That sucks, I like some U2 songs but looks like Bono is a major share holder.

"Sadly you cannot totally purge the songs from your iTunes account."
(I thought auto updates did that :/)

Just noticed this and am chapped about it. Apple is really trying to lose this customer.

It's a song. If you don't like it, don't play it. Sheesh.

I was playing the album on my iPad in the kitchen while we were making dinner the other night and Mrs. Noah commented there wasn't a single one that she liked.

So, Apple is making some songs available for free, to everyone.
And this is a problem because..........................?

Loading 11 songs or 48 min of music I don't want onto my phone is not what I call "making something available for free." It's spam on a massive scale. To get rid of it, I have to go through a procedure that iTunes always makes into a pain in the ass. This is the last straw for Apple's keeping me.

Yet just another reason I refuse and will never support apple. Yeah android has issues but the phone and such are mine and I am free to what I want with them, be it good or bad.
George Orwell was right, and companies like Apple are just proving that point

I expect that from Google on every device. As long as they're not spamming me with memory-sucking BS I didn't ask for, don't want and is a pain to remove, I'll live with it. Apple can go find themselves a new customer.

While I agree that iTunes is difficult at times, but adding or removing music is pretty easy. Just click the check marks.

The U2 album only shows on my phone, not in my iTunes library when I log in on my laptop. It also tells me that all purchases have been downloaded. This is why I hate them. It's an hour to get anything done there.

And that is one reason I don't do anything on my phone that I care about.
