But what _really_ broke my music-listening back was Apple, in their "infinite" wisdom have been rating songs for me they think I'd like in my library (grey stars). As far as I can tell, there is no way for me to distinguish between my stars and the stars Apple adds, which means my playlist of songs that I've rated has now been ruined by Apple's "recommendation."
edit And, I want to be absolutely clear here - there are songs I'VE uploaded into Apple Music using iTunes music match sync whatever. Apple thinks they can tell me more about my music library, that I've purchased and cultivated over all these years, then I can.
For anyone interested, I am using: Very large NAS to store my music. Tagging music using Musicbrainz Picard. Multiple Kodi (formerly XBMC) front ends, all sharing the same music and video library via mysql.
