Apple Music for Android Updated With Playback and Playlist Fixes

[MacRumors]

Apple Music for Android has been updated with a few bug fixes related to playback and playlist issues.

In particular, the update resolves a playback issue where songs skip over the first two seconds of music. It also fixes an issue where albums added to a playlist appear in an unexpected order.

Apple Music version 0.9.11 is available on the Google Play store as a free update.

I still can't get this to work on my iPhone. Must be a bug they haven't fixed yet.

I like that icon better than the iTunes for Mac/Windows

Apple should use it's own App Store to update it's own stock apps on iOS too.

Just saw the update. Playback issues are the most annoying thing about the Android version. I hope they are fixed.

I keep coming back to AM for a month when a new version for Android comes out. I love Play Music too except for it pushing artist stations, sorting by artist not album and not being able to hide my own local music I use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rhmsoft.pulsar.pro.

They are, starting with iOS 10.

That is incorrect. Apple confirmed that it's not going to happen. They will not update stock apps thru the App Store.

Really? That's good. I didn't even know

The stock apps don't install as part of the OS process... they must be downloaded from the App Store (I've done this myself.) How else will they be updated?

They do come with iOS. That's why the IPSW is ~5GB expanded. How did you manage to install the apps from the store?

That's where they show up once you've deleted them. Although, after doing some reading I've found that you are correct. When you "delete" a stock app, it really just removes the icon, user data and links to the app. It doesn't actually delete the app itself.

No that's not true.

It's coming.
[doublepost=1468030717][/doublepost]I wonder how many Android subscribers there are.

Outside Spotify, Apple Music can be the most popular streaming service on Android, beating Google at their home...

No. They are updated via an iOS update. Deleting the stock Apps only deletes user data, hides the icon and removes access to certain system integration 'hooks'. The app binary data remains intact on your phone. Apple decided to allow easy app re-installation via an App Store download option - but it's not actually downloading the app itself - merely re-activating user access and icon visibility on your phone...

Apple Music for Android is by far the ********* app I've ever used. Crashes all the time, is slow as hell, sometimes it doesn't work at all and listening offline with a bad internet connection takes forever because without internet it doesn't even load the app menu and you're unable to select a song because it needs to download your music collection every freaking time. I hate using it every day.

I'm aware that it's still in beta but that they shouldn't advertise the availability of Apple Music on Android. Because right now it must be the worst app in the whole universe!

 

[Maddix]

I use it everyday on my Amazon Firephone without issues.

 

[tonyr6]

Months ago during my three month trial the Android app was terribly buggy. It crashed many times on startup with the most annoying thing when songs would randomly pause. They finally fixed that annoyance in the last update which is something so common it should have been fixed sooner. Then the first 2 seconds of a song got cut off. That was fixed in the last update.

The only real issue I have now is if I am listening to a song and I get a phone call after I hang up the music does not resume and when I resume it manually the song starts from the beginning.

 

[navaira]

Should I even ask if it manages playing gapless?

Talk about hyperbole! Wow. You complain about them letting people know something is in beta, then complain about the nature of a beta, then declare something is the worst ever. Age restrictions got you down?

LOL no it can't. At least not as long as AM is horrible and GM isn't.

What?

Google Music is plainly horrible, specially on Android!

And the content sucks, less music than Apple and no bonus like the Radio shows, not even cheaper!

 

[tonyr6]

I used both and as for music content it is about the same of course I listen to mostly older music.
