UMikhal Marek Njengoba u-Apple athembisa ngomlomo ka-Eddy Cuo, naye wenza. Ngenkonzo ye-iTunes Match, umkhawulo wezingoma ezirekhodiwe unyusiwe usuka ezinkulungwaneni ezingama-25 ukuya kweziyinkulungwane eziyi-100. Umsebenzisi manje angathola izingoma eziphindwe kane kuneziningi ezivela eqoqweni lakhe ziye emafini, ezitholakala kuye kunoma iyiphi idivayisi nalapho angavele azisakaze khona.
U-Eddy Cue, inhloko yezinsizakalo ze-inthanethi zakwa-Apple, uthembise lokhu kwanda ngokuphathelene nohlelo lwe-iOS 9 futhi waveza nokuthi ukwanda kuzokwenzeka ngamaholide kaKhisimusi. Manje inkampani isifeza ngempela lesi sithembiso. Labo abaneqoqo elikhulu lomculo, lapho inkumbulo ehlanganisiwe ye-iPhone yabo ayanele, bangajabula ngokukhethekile. Nge-iTunes Match, akudingekile ukuthi izingoma zabo zigcinwe endaweni kudivayisi futhi zisakwazi ukufinyelela kuzo njalo.
I-iCloud Music Library, i.e. ilabhulali yomculo wamafu, iyingxenye ye-iTunes Match kanye nezinsiza ze-Apple Music. Uma ubhalisela i-Apple Music, ngentengo yemiqhele engaba ngu-160 uthola isevisi yokusakaza-bukhoma ephelele futhi ngesikhathi esifanayo isikhala emafini ngezingoma zakho eziyi-100. I-iTunes Match iyindlela eshibhile enikeza kuphela isitoreji samafu. Intengo ye-iTunes Match ihlala injalo ngisho nangemva kokwenyuka komkhawulo wenani lezingoma ezilayishiwe. Uzokhokha u-€000 ngonyaka ngayo, okuhumushela emiqhele engaphansi kwama-24,99 ngenyanga.
Ngakho-ke, uma ngikhokhela i-Apple Music, angisadingi ukukhokhela i-iTunes Match, futhi uma ukubhalisa kwami ku-iTM kuphela (ezinsukwini ezimbalwa), izingoma zami ku-iCloud Library zizogcinwa "njengezifanisiwe"? I.e. ukuthi abayisebenzisi i-DRM futhi abayi kusimo se-"Apple Music"?
Uma ngingaphosisi, akukanjena. Ziyizinsizakalo ezimbili ezihlukene, kanti i-Apple Music ingukusakazwa kwawo wonke umtapo wezincwadi wakwa-Apple, nakuba "isezingeni eliphansi". I-iTunes Match kufanele kube yilabhulali yayo esefwini, ngekhwalithi yayo noma ikhwalithi ehamba phambili ye-Apple.
Ingabe ngikuqonda kahle lokhu? Futhi ingabe kuzoba noshintsho kulokhu?
