Well that website seems to be set up by an artist with exactly one song and if you click 'read more' you get a link to 'eternify' them. They have <2000 listens so I don't think it has made too much impact

Should do the real thing that will make them money (at least my money) and release albums on bandcamp.

I'm kind of clueless to the world of music streaming. I used Grooveshark for years and just recently switched. Is there anything besides Spotify that allows for more customization but still has a good music collection? I really hate how I can't change the view from thumbnails to just a list of artist names or album names. Seems like such a basic feature to have, amongst other complaints.

Regarding the way streaming platforms pay the artists; I'm pretty confused about Taylor Swift's crusades. She seems to be targeting the wrong part of the industry. It's clearly the labels that are loving over the majority of artists not the platforms. Or am I wrong?

You're not totally off base, but Taylor Swift's case is an anomaly when it comes to streaming. For starters, she writes all of her own music. No co-writer means no royalties to split. On top of that, not only is she one of, in not the biggest act around, she's by far the biggest act on her label. There's a lot of incentive there for both her and her label to keep each other happy. Her gripe has been with free and devalued streams. Spotify's "problem" is that they offer a free tier of service paid for by ads and It pays a fraction of the royalties earned through their subscription service. Spotify wouldn't pull her album from the free service so Taylor took her tunes and walked. She had a similar issue with Apple. Apple had planned to not pay ANYTHING for their first 3 months of operation, but that all changed in the past few days. From what I've seen as of late, though, Apple still plans to pay less per stream than Spotify. "But we're Apple and more people are on Apple so that equals bigger royalty pools!" Not sure why she's ok with that, but I'm sure a large advance was involved. The major labels have their hands and all of this mess and their bitching is a ploy to keep crying poor. (They all own stakes in Spotify, btw.  ) What streaming has really done is expose how many middlemen are in the industry. There's a dozen people between the listener and artist and each of these people get a cut before the artist sees a dime. (Or $0.00075.)

I haven't been able to find a concrete answer to how much Apple will pay per stream. Just that they are paying in total 71% of their revenue to rights holders (compared to Spotify's 70%) bigman.50grand posted:The major labels have their hands and all of this mess and their bitching is a ploy to keep crying poor.

AC/DC is putting up their albums on Spotify, Rdio, and Apple Music starting today. I don't think any of their stuff is up yet but we'll see how true it is. http://www.theverge.com/2015/6/29/8865187/ac-dc-streaming-spotify-rdio-apple-music Edit. It's true, the albums are up already.

Between this and The Chronic going up on Apple Music, there aren't many big name white whales left. The Beatles, who I imagine will be holdouts for years to come.

For what it's worth, the iOS version is very nice. Design's a little dire, but it's way easier to use than Spotify.

One thing that threw me off at the beginning is that, for some reason, in order to stream over cellular, you have to have "Automatic downloads" turned on in the "iTunes & App Store" section of Settings. Once I got that sorted out it was smooth sailing.

I have eclectic tastes in music and I'm enjoying the experience more than I thought I would. Still not sure if Apple Music will make me cancel my Spotify subscription. Got three months to make that decision though.

The only part that is maybe inferior to spotify is that you have to add music to your library before you can add it to a playlist (theres a shortcut to do both at once). But so far the library seamlessly mixed my files together with apple's streams i have saved and actually has a competent search feature so i dont anticipate this being that big of a problem.

I've been Spotify's loving bitch for years despite their UI fuckups....but iTunes Music is going pretty smoothly....went to For Me and hit the "romantic dinner" songs it made for me and Eddie Vedder's "Longing to Belong" was the first one that hit. I might be in love  And being able to expand your particular songs you already have on your iPhone into the full album in the cloud so seamlessly.. What does hitting the heart symbol on songs really do? It doesn't add it to your library, right? Kinda confusing. Looks like it doesn't do anything.

This might be kind of spergy of me, but the lack of native scrobbling in Apple Music is killing me, especially because all of the third-party scrobblers are just short of literally useless.
