here’s hoping you don’t mind Apple applying its DRM to your musical choices:

“
Previously when [Senior Macworld Contributor Kirk McElhearn] would rip an album and add it to his iTunes library, the service would search through the iTunes database, match the songs, and save them for access on all devices. If he needed to save one of the files, he’d get a hassle-free, DRM-free download.

iCloud Music Library, included with an Apple Music subscription, serves the same purpose except when it comes time to download anything you find your files locked up with DRM – yes, the files you put there in the first place from the CD you possess

Apple's law department probably advised them to perform this action. Since the copyrighted material is being stored on an Apple server, and such servers can probably be hacked, it makes sense to protect the content from theft, using encryption. Taylor Swift is sleeping better tonight, as a result of Apple's prophylactic behavior.

I don't gotta love Apple and anything. Most especially Guru Steve's walled garden!
