It does remove songs, or at the very least disables some (you can toggle a setting to see disabled songs) presumably due to copyright/licensing issues. But worse, it sometimes _replaces_ a song with a different version, with no warning and no recourse

It's impossible to listen to some albums because of song replacement. You can try to do so, but when you click play on some albums it replaces several tracks with their single versions.

I noticed this last year with Dark Side of the Moon, although that's since been fixed.

For me this is one of the most compelling reasons to own non-DRM'd physical media: its content is no longer subject to the whims of corporate bullshit after the point of sale. Replacing songs within albums with other versions is appalling.
