> But then they decided wihtout asking or consulting, that ALL my songs were illegal and deleted them from all music playlists. So iTunes deleted your ripped songs from playlists but not the songs themselves from your music library? So if you recreated the playlists from those songs, they would work? The latest version of the Apple's Music app (formerly called iTunes, and not to be confused with the Apple Music streaming service) included with macOS Sonoma still lets you rip songs from CD if you have an external CD/DVD/Blu-ray drive connected to your Mac. I've done that for decades and still do when I buy the occasional CD. If Apple had determined that was 'illegal' then that functionality would have removed from the app. It also would have been a widely reported problem and garnered Apple press coverage, but that never occurred. Be careful not to attribute malice to that which can be explained by neglect, ignorance or incompetence. In your case, perhaps a bug in iTunes or some other kind of glitch. I've never had iTunes or the Music app delete any music I've ripped from CD, not from my library nor from any playlists.
