Taken on a weekend?  Even if people were working weekends, this isn't going to be ready for staff this year.

Quite a feet...

I commented, long before Apple Music came along, that iTunes was doing this, randomly, to a small number of my music files.
Reported it to Apple, too, but, as now it involves a pay service, now they are finally taking it seriously...

"As some have pointed out, however, iTunes' song matching mechanism does not remove local files without user authorization."
Brilliant...yes, well, if it weren't receiving authorization, that's exactly why it'd be a problem, wouldn't it.

Hopefully, Apple will release it early enough for Samsung to copy in time for the holidays...

You folks give the general public far too much credit for making intelligent product choices
(think VHS vs Betamax etc., etc., etc.),
and at the same time, you give Samsung far too little credit for their ability to appeal to that lower "common denominator"
(think...well, everything they make and do).
The first thing I thought the first time I saw an ad for Samsung Pay was, that they'd perfectly gauged 
how to make it seem simple and universally appealing to people who, unlike almost all of you,
simply don't grasp the technical reasons why Pay is superior and secure
(think, the vast majority of humans with cards).
Apple hasn't done that good a job explaining that to suburbia, however well you more sophisticated
urbanites may think it's penetrating - merchants don't get it, customers don't get it - and there is fertile ground
for even Samsung to succeed, as they often do, by appealing to a larger percentage of "dimwits" (too harsh?).
