Apple Music First Impressions

    Ooops I was wrong. Apple Music has all of the New Order albums. I didn't realize you had to tap the tiny arrow to display the artist's entire album list. I've looked around and Apple beats Spotify for content. I'd be willing to bet they will eventually get The Beatles.

    I love it.
    I used to have a Spotify account with a Polish PayPal account because they're not available in Romania and Polish Spotify was the cheapest in Europe.

    Now, Apple Music is directly available at the same price, and it's actually nicer. Take my money now

    So, if you have a Polish Paypal account or a card issued by a Polish bank, you can attach it to you Apple ID and pay AM subscription price set for Poland.

    Do I understand it correctly? Won't there be any problems using Apple Music if you actually are in a different country?

  • Tried it this morning. Kept crashing on me while selecting music. Other than that don't see any great differences to spotify yet.

  • Well I signed up for the first (free) three months. I've never used any streaming services, so I don't have anything to compare it to.
    I'm curious to see what it's all about, also I got an email from Apple saying that my Apple music profile was live, so I was keen to check it out - makes a change from all those endless invoices for apps from Apple !

  • @Igneous1 You are going to love streaming! I held off from streaming until a friend talked me into getting Spotify last summer. You'll have over a million songs and infinite playlists at your fingertips. :-)

  • Remember if you don't wish to continue using it and pay after the 90 days is up, you might want to go to settings and turn off the tick box for auto renew.

  • So icloud, i was expecting something like this, i will keep my spotify account until the fix this.

    New services often have terrible problems. When I first tried Google Music, it messed up gapless playback. There's ... uh ... nothing quite like listening to Sgt Pepper or Dark Side of the Moon with a nice multi-second gap between each track.

    They don't have Substance, argh.

    Also it pegs my 5s's CPU for some reason and drains the battery like a mofo.

  • Siri integration is really the only "unique value proposition" I'm seeing in Apple Music right now (for me). That's pretty nice, though. Being able to just tell Siri what to play is pretty magical. Once you get the hang of saying "play the song ..." or just "play some ..." etc, it works pretty well. If Siri could do that with Spotify, I'd probably stay there. But it can't, and something tells me Apple will resist that big time, even if they open up other Siri integrations.

    I will admit that having all of Peter Gabriel's discography is a nice bonus, but I can fill that gap with local copies. I always search for PG when checking out streaming services and it sounds like I'm not alone!

    All of them fail the King Crimson test, though. THANKS FRIPP.

  • Don't know anyone who has Yellow Magic Orchestra for streaming either. And Switched-On Bach isn't even for sale digitally.

    I think it's less intuitive than Spotify. Since I use iTunes Match it's pretty messy now having Apple Music mixed in with that. Also, I assumed that the music selection would be unbeatable, but there are actually songs missing on Apple Music that I can get on Spotify.

    Complete Peter Gabriel? Including German?

  • I haven't any problems with iTunes Match for all the years I've had it. It's worked flawless for me and I use it everyday. Right now the only problem I have with Apple Music is that sometimes it takes a long time to load a song.

  • @Diode108 said:

    Nope, not the German releases. Those aren't on any streaming service that I'm aware of.

    Hmm. Makes me think I'll always need to have Amazon or something to hold those oddball items.

  • Home Sharing gone in iTunes update.

    The iTunes update also disables home sharing so you can no longer keep your library on one Mac and stream it locally over WifI in the house. The only way to stream at home is by paying for Apple Music now. This really sucks as people with large libraries, many of which are not available digitally, like myself, have to buy both Apple Music and iCloud. just to stream music I already own and can stream at home now. At least Airplay still works, buts its push from the source so its a lot more cumbersome that home sharing was.

  • @BigDawgsByte iTunes Match is only $25 a year. You can access all of your rare music from all of your iDevces. I've been using it for years with no problems.

  • I have giving Apple Music a few day now for testing.
    And, now it's time for my opinion...

    I'm not delighted at all!
    The apps is slow, the songs not starting play as fast as Spotify.
    I don't understand the "thinking" in the Music app...
    So so disappointed!!!

    And, Apple is seven years late on this...
    I will stick with Spotify, because they deliver the right feeling in streaming, and, Spotify is fast & good looking on every platform!

