I swore off Apple as a kid because when Apple music came out, half of my purchased iTunes library just dissapeared. I was so pissed

Keep your music in obscurely named .mp3 files inside even more obscurely named directories like god intended.
My mp3s are on a NAS now
probably what happened to me as well, i remember a large part of my itunes being gone. I switched to downloading and managing my library manually on musicbee and haven't stopped, even after switching to linux i still run musicbee through wine.
Given the horrible impact of spotify on the industry and the shady shit going on, i don't regret it, as much as i feel like a weird hermit sometimes for not using spotify or any other streaming service. Nobody can take my music away, and I can use it however i want.
