After you choose your genres, once artists appear you can press and hold the ones you don't like. Also at the bottom, if you click on More Artists the ones showing go away and new ones appear. On artists you really like you tap them twice and they appear bigger in your chosen artists. I am really liking this For You section of the app!
Currently listening to the Beats 1 Ambient 1 channel with sound checks and all, hoping it goes live in a few before this puts me to sleep! Want to hear the launch.
...Ugh, sorry for my too short description.
Looks I am still a lucky user, since I am in Australia now, at least my ID is.
Beats 1 listening.
Yep, although I forgot what that album was, when it was playing.
The only drawback is: this eats up countless data. So I cannot keep it on on my phone, unless I am wealthy enough to pay overused data.
When listening to the radio stations, is there any limit to how many times you can skip a song?
Aerosmith is in my breakfast nook? NOOK CAM, NOOK CAM, PARTY TIME, EXCELLENT!
I don't think so if you pay for iTunes Match or Apple Music.
But spoiler alert because someone is going to ask this: You cannot skip songs on Beats 1. It's live radio.
Well I have it for my iPhone 6plus but not seeing the latest iTunes in Software Update on my Mac yet.
Cheers,
I was googling wrong because I was looking specifically regarding iTunes Match. I guess the 100,000 track boost was to distract users from the fact they were losing the radio bonus.
Less?
Prince is on Spotify and not on Apple Music. And he is not alone.
(In my books Prince is something over Taylor Swift)
Spotify users already have the app installed. Also many teleoprators include free spotify with their mobile plans.
Yes, less. Spotify has 6 artists less than Apple, at a minimum.
A lot of Spotify users have to bounce between the native app and Spotify app if they listen to one of those missing artists, now they don't have to. As for teleoperators, that's nothing much in the grand scheme of things. I know quite a people that get Spotify as part of their mobile plan, but don't even use it, and signed up to Apple Music.
Artist exclusives are the spec wars of the streaming world. The difference is academic to everyone who isn't a fan of said artist's work. And like many other's have said, fans will already have that person's work in their purchased library, nullifying the exclusivity benefit for the service holding it.
Besides, exclusivity against Apple in this case is probably not a good thing. Just like game exclusives to a particular platform/console only hurts the developer.
I can’t wait for the iOS 9.0! This can really make me devoted to Apple for the great entertaining music available on iTunes for years. It is a good way of extending its world domination as the best provider of online music. I hope the planned increase in the current 25,000-track limit for iTunes takes effect soon.
