I updated music app and podcast app on my iPhone 5. Poscast app is they added a setting to delete podcast after watching it. the default setting was YES or ON or whatever to do it. it deleted all my podcast episodes. ALL OF THEM. everything I had saved. I had hundreds of music podcast episodes saved and they got deleted !!!

I changed that dam setting to say no hell no do NOT delete music episodes until i say delete it but it was too late - all the music was gone. 

so i figured i'd go get them again. i went to add old episodes and they were gone from the list. no way to go get them back. gone forever.

I think APPLE did this on pirpose because music podcast being free cutting into they profits. 

APPLE SUCKS. that makes me want to not buy any more music from iTunes ever again
