Apple is apparently investigating a bug in iTunes Match where music having explicit lyrics are being replaced with “clean” versions from the iTunes Store.
The guys over at Cult of Mac posted about the bug saying:
iTunes Match had successfully filtered out all the profane and derogatory words by changing the tracks to clean versions of the albums, which pretty much ruined my jog because I was really really wanting to sing along and drop 50 “F-bombs” a minute. Maybe this is just a rare glitch in iTunes Match’s system, but it’s a travesty tantamount to treason in my eyes and I want it fixed.
While the guys at 9to5 Mac said that Apple has acknowledged the problem but is yet to find a fix.
A 9to5 reader emailed Apple Senior Vice President of Internet Software and Services about the issue a couple of weeks ago and received a response from one of Eddy Cue’s engineers. According to the engineer, Apple is currently investigating the issue and working on a fix. Apple has no interim workaround for users of the iTunes Match service, the email elaborated.
Unfortch iTunes Match is only available in the U.S right now. Still, a really funny bug heh. When I lived in the Middle East, the fm stations played censored versions of popular music, and even cassettes had the tracks censored, and I thought it was hilarious. No more Rap, eh?
