This is the main benefit of streaming services. Gaining revenue from those that sources that were unavailable before. This is why streaming will end up being a net positive in the future. Artists and labels won't have to make all their money from devoted fans; they can also make money from casual listeners too. I know I certainly can't afford to buy all the music I listen to, so I buy what I can and stream the rest.I never bought music in my life and obtained it illegally.
I'm now a subscriber to Apple Music. It's worth it and I can finally say I support the artists.
I'm so glad they're so focused on contuninug to improve the service. I like the For You section, Beats 1 and the continually updated playlists. I love Apple Music and it's only going to get better.
I don't understand why that is a negative. Nothing is perfect and I like that they keep working to improve it. In my mind, it shows dedication and careful consideration of feedback. I think it'd be rather stubborn to ignore feedback and insist the design has no problems.1 year old and already needs a re-design. Sign of a great success right?

Their stated reason is that their smart watch market is new and thus they don't want to give their competitors any advantages. If sales are strong and they report them, that could theoretically incentivize competitors to focus on smart watches, and that's not exactly good for Apple.Funny how Apple continues to boast about the number of Apple Music subscribers BUT won't tell us how many watches they've sold.
Streaming services, on the other hand, are not a new market and reporting stronger numbers could actually generate interest from potential customers.
