marc32137 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 So I've been using Apple Music on my phone for about 30 minutes and it's fantastic. The app will take some getting used to, but adding albums to my library and making songs available offline is super easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkPoppen Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I've been an Rdio subscriber for years. Even when Spotify entered the market in Canada, I didn't switch. I don't have any reason to. The same with Apple Music. Unless they do something significantly different and awesome, I don't have a reason to switch. Someone mentioned The Beatles. Since The Beatles are under Apple's label, they're probably streaming them on Apple Music, but that's not a reason for me to switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAXXX Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 What didn't you like about it? I love spotify exactly my thoughts. have it on 7 devices, the selection is gigantic, and it can't get much easier to use. the only alternative i've found that competes is streaming my master music collection from my home server. however, i haven't found an app that provides a similar user experience in that regard. with apple music, for me it all comes down to whether they can compete with spotify on selection.

Eliminator Jr. Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 So I can't start the free three months trial because there's not enough money on my iTunes account. What the fuck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you not keep a credit card on file? That might be the reason. Eliminator Jr. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyShackelford Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I'm loving this so far. I've only got to play around with it just a little bit though. I really love how when you save an album it puts it directly with the rest of your music. Having it all in one place will be great. I tried to search for some random off the wall stuff and it was all there. I can definitely see myself bailing on Spotify Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eliminator Jr. Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 That's dumb. Do you not keep a credit card on file? That might be the reason. Yeah that was the problem. Added my info, checking it out now. Looks pretty awesome to me. First thing I'm listening to that's not on spotify: Sun Kil Moon's Ghosts of the Great Highway. Sweet.

dvv Posted June 30, 2015 Author Share Posted June 30, 2015 do I need to have iTunes Match for this to work? I keep enabling my iCloud to go on but it keeps giving me some kind of error that it can't be enabled "You can enable it later from Music in Settings. Until then your music wont be available on your other devices" or some bullshit like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoy it a lot. My only gripe is that I'll have to buy a new phone if I want to use it on mobile. My iPhone 4 doesn't receive updates since two years or so. New mewithoutYou is on there too. Nice.

dvv Posted June 30, 2015 Author Share Posted June 30, 2015 ok so after a few minutes it started working finally, my guess is the cloud servers are messing up so its not letting people connect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marc32137 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Yeah, they're getting slammed at the moment. I just read something saying if you're getting that error, just keep re-enabling it until it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smwalsh6 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 User interface on this is pretty damn slick. Finding some stuff that wasn't on Spotify. Definitely going to use the three month trial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhulud Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Sooooo...can you listen and enioy Apple Music Beats 1 via iTunes on my desktop or do I have to wait til the 12.2 upgrade rolls out for iTunes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc32137 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Sooooo...can you listen and enioy Apple Music Beats 1 via iTunes on my desktop or do I have to wait til the 12.2 upgrade rolls out for iTunes? I can't find it on mine, so I'm assuming it's only available after the update. And I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who still can't update iTunes.

jhulud Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Yeah. When you click on Beats 1 in the iTunes Store to presumably listen and whatnot, you get this error pop-up: And when you click on "Upgrade", you get taken to Apple's webpage where it says that ITunes 2.2 is coming soon: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAXXX Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 i still haven't been able to get apple music on my computer. i believe there is a delay with the iTunes 12.2 update. works on my phone tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc32137 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I found a way to listen to Beats 1 in 12.1. While in Music, click on "Radio" in the top center. And where it says "My Stations", click the + next to it and search Beats 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abovetheearth Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I still use it at work, so my harsh sentiment towards spotify wasn't all that serious. I ditched it because I purchased the 5 bucks a month subscription about two years ago and when they dropped that subscription mode (there's only free or 10$ a month since) I wasn't able to use mobile devices ad-free anymore. I felt it was pretty rude and unjustified to just change things up without telling the customers. I didn't feel like giving in to their methods so I cancelled my subscription. I'm currently on $5 mode with spotify. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
