Now anyone that looks there will see it, even if it has no place being there. Many people take pride in the collection of music they’ve built over the years, and adding an album they don’t want as Apple just did is akin to taking a record that someone hates and super-gluing it into their record collection. To begin with, not everyone loves U2 as much as Tim Cook does, so it’s understandable they don’t want their music automatically added to their libraries. So why is this such a big deal? Free music is great no matter what, right? On the surface any music you can legally get and not pay for seems like a great idea, but once you look below the surface you’ll see why some people aren’t happy with Apple or U2. Here, you’ll find a new entry tor U2, whether you want it or not. Open your music app or iTunes on the desktop and go to artists and scroll to the bottom. If you had your devices set to automatically download new music then you have a surprise waiting in your iPhone, iPad, or iTunes. Every iOS and iTunes user woke up yesterday with the new U2 album either in their music library or worse yet, automatically downloaded. As it turns out, Apple didn’t just give everyone the album, but they added U2’s latest music to everyone’s music library automatically.Īpple did this to achieve a world record for the largest album release of all time, but the stunt feels more big brother-ish than record-worthy. This free album was very, very different however. You get a card or code, enter it into iTunes, and your new music downloads. Most of us are familiar with getting free music and the process around it. Tim Cook told everyone that all iPhone owners were getting U2’s new album, Songs of Innocence, for free. Sure, there were some pretty big announcements at Apple’s big event on Tuesday, and we’re all excited about getting our hands on a bigger iPhone and the Apple Watch, but there was still “One More Thing” that came after the band U2 played to close out the show that doesn’t feel quite right.
