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

[rugmankc]

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!

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

I updated thru iTunes 12.1.. and have no issues on my existing music. I did not select to accept Apple Music and other than a new layout, all songs, playlists are there.

Beats 1 is up!

 

[Paradoxally]

Didn't Spring King play before?

 

[rctlr]

At least it's a UK band.

 

[afx128]

I selected pretty much the same and it suggested Rihanna.

neither of those artists fall under the genres you omitted.

 

[JamesDo]

Is this the **** they are going to play?

 

[YegorH]

So how do we access all this stuff on a Mac? Searched everywhere without being able to find a clear answer. I have the latest iTunes. Is a newer version going to be available today?

Settings > Music > Sort Albums (Artist/Title)

Pick the setting that suits your needs.

- That's a relief. Thank you.

Still strange about the covers, though...

 

[gsmornot]

Beats 1 is live.

First song is ACDC- For Those About To Rock

Spring King - City is the first track for me.

 

[Rogifan]

Digging the first song they're playing. I wish there was a way to like what they're playing or save it to a playlist.

 

[jtrenda33]

Access to streaming music videos too... Whoa.

 

[Paradoxally]

This band is actually pretty decent.

 

[jdillings]

Spring King - City as the first song?! Good grief.

 

[lah]

Digging the first song they're playing. I wish there was a way to like what they're playing or save it to a playlist.

I already have my family set up with family sharing. That's been set up for a few months. Now that I've updated to 8.4, I signed up for the Apple Music family plan. Once I did that, it prompted me to set up my family. When I entered the password for the Apple ID I use for sharing purchases, it said that I was already part of a family and couldn't proceed. Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice on getting this set up would be appreciated.

What about the heart next to it?

Strange, it still doesn't work on my iPad. It acts like the streaming part of Apple Music does not exist (Radio and Connect are available). It also doesn't give me any sign up option or anything like that.

I figured it might be unavailable on the iPad while I use it on the iPhone (quite likely that there are restrictions like that), but even now that I stopped using it on the iPhone, the iPad doesn't know about Apple Music. Weird.

Oh... I fixed it...

Anyone who has the problem that Apple Music does not appear on your device: Go to the "Music" settings, turn off "Show Apple Music", kill the Music App (not sure if necessary, but can't hurt), then turn "Show Apple Music" back on. That did it for me.

 

[nishant.revur]

Same here. Public beta installed.

Ive been stuck on the requested update message for an hour now, really pissing off!

 

[AZMecha]

Beats 1 is now Live... World Wide !!!!!! Wooooot!!!!!!!

 

[JamesDo]

This DJ sucks already.

 

[Tech198]

installing now on iPad.. around 226 MB only took 4 minutes...

Nice and quick .That's what i like to see. But we Ozzie's gotta wait till tomorrow (Wednesday) morning for Apple music...

*shakes fist all round*

I never update OTA.... conveniently breaks

 

[TMRJIJ]

First Song, I've never heard of before but. . . it not bad.
