day U.S.A. National Holiday! Just FYI!

I think most people know. They just said end of November, and the days are running out quick!

Hmm strange, I have never had that issue. :/

I wonder if it is account related because I have this issue crop up intermittently on all my computer (1 Windows 7 Laptop, 1 Windows 7 Desktop, and 1 MacBook Pro). It's pretty wide-spread though:

How bizarre, iTunes Match has worked perfectly for me from day 1. My Apple account is relatively old.

It's worked fine for me on iOS, Windows, and Mac except for this intermittent problem where it asks me to re-login in iTunes. All the solutions purposed by folks in that threat I linked to don't work...or seem to work for about a week and then the issue comes up again. The fact that it happens for me on all my machines leads me to believe it is something related to my account on Apple's end. Hopefully they fix it soon.

I bought iTunes match but never used it. It didn't recognize 90% of my music even tho it was available in the iTunes store and was relatively mainstream.

I had that problem, encoded all my music into AAC and now iTunes recognises about 90% rather than 10%.

But that degrades the quality of the music. I have most of my music in FLAC so I could probably reconvert it to AAC without any loss. That's too much work tho. lol :)

It was a lot of work, but you can easily keep your FLAC files and just use the converted AAC files for iTunes Match :)

I had no intents to trash my FLAC. :rofl: I'm saying it's too much work to convert them because it takes up too much time, and store 3 copies of my music in FLAC, AAC, and MP3. Besides, my subscription ends in two months and I'm not renewing. :)

Try Flac-Mp3 Converter (www.flac-mp3.org) very fast. Use it all the time. :)

I think right now I'm more interested in the unknown. Sure, it is going to play music with a different interface...but what else? So far that's all we've seen right?

It would be interesting if they overhauled the iOS syncing that has been integrated in iTunes since inception of the iPhone. I would be really happy if Apple were to divorce all the functionality of iTunes into separate apps. iTMS, Media (Music/Video) Player, iOS Sync Tool are all kind of distinctively different things IMO.

It all seems OK to us because we've seen the progression of the iPod into the iPhone. The iPod syncing with the media playing and managing software made sense.

When I tell my step mother that she manages her new cell phone from the media player software that seemed really bizarre to her (but she just accepts it like the rest of us and moves on). It just...always has been that way with these particular things. So yeah, I hope Apple does something bold with that.

I don't think that would work too well. On the other hand, I would like to see them combine the iTunes and App store on iOS. Call it the iStore.

One application to purchase and sync things and one application to playback media files. Now that would be sweet.

    • You are mostly right about the ephemeral nature of it. As I mention in the article, if you dont add a second device or take a backup of your account before uninstalling it, then yes you will lose access to your account. That said, in terms of actual user experience when you sync multiple devices your message history carries across and there's also a Saved Messages chat like there is on Telegram to send messages and attachments between your installs. But yh, what you point out are correct and its not trying to emulate Messenger or Telegram.
    • OK so SearXNG is a meta search engine that you can install locally or use via a public instance. It scrapes other search engines which you choose and then sorts the results. Not as complicated as multiple relays
    • The only difference here is that you think you came up with these reasons. You didn't. These age old fearmongering lies (that were NEVER true) were funded by and the anger stoked by Putin through proxies like Farage (and later in the USA, Trump) and filtered down through the skinheads, Neonazis, etc. until it reached the uninformed, ignorant, and gullible -- never realizing they were being played for fools against their own best interests. Even now, despite all of the EVIDENCE proving that Brexit was a terrible mistake for ALL citizens of the UK and that its supporters were tricked by Putin's proxies into sabotaging their own nation, you're still here defending these well-known lies as if they were ever true. Not only are they not true. They NEVER were. So, when are you going to realize that you were lied to and actually get angry at the liars and charlatans who lied to you, instead of blaming the innocent people they lied to you about?
