If only you could find and buy a PS5.
It’s possible if you try harder I’ve bought two back in December when it was way worse. One for me one for my friend. You have to follow certain people on twitter and turn on instant notifications when things are dropping. Wake up at 4:50am for a 5am window. You have 10 seconds to a minute to try to buy one and reload it it hangs over and over till you get lucky.
it’s not optimal but you can do it if you really try.
problem is people don’t want to go through the hassle of all that. I’d expect stock to be ok by summer of 2022 If not.
 
And they still don't have a Windows app.
iTunes for Windows works (just) fine.

Emphasis on the "just" bit. The app is clunky and lacks newer features like lossless/hi-res, though it does work.

We can only hope Apple improves on the timeliness (and quality) of software releases for 3rd party OSes, especially with the "services" focus. Though, I'm not holding my breath on that...

I expect we'll see a hobbled web-wrapper app around music.apple.com, if anything.
 
Great. Another platform on which it will be all buggy. Just what everyone asked for. At least now I know what the devs did while not fixing Music for Mac and iPhone.

Sorry I don't install iTunes on my Windows machine. It's a pig. A slick, separate Windows Store app for Apple Music would be much more welcome.

Honestly very, very surprised (and pleased) by this. I thought I was doomed to having to deal with the frankly really bad Spotify app, and the constant ads.

Thanks for listening to Spotify. No, really. You could've listened to the radio. You could've spun some vinyl...

Also, I got my PS5 day one. Really sucks people are still having problems. Hopefully everyone manages to get theirs soon! Holiday stock should hopefully make it a bit easier.
 
400? They’d shipped over 10 million last I’d heard (and it’s been a while). It’s a terrific machine, you ought to get one.
It's connected to the guy that shortly before me said "the 400 people that got a PS5 will be happy". The machines are totally out there. Just gotta know how to snap one up.

Yep, took me a week or two (probably 20 minutes a day during that time) with notifications turned on for a couple of Twitter feeds.

(To be honest, I was probably trying to reply to the other guy.)
