Touchdown! Greaser!
So, I have successfully wrested away all my music back from NoTunes. Huge job, great joy.
I noticed during the summer that all my music on the ipad and iphone had shrunk from 300 to less than 90 without request (or error) on my part. Each device had much less than before but not all the same music was missing. Same on the laptop; noTunes music had mostly vanished even though I had not opened the noTunes (non-)app in months. I had not added, bought, borrowed, removed or messed with the music in any w/s/f (way, shape or form). I don't keep it in the cloud.
Aha, but I am wise to noTunes, over the years I have been jacked by them similarly so I had occasionally made a backup folder and dropped songs in there as time passed. So I had multiple folders containing 95% of my music. Took a while to compile, sort, remove duplicates, name them the way I like them. They are in one folder on my desktop, mostly mp3s, m4as.
Yes I made a backup of the final file on a separate device.
Now I need to erase all music from my devices and reinstall from the master folder on my laptop.
How would you proceed?
1. Continue with noTunes or use another app (which can share across devices, not monkey with the file or song format, not 'misplace' them, etc)?
