I’ve been testing Apple Music recently and I discovered that it still supports uploading local files to iCloud Music Library. The interface of Music app is indeed somewhat atrocious, but look:
Update Dec 7, 2022: Apple scrapped the plan of CSAM-scanning iCloud Photos libraries. My wife is pretty tech-savvy. While not a software engineer and not a computer scientist, she has a good understanding of computing technologies, statistics, formal methods, and an intuitive (but quickly growing) grasp of machine learning.
To some, Apple’s yesterday keynote wasn’t all that impressive. After all, the new iPhone 7 doesn’t look all that new, the new Apple Watch looks exactly like the old one, and minor improvements aside (water resistance, GPS for the watch, new processors), there wasn’t really anything impressive shown in San Francisco last night.
