Intro
Ever wonder where your music gets stored whether you’re subscribed to iTunes match or apple music? If you’re subscribed to iTunes match, it will attempt to match all the songs you currently own with songs available on the iTunes Store, the rest are uploaded to your iCloud music library the original songs stay where they are. The same goes for Apple Music except for the songs you own are matched with songs in the Apple Music library, the only caveat with having just Apple music once you download those songs which you add to your library a little thing called DRM(digital rights management) is added so you don’t willy-nilly run off and use the songs. To differentiate between the two I’m going to show you how to create smart playlists for iTunes match and Apple music respectively.
