    Default Apple Music/ iTunes/ streamer issues

    I have several thousand tracks in Apple Music / ITunes which have been ripped or downloaded over the years, unfortunately my Arcam streamer doesn’t recognise many of them. Is there anyway to convert them to a format that the Streamer will recognise?
    Regards
    Robin

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Default Grrrr!!!

    Infuriating that you have to sort it. Arcam or Apple or any body else's products ought to be designed better. If only the customer's best interests were served by kit being made with the capacity to transfer files from one system to another seamlessly.

    Apple are not really known for making things easy.

    Aye, as an Apple user I'm afraid I have to agree. Apple have also gradually taken control of apps and systems away from me, the user, so even though I still have four Mac devices in use, I won't be excluding Windows platforms from any replacement shortlist. As my 15 year old 40Gb Mac notebook is still in almost daily use I'm not quite sure when I'll be choosing a new computer.

    In addition to my MacBook Pro, I have an iPad and iPhone and they all have different music libraries, with 7,500 tracks on the laptop but the Arcam can’t see them all unfortunately.
