Apple Announces 'Apple Music' With 'Beats 1' Live Radio Station, Launches June 30 for $9.99/Month

Does the music app have Offline playlist mode?

This needs to be answered...can you only stream music, or can you download music for when there is no internet connection, like spotify premium.

 

[TsMkLg068426]

Yes, please help me.
They happily announced the price but never told me what I get for it?
Pharell tweets?
Can I pick any song I want at any time?
Can I skip over stuff I don't like.
Is the entire iTunes library included?

Save your curated playlist for bullet points at the end and tell me what it really is.

Is iTunes Match going away?

$10 for Radio? I think Tidal just fell off their chairs laughing.

No iTunes Match will be part of the Apple Music service.

... but does it stream music?

They really glossed over that fact. The "streaming" service was really lost in all the fluff. I'll have to actually get into it and use the service.

 

[borgqueenx]

can we use this to stream music from itunes's database?

"Apple Music and iTunes Match are independent but complementary."

now on the Apple website...

As painful as jimmy and drake were, I think the lady presenting News was worse... WAY too excited about something like that...

 

[nitromac]

I have one very important question:

Will we be able to stream the entire music library currently on iTunes? Or only certain items that have some sort of streaming license?

just checked the website and answered my own question. yes it does support offline playback

 

[Switchback666]

So are we going to be able to download for offline usage like spotify and others? Or is it strictly streaming?

Most likely only streaming, they still have the iTunes Store so I doubt they will let people download music.

You can download for offline listening as well. Apple updated their website (has music header title). Plus its coming to CANADA TOO WOOHOO.

You get any tweets.
Yes you can.
Of course.
Yes it is.

No it's not.

$10 for radio, streaming, and any additional content you want.

Hope that helps!

And now Apple stock will drop.

 

[viettanium]

how about iTunes Match???

 

[ChrisCW11]

Meh. I have yet to pay a monthly subscription for music, and I think that trend will continue. For $10 a month I can just buy a new album every month from artists I like and respect, and these days there are not enough good albums released so I save money in the long run.

On the other hand give us iTunes all access, music, TV, movies, books etc, for even like $40/mth, and Apple will win me over forever.

There might be restrictions in countries

 

[wdfly]

i don't know that i could have been more disappointed with this WWDC. it was a yawner from start to finish with nothing that excited me in any way.

 

[oneMadRssn]

What the hlel is this service? What would I be paying for?

Can I get status updates from Drake without a subscription?
Can I listen to their everything for everyone radio station without a subscription?
Can I still buy songs?

 

[JGIGS]

14.99 family makes it interesting but which family member is going to take the monthly bill? Dad? lol

I sure hope you can download music to your device otherwise this is pointless. My data plan is too small to stream when not on wifi.

I'll probably stick with google play music since it searches seamlessly with google now if I want to listen to an artist, album or song with my Android device and I'm locked in at $7.99.

 

[skellener]

Radio station? Ahahahahahahahaha......

 

[BobbyCat]

Well, I'm certainly not paying Apple 10 $ a month for a radio station. There's a lot of excellent independent stations on the net, I'd rather support them than giving my hard earned money to Tim's shareholders, who already are sitting on mountains of cash.

 

[iBug2]

So let me get this straight, when this launches, we will be able to stream everything in the iTunes music store, for free, for 3 months? LOL
People will be listening to a lot of free music in those 3 months.

Siri integration -- if it works -- is a pretty cool way to find/play songs

Siri is about as much use as a chocolate tea pot at the moment.

Me: Siri, play the rest of this album
Siri: Play what?
Me: Play the rest of this album
Siri: Your wish is my command...just tell me what you want to play.
Me: Just shuffle music.

Things can only get better....I hope

I'm sure. Beats Music currently has offline.
