lrt: what i don't get is, why do you need either? you should be able to download your music & have it count towards their own chart at the very least. you can't tell me most AM users don't download songs on their phones. anyway, best to be safe, but i wish they were transparent.
i found some more info on this, but to clarify we should still be super safe. the person who asked the question then asked for clarification about playing from a purchased file vs a AM file, which seems to be the main issue we need to worry about. not the cloud or the +
but please don't rt this thread, i just want to share this with oomfs as it's been bothering me

my takeaway is that the only thing we need to worry about is deleting the file if we bought it so that we are playing from an AM file. offline streams are most likely counted else there would barely be an AM chart - most ppl download music to their devices.
but i will delete this thread cos i don't wanna fk anything up
