I agree. I can't believe how hideous that FKA twigs creature is - seriously, I'm not just being hateful - she REALLY wreaks havoc on my eyes. It's like looking at a demon.
Got a tip for us?

You want me to listen to Apple music, pay me. I will not pay for music unless I get a tangible return. This is why I do not support streaming.
I'm sorry that Apple Music doesn't have enough video game and anime soundtracks for you.
indeed, i follow heaps of artists and the last post was 2 weeks ago lol
I really want to like to Apple music but they are making it so hard to do so. This is the first app that's compelled me to keep a running log of bugs and quirks. It's a mix of confusing user interface decisions, and yes, many many bugs.
Except when you can't. 75% of the time that option is only available after 'adding to my music' for me. One fun bug is that when you add a song from one of Apple's playlists to one of your playlists, your playlist is no longer able to be synced across devices.
Two things to keep in mind when discussing bugs - some people are talking about iPhone and others are talking about desktop. Also, some things Apple appears to be able to tweak/change in place without an app update, and some of the options in the dropdown seem to have changed over time.
So it seems on iPhone the app does what he wants. He must be talking about desktop then because yeah I can't find a way to add to playlist directly either.
Come on now. He didn't make comments about Maple Syrup, or Poutine on Fries did he?
I don't know what to say about Apple anymore, having been a customer/user for a long, long time and have owned most o their products.
It just feels like they are spreading themselves thin. The ad campaign - not simple enough using all of those different fonts. And so much confusion about products: keeping so many iPad models and a new large iPad? And the MacBook (new) is really adds confusion because it is thin and light like an Air, but not an Air. An Air is nice, but no retina. Then there is the Pro, which are all Retina, or not?
I don't worship Steve Jobs and all he did, but he chose simplicity over almost everything else. He wanted things to be iconic and he certainly did that with Apple.
I still love my iPhone and Apple still rocks, but with Apple Music it is becoming something else.
Here is the problem I have with the App. It always wants to phone home. I don't get good phone service at work. When I open the app to listen to my music that is on my phone, the app wants to phone home. But it can't because of the signal. And then I get a blank screen for my music, like it's a web app? And then I can't listen to my music.

I'm embarrassed to say I've never heard of her or her music. This is truly the first time, in this thread. She looks okay to me, aside from the rather thick nose ring. Why do people find her so objectionable? Is her music offensive?
Edit to add, I just Googled her. Okay she's engaged to a sparkle vampire. Strike one. She looks completely devoid of any thought or personality or emotion...sort of like the ex girlfriend of the aforementioned sparkle vampire...strike three. And she seems into that weird occult symbolism pop and rappers are into these days. But that can't be the third strike since most people don't pay any attention to that stuff aside from the attention Gaga and Beyoncé draw to it. So what's the deal with all the hate for this woman?

I agree, they've got their fingers in too many pies and nothing "just works" anymore. I don't have trouble with the Apple Music service but then I don't try to do anything with it beyond compile very basic play lists using the simple search function for music I already know about.
Even then one day a song disappeared from my play list and I had to jump through a hoop to get it back.
Match works fine for me, and I just easily created a playlist by clicking on a playing song. I also created a station using the same method. What's your next "flaw?"
While you're at it tell every other company to follow suit. Not a single company that I have ever bought products from advertised after everything about the product was perfect.
With that mentality you'd never make it as a business owner that creates their own product for public consumption.
The Apple "Music" app/service is confusing. The interface is awful. It's the complete opposite of elegant and intuitive.
You mean unlike Itunes which is worse? Compared to Itunes it is a picture of clarity.
I'm going to bet they won't go back to Spotify, if they ever were there is the first place. Apple Music is expanding the market; which is good for all streamers, even Spotify.
CEO of WD-40 said this in Seattle Times interview:
Q: The world and technology change so rapidly, but WD-40 seems to do well by mostly sticking to its knitting. True?
A: Focus is so important. You have to know what you understand and what you don’t understand. A lot of companies like to diversify but we call it “de-worsify,” where you keep looking for that shiny new penny because what we’re doing sometimes gets boring.
Apple's product is an integrated experience, not an actual physical product, so it does have focus.
What your stating is why Wall Street doesn'T get Apple.
They're not a company that diversifies like Samsung, every piece fits in a larger environment.
Hi Mr Cue,
I kept my paid Spotify subscription and I'm very happy about it. Unless iTunes 12.3/13 comes out VERY SOON and resolves ALL the Apple Music problems, I'm not extending my free trial, but I will probably switch to Spotify Unlimited because I'd kinda like to download music for offline listening.
On the other hand, congratulations on convincing 1.4% of iTunes users to try out Apple Music for FREE, well done!
