    Fair enough if you asked.

    I can't think of a stupider thing that Apple could do - foist U2's latest collection of ballads upon us.

    Without permission.

    I'm fuming. Had to 'hide my music' to stop them appearing when I have my music on shuffle. Then, two wouldn't go, so I had to delete some proper music, to make room to download the two U2 songs for real, just so I could delete them properly.

    Bono can **** off. Disgusting.

    Funnily enough, my non-apple phone doesn't have this particular issue.

    I feel intruded upon.

    I can only think that the new bloke who took over from that Jobs bloke has thought "ooh, I need to make a name for myself somehow" and come up with this ****tard brainwave.

    It's just gonna piss off 90% of his customer base.

    My playlist is very personal, no one listens to it but me, and it gets changed as and when I feel like it by...me!

    So **** off dictating what new music ends up on there, and whether or not it's easy to get rid of once you've foisted it at us.

    It's a stupid, stupid thing to do and for the first time in 4 years of being an Apple customer, I'm massively ****ed off with them.

    I saw this on Twitter and thought someone had got the wrong end of stick.

    It seems a bizarre thing to do.

    I'm stunned by it.

    You pay your money for your cd albums and your mp3s, and you build your music collection accordingly.

    Then, Apple FORCE you to have the new U2 album and, not only that, make it really hard to get rid of the bastard.

    It's malware, or adware, or whatever you call it. I'm seriously not happy.

    I'm ranting, but I know full well in about 15 minutes, I'll be fast asleep.

    Apple bastards.

    Yep, used that and 'hid' the album, but found 2 songs wouldn't go. The solution being that I had to actually properly get them to then be able to get rid of them.

    Presumably all the tracks off this album will be 1-12 on the top 40 this weekend. Not 'cos anyone wanted them, but because they were forced to and it counts as a download.

    Die U2. Die.

    If you don't want to go to sleep, don't play the music! U2 has that affect on me too. When ITV used "beautiful day" as the theme to the championship programme, I could lose entire weekends.

    They should put a warning on if it can just come on shuffle. If it came on when someone was driving - just think of the consequence.

    My brother loves them - so had to spend years hearing how amazing they are. No. Just no.
