Yesterday, I discovered that I was missing some of the music that I had purchased a while back from the iTunes store. I looked everywhere for it – on external hard drives, iPods, you name it. Turns out that I obviously had missed it out when backing up. But iTunes doesn’t offer any re-download service which to me, seems ridiculous. I’ve lost music that I’ve paid for, you can re-rip a CD that you’ve purchased from a store, what’s the difference? Yes, there could be legal issue’s but I have some right to re-download the music that I have the paid license for, to listen to.
It just annoys me that Apple, (the biggest online store and music seller in the US) is stopping us from re-downloading music and listening to it. Yes, I can agree that it’s partly my fault for not correctly backing it up. But I should be able to get it from iTunes Store again?
What are your thoughts on this? Here’s a youtube video I made to watch.
