I edit metadata for Apple Music stuff all the time, so it is consistent with the other non-Apple Music stuff I have in my library. I also fix capitalization (this is more common in non-English songs, which inexplicably adopt English capitalization standards), the occasional error in old songs (by comparing to scans of physical copies), useless metadata on song/album titles (looking at you, “(2013 Remaster)”), and sometimes the year (for re-releases, I put in the original release year). Then of course sometimes Apple Music overrides my corrections because someone at a record label decided to change the metadata on some song, so I also have to keep track of it using a separate app (“Music Tracker”) that tracks changes to my library (which is also useful to know when something disappears from Apple Music).
I don’t expect normal people to do this, but for me the ability to edit metadata and mix streaming songs with ripped songs is a huge advantage of Apple Music over other streaming services. Unfortunately Apple Music has a lot of other issues, especially with syncing, and I still can’t understand why there’s no dedicated “featuring” metadata field (everyone pollutes the song title: Spotify solved this), but for me there’s no other possible alternative.
