Well, that said you could easily also throw away your iPhone or iMac. They both have absoletely nothing in common with Apple Music - just like iTunes Match which is actually a cloud storage
I was asking the commenter based on the tone of the comment in conjunction with his/her signature. It came across as a trolling comment and I was offering an opportunity for him/her to respond to a positive question in a positive way.
I know many people don't like either iTunes Match (I have no problems with it) or Apple Maps (for me it works about as well but sometimes routes less efficiently than Google Maps).
This price is going to sound like music to a lot of ears in India. Also, I do have a feeling that the general concept of music streaming may mean that Apple may finally make all of its music available in all the countries...?
That's cool. I just found it two be two services that ..... Are not apples best work
Just found it funny thats all. Though I get your point, said enough.
FYI , I Do not have access to apple match, and Apple maps had a extra airport or two I was not aware in my country at launch

Our local one is still missing from Apple Maps if you've got one going spare.
Depends on the deals apple can arrange. Just cause it's streaming does not means it's not constraint by copywrite, royalties and licensing across regions .

Alas the spare became a car park
Which one missing? It's only 2015, not like adding an airport to a maps service is important. Small one like Heathrow ?

It's only a small one but it's been there since WW2. They've missed the airport but have a POI for the flight training school that's located there.
My human brain thinks you are terrible in math and should not work as a Accountant.
Rip off Britain strikes again. I was interested in this before but seeing the price structures across the world and now I think "nah thanks Apple".
Only represented my state as the 15th best at the American Regional Math League (which is the highest national competition - I wish they'd drop the word Regional from the title), but yes, I must be terrible at math if you say so.
I concur that I shouldn't work as an accountant - it's a dull job that has mostly been automated away already, and will probably be gone entirely within 10 years.
As I explained in my post, this is a marketing thing. Many people will see $5.99 and $9.99 as equally appealing (so generate about the same number of sales). Obviously one generates more revenue per sale than the other, so you go with the one that generates the most revenue per sale, since they have equal numbers of sales.
Anyone know how to set up a Russian iTunes account?
message me your credit card number. ill set it up for you.
Apple Music will cost $9.99 per month in the United States after a three-month free trial period, but the service may have lower pricing elsewhere. A sign-up menu for Apple Music that started appearing yesterday for some developers and public beta testers on iOS 8.4 beta 4 reveals that the subscription-based streaming music service could cost as little as $2 to $3 per month in countries such as India and Russia.
A pair of separate reports by Technology Personalized and Russian-language tech blog TJournal share screenshots that suggest an Apple Music individual subscription could cost Rs 120 per month (~$2 USD) in India and 169 rubles per month (~$3 USD) in Russia. While the lower prices in these countries are not confirmed beyond these screenshots, they would be in line with similar pricing offered by rivals such as Rdio, Guvera and Gaana.
Apple Music was announced earlier this week as a streaming music service, live global radio station and social platform for artists to connect with fans. The subscription-based service will be available for a monthly fee after a three-month free trial for iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac and PC. Apple TV and Android versions of the service will be available in the fall. Apple Music launches June 30 on iOS 8.4 and iTunes.

I think Apple Music should be $1-$2 per month. I would use it as a way of finding music to buy. Otherwise, I'm happy using the 90 second preview that currently exists.
I'm not suprised about apples pricing. Apple is already facing antitrust allegations, and undercutting the music streaming business would just be adding fuel to the fire. £9.99 is a little much for me, I will stick to my free spotify account and purchasing occasional songs. Works out cheaper than streaming.
Wow this is greaaaat news... Might even decide to go for family sub if it's around 500 bucks per month...never thought they would do this.
And for those who say people in India listen to Bollywood stuff mainly are very mistaken. I know so many people who don't give a rat's a** for Bollywood. Plus iTunes India store has all the songs I listen to. Plus even if it doesn't, iTunes Match which comes free with Apple music will more than make up for it.
Awesome times ahead indeed.
