Do you actually know what Swifts "tantrum" was about? Then again it might not matter because you're straight up advocating piracy.

I love convenience, it got me.) That being reality, "taking the ball and going home" isn't a great tactic when your ball is freely available in thousands of places. (*) It's worth noting the only reason we've shifted to $10/mo for all you can consume music vs. $18.99 a disc as standard is because of the piracy scare circa 2000.

If it's not a great tactic why has it worked a hundred percent? When she left Spotify she became the only artist to go platinum that year, and when she did the same with Apple Music she got them to pay artists during the trial. In that one she even straight up said she didn't need the money but there were artists who aren't as well off as her. So if you aren't with her on that one you're a loving rear end in a top hat. But it doesn't matter because she won.

My impression is based off an interview I read with Spotify employees with regards to expanding into Korean music, but in some cases it very well may be complicated and overpriced. If we're talking about Asian music my impression is it should be available, whereas European music would be more expensive.

You called me a "whiny bitch" but you're whining about someone advocating piracy. There are plenty of bands, who don't consist of mega-hyper-popular teenage girls, who actively advocate piracy as long as it increases their exposure. You should try going to a local show in your city and buying a t-shirt of a touring band, it'll help a lot more than the pennies they get from your militant advocacy of streaming. The realm of music changes when you expand your horizons beyond whatever Tim Cook and Dr Dre think you should be listening to. Bass Bottles posted:Taylor always wins.

I'm trying to save tracks that I like off of Beats 1 and Apple Music using the Add to My Music feature, but it never actually shows up on the My Music tab. No error messages or anything. I assume this is a bug or iCloud getting crushed, but I can't rule out that I'm just missing something really, really obvious. This is on iTunes by the way - the app on my iPad seems to be working correctly.

So I got a recommendation in For You for an Introduction to Kaela Kimora playlist. Okay, let's check it out. So, one song actually available. What? Also something I don't understand is how it handles metadata when adding songs to my music. For example:  I added an Acidman album I didn't have to my music collection. I went back to look at it, but all of the shown metadata for the songs was romanized. Now that's weird, because when I looked at the profile for the album in Apple Music, it was in actual Japanese. Now if you open the files up and look at the meta data, you can see the romanized name of the song, and under it the "reading" of said title, which is the actual title of the song as listed on the album. The artists field is kinda weird too, considering that it gives a Hiragana reading of "Acidman". It also only does this for band/person names and songs; albums remain in Japanese. It has done this for every album I've added to my collection, and I don't know why. Now, I can edit those files and fix the metadata myself to see the actual Japanese, but I have to do that for every song. So unless I missed a setting or something for how it handles language data, this is just lame.

Just FYI there was iCloud issues most of the day, so if you're saving tracks and they're not showing up under My Music, or anything else iCloudy, it's possible it was a temporary issue. I haven't been able to turn off Find my iPhone all day due to iCloud issues, even now, despite all the services being green: https://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/

I really wish there was a web interface for streaming music. My iphone gets super lovely reception in my office, and I'm not allowed to install iTunes on my laptop. Looks like I'll be sticking with Google Music unless Verizon decides to put a tower on my building.

After a day of fooling around with this, I'm still leaning towards Spotify. The main reason being that Spotify has a more social element. Spotify let's me follow my friends and see what they are listening to, it let's me see their playlists and follow them as they update them. It let's me find other people's playlists (which are sometimes awesome). Apple has none of that right now which is a huge turn off. They have NO Social elements at all, which is bizarre to me because this is Apple and you would think "Social" would be the buzzword when developing a new music app.

One of my friend's in particular is always screenshotting me Spotify tracks and telling me to listen, I keep reminding him to send it via Spotify: easy. I had another friend whip up a playlist of recommendations for me: super simple and effective. Apple already tried social music and it loving sucked and they gave up on it.

If there's one thing this thread has taught me, it's that a lot of you listen to lovely music and then bag on the Taylor Swift listeners  and justify your hatred of Apple Music because, uh, vapid something something.

Apple's music social network (Ping?) failed because they tried to build their own FaceBook clone. Spotify's social features succeed because they just integrated with FaceBook. If Apple wants @Connect to succeed they should take a note from Spotify and integrate it with Twitter. Go where the people are already.

I find my list is pretty well curated for music and agreed that live beats 1 has some changing to do before I would consider listening for very long.

Would love that added here. Endless Mike posted:My phone is not big enough to hold my entire library (nor is my laptop, for that matter, unless I have nothing else on it, most likely). This isn't really a good solution for many people. Probably most. I understand my use case is likely different than many people here, but I keep my library pretty trim (a few hundred tracks I guess) because I will eventually delete songs that I'm constantly skipping. This is why I love streaming services because I don't have to buy individual songs that I might get tired of months down the road. But I did use iTunes radio at the gym tonight and didn't skip any songs because it was so good. That never happens when I use Pandora.

This is a great service and all, but I will be goddamned if I can figure out how to share my family plan with someone else. I signed up for the family plan on my phone, but when I add my girlfriend to my shared family account, and then she tries to login to Apple Music on her phone, it tells her to start a trial. How the gently caress do I share the subscription with her?
