This week, a major music streaming service was accused of deleting music files from a subscriber's computer. Which streaming service was it?

Blogger James Pinkstone accused Apple of deleting some music from his hard drive when he registered for Apple Music.

REMOVED them. Deleted.”

It was Apple Music.

First, The Rock recorded many of the alarm sounds himself (he actually pretends to be an alarm clock).
