Apple Releases iOS 8.4 With Apple Music, Beats 1, and Revamped Music App

[Paradoxally]

No iTunes yet...hmm.

Where is Apple Music for the Mac? Where? Where???

This revamped Apple Music App is a total disaster!!!!! The design and usability is horrible. It's not intuitive and the "now playing" banner at the bottom gets lost and the buttons are too small.

I don't like the new Music app's UI. If you don't want Apple Music you're stuck with the "Connect" and can't customize the bottom bar even if you disable Apple Music in settings. Why do I have to view my music by Album or Artist. Why can't I put both back on the bottom?


I'm glad iTunes Radio is still there.

Been stuck here for about 10 minutes

Im going on 30 minutes. Were you on the public beta?

Just downloaded. You have to scroll back to the top of your list in my music to toggle between artist, albums, etc? Seriously???

Also gone is that cool way to look at your albums in landscape mode.

For your own music collection this appears to be a worse player.

It only takes one tap of the bar at the top of the screen to instantly scroll you immediately back to the top just like it always has in iOS.

The replacement for coverflow while it was cool, I doubt many people used. Lots of people hated it and it probably wasted memory so that is probably why they deleted it.

Ruh-roh, Beats 1 is starting to sound like amateur hour with all the public testing. It's a little late to be testing with less than an hour to go before start.

Probably just crossing their T's and dotting their I's. No big deal.

 

[AppleDavid]

WOOOOOOW just 5,99€ in Slovenia

And I don't see a way to disable recently added.

I KNOW what's been added.

Yeah I read that already. Basically you had to create a Beats account and migrate your stuff to it. I want to know how to migrate using Apple Music.

Still stuck on update requested... Updating from iOS 8.4 Public Beta

Just finished updating. Removing the public beta profile and restarting my phone worked

 

[Nozuka]

damn this update takes forever to install.... my iphone5 is getting old

 

[I7guy]

Up and running...the world didn't come to an end.

 

[Phil A.]

No Beatles available to stream so definitely not the full iTunes library...

 

[mogolfiero]

Anybody else notice how the buttons for the Apple Music subscription have the old ios 6 style? cool! or they have been working on Apple music since then

 

[darkfiber]

Both my iPhone 5s and iPad Air 2 finished installing about the same time (11:22AM ET) the whole process (from OTA download to install) took about 20 minutes for both.

 

[unobtainium]

I've been having the same issue on iOS 9 beta 2.

I think you have to create the playlist first. Very unintuitive for someone coming from Spotify.

 

[paul43]

haha, I hear people testing beats 1

 

[amirite]

Anyone listening to Beats 1? Sounds like they're having issues.

Yeah, we knew that.

Yep, Zane Lowe is like 'test test test'. Pretty amusing.

I meant music altogether. The entire playlist system is broken in Beta 2. I wish beta 2 had Apple Music built in, but it doesn't.
