I have the opposite experience. I have a heap of MP3s and flacs and those live on some hard drives.
Apple Music was like “wanna twy?” And I was like “aite sure”. I love having lossless of basically everything when I’m not at home, and iOS doesn’t touch my at-home collection.
I guess the problem is buying DRM music. I never trusted any of that.

That is super fucked and I’m so sorry that happened.
Replacing for clean versions though, that’s hilarious. Like WHY?!
I’m not blaming you AT ALL because software should never fuck with your music irreparably. I’m just paranoid something is going to go wrong with my collection I’ve curated for 15+ years, I keep it backed up on multiple drives now.
…after I had a HDD die.
I do love Apple Music though. It’s super cheap for having lossless shit everywhere, and I’m not a shill I PROMISE I USE LINUX ALSO AND UNFORTUNATELY PREDOMINATELY WINDOWS 10 AAAAAAAAAA
That's like the number one rule of software design: preserve user data at all cost!
Music purchased from the iTunes Store is DRM free though. I think they actually upgraded purchases made prior to this change to DRM free versions (called iTunes Plus or something).
That’s fair, but the only music I’d ever purchase are flac files I just can have, outside of an ecosystem of any sort. And I say this as an iOS lover!