    Apple, you have to make Apple Music better if you should stay...

  • I have a few albums on Apple music, and they give us artist a kind on news feed where we can publish texts, photos, videos, sound... Wow, like if we havn't got our own web site. It feels very "last decade" technology. Can't imagine using it much instead of the usual YouTube, Instagram, Twitter and the rest...

  • I'm not as harsh as you guys but I've had problems with it freezing and crashing. Other than that I like. It will get fixed with updates.

  • On the whole, I'm digging it. I found it a bit slow, but I presumed that was my slow internet connection.
    Not sure about the artist page side of things, how that will develop. Still, over 10 weeks left to really delve into it !

    I updated my sister's Air 1 and had problems with Apple Music. I was showing her how to add a song to a playlist and it froze the app. It's interesting to note her router is 6 years old and is wireless B. She has trouble streaming to her smart TV.

    On the other hand I made a playlist for the holiday and downloaded most of the 81 tracks to my iPhone. I used it on a 4 hour drive to and back home for a total of 8 hr and it worked flawlessly. Even streamed a few songs from cell towers.

    I'm really enjoying Apple Music, and it's pretty exciting to think I'll have this for free for the next 3 months. It's going to be hard to part with it, but as much as I love music, I've managed to make due with the free version of Spotify plus my own music collection and the other free music apps. Apple Music has advantages such as the Siri integration (which is actually pretty freakin' cool).

    If you make an album available "offline", can you just store it on your phone in perpetuity? The music industry just baffles me. They complained for years about piracy (even going so far as to sue individual downloaders) as if it was wrecking the industry. But the "solution" to that problem was ultimately to give all consumers either free or significantly undervalued access to far more content than pirates ever realistically had from 1998 to 2005. I've never paid a cent to Spotify. If I want to listen to some indie rock album from 2005, I can now do that on my phone on Spotify for FREE, so long as I'm okay to listening to the songs out of order. At best, I pay $9.99 per month as a tithe to the music industry (via Premium subscription), which, by the way, is half of what a single album cost in 1991. So, either the music industry was gouging the HELL out of consumers for years, or this current economic model is not at all sustainable. I suspect a little of both. Rant over.

    Anyway, the service seems pretty solid to me - the framework for it was basically already in place (the iTunes Store) well before these other services even existed. Loading some songs seemed a bit slow, but nothing too alarming for a new service. Albums continued to play with the screen off and the app in background mode. I've always found it a bit difficult to locate how much music is being stored by the Music app in memory, but you can locate and delete content from the "General -> Usage" page where you delete apps. I like it a lot.

    I just went to the Apple site to read up about this as I don't know much about it, and their movie of the bloke playing the piano froze my PC so I had to power off. Cool.

  • I'm in! Hopefully Apple will pay more to musicians as opposed to those rip off merchants Spotify who will never get a penny from me. My morality aside, Apple Music is fun to use. Impressive. I'm not a lover of other people's playlists so I'm enjoying creating my super playlists. All my favourite artists and albums all in one place! Now that's one hell of a summer feeling.

  • Will musicians get more per play from Apple than from Spotify?

  • The way it works is you pay Apple $9.99 a month for unlimited access to millions of songs, music videos, musician news with video, human made playlists based on you tastes, and Beats 1 24/7 global radio station. Apple pays the artist a royalty each time one of their songs is played. It much higher than Spotify premium. That's why you can listen to Peter Gabriel on Apple Music and not Spotify.

  • You can also download songs to your device. The reason why you do that is because you might be in areas without WIFI or a cellular connection. I drove 4 hours each way to my sister's for the holiday and there are areas along the highway that have spotty internet coverage. So I downloaded my music ahead of time and it was smooth sailing. @StormJH1 you can only listen to the downloaded music as long as you have a subscription and the artist still gets paid every time you play it.

  • Just upgraded my iPhone to 8.4 and signed up for the 3 month trial. I haven't spent enough time with it to formulate much of an opinion, but I was pleasantly surprised to find the Strawbs released a new album in 2014 (quite nice, if you're into that sound.) I suspect that these types of finds will keep it interesting for me....if I have enough time to use it.
