wow. all my music is gone, aside from songs purchased off iTunes. all my playlists as well. i assume i will get them back after i sync with iTunes at home, but this is pretty lame. i did not sign up for Apple Music and i am not on Match. i haven't read this whole thread, but i certainly wasn't aware updating to 8.4 would delete my entire library!

You need to update your iTunes to 12.2. So then the "cloud" can update and populate with your iTunes stuff.

so far I think it's pretty good. Very curious to see how Beats One will work out. Good start so far, they've been playing Brian Eno's "Music for Airports".
 
all the iTunes screenshots have been updated on the website.. just waiting for the download to show up...

I think there are still some minor bugs. For example in my music Pink Floyd had some wrong album covers. But it's whatever it works as advertised. Spotify is RIP

Same here but with me it was an artist. I was viewing Martin Garrix but it wasn't him!

Edit: fixed now.

[edit] the space my music took up is still used, but under General > About > Songs = 0.

Sounds like a bug. Try restarting, or check music settings.

pretty sure iCloud music library is iTunes match. It's suppose to delete all of your music and let you stream it.

when you first set it up you need to get on a computer with your full iTunes library and allow it to "match" your music. Anything you didn't buy in iTunes they already have a copy of becomes available for you to stream, and any music you have in iTunes that is not already available will be uploaded for you to stream/download on your devices.

That's what I was thinking. Will try that when I get home.

If you click Artists and the drop down, you can filter between music that is stored locally and music that is added to your Music library / My Music.
 
So...anyone figured out where the shuffle controls are? I live and die by being able to shuffle my entire library....

I just questioned a friend who works at Apple, and he's saying no Apple Pay until September for the UK.. ?!! He even mentioned how they've been told they'll be getting it in early Autumn.

Apple today released iOS 8.4, the fourth major update to iOS 8. First seeded to developers in April, iOS 8.4 includes a newly revamped Music app and Apple's long-awaited on-demand streaming music service, Apple Music.

iOS 8.4 is available immediately as an over-the-air download, and the new Apple Music service is located within the Music app. Apple Music will be available immediately after iOS 8.4 is installed, while the Beats 1 radio service will kick off at 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time.

Introduced at the recent Worldwide Developers Conference, Apple Music is an on-demand streaming music service that's much like Apple's former Beats Music service. It allows users to listen to an unlimited amount of music for $9.99 per month or $14.99 for a family plan that supports up to 6 listeners.

Apple Music is accompanied by the Beats 1 radio station, which features 24-hour live human-curated music at no cost, and Apple Music Connect, a social networking platform that allows artists to interact with fans and share content like photos and videos. Apple Music includes millions of songs from iTunes and is launching simultaneously in more than 100 countries.

Along with Apple Music, today's iOS 8.4 update includes a complete overhaul of the built-in Music app. It incorporates Apple Music and it features a new design that shows pictures of artists in the Artists view and a new MiniPlayer with a revamped "Now Playing" look. There are personalized playlists, global search capabilities that make it easier to search within the Music app, and a streamlined design for the radio feature to bolster music discovery.

Other minor changes in iOS 8.4 include the relocation of audiobooks from the Music app to the iBooks app, consolidating all books, print, and audio into one convenient spot, and a new Audiobooks for CarPlay app, giving drivers a standalone app dedicated to playing their audiobooks.

After using this for about 20 minutes, it's abundantly clear to me that Spotify is the clear winner of ease-of-use in the user interface and interface design. Spotify is designed around playlists - quickly discovering music to add to you playlists. This task seems like a chore in the new Apple Music.
