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

[Mac21ND]

Are you kidding me? What kind of DJs do you listen to? Zane Lowe is fantastic.

Zane Lowe is great. Why does the UK get all the good stuff????

Is it me or iOS 8.4 removes landscape album artwork view on iPhone?

Correct. It was removed for the 8.4 Beta as well.

 

[soccerjoshj07]

yep, and songs stored locally have a small device icon in the upper right corner of there label.


you may need to disable iCloud music library on your phone once you go thru the matching process to get everything to populate faster on your phone.

You do understand that this is a different service than apple music though?

Also - where is the icon you speak of for locally saved files? Unsure what the best way to download a bunch of songs is...create a playlist?

 

[LordQ]

Damn, I'm already in love with Apple Music!!!

 

[lucanaut]

Any idea where the customized radio stations went? In the "radio" tab I see one or two under "Recently played" (and the names I had given them are gone, replaced by the name of the first artist used to create the station), but the ones I have not played in a little while are nowhere to be seen. Even scrolling down, all I see are the precanned ones. So even if I create a new station from a song in Apple Music, where will that appear? This interface is totally confusing/overwhelming. I'm all for change, but there should be some sort of tutorial somewhere!!

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

How did you remove?

 

[mzd]

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.

yeah, i did an over the air update. tried restarting. nothing. no music. the music app just has a "going off the grid?" message with the option to Show All Music but that just shows me music i have purchased from iTunes.

No iOS 9 update for Apple Music is a serious fail.

Not really. If you wanted to listen to Beats 1, you would have stayed on iOS 8.

Apple are working on iOS 9 and don't care about people who want Apple Music on their devices. You'll have to wait another week. Shame really. You're missing out.

 

[dannyyankou]

Well, this really sucks. I've been here since 4 hours ago waiting to update iTunes hoping to hear Beats1 launch live and Apple decided windows useres weren't good enough for them. What a same.

Relax, not even the Mac is getting it yet. Probably a major iTunes update this fall.

Spotify is not done. It is home to most of my friends, we share playlists, it works with my Sonos system today, it's the same price as Apple Music. It has Spotify Running (which is excellent). Don't be so melodramatic - Spotify can co-exist with whatever Apple and Google can throw at it.

Unless they increase their paying subscribers they are done. Currently, if I remember correctly, various outlets report that they are operating at a loss... losing money each quarter due to royalty payments.

 

[jdillings]

Do we really need them to play "Worldwide. Always On" during all the songs? Yeah, we get it, save that crap for between songs.

Zane Lowe's first word, over the placeholder Brian Eno track minutes before the station officially launched:

"Lemons"

 

[SMIDG3T]

My Beats 1, now that Zane is talking, keeps going back over itself - I've heard him say "lets get this thing started" three times so far...

He's excited. Leave him be!!!

 

[MonkeySee....]

This DJ sucks already.

Zane Lowe is epic. You will get used to his style and learn to love it

 

[nando87]

I though I wouldn't try it but I'm trying and it looks really really nice. My iphone 6's battery won't last a lot...

 

[Paradoxally]

Zane Lowe is great. Why does the UK get all the good stuff????

Actually I think Zane is in LA.

 

[mostman]

Ok. I can confirm if you have Apple Music ON but turn OFF iCloud Music Library - your device will lose any music that you have via Match (not bought through iTunes). In other words, Apple Music does not do everything Match (now iCloud Music Library?) does.

 

[producerlawson]

Well your friend is wrong.

That's what I told him, but then the rest of his colleagues backed him in my conversation.. He works as a manager in the digital crm dep. Well I guess we can all just hope that's not the truth!

 

[Bass1293]

Do we have any kind of schedule for Beats 1?

 

[amirite]

No iOS 9 update for Apple Music is a serious fail.

Why? It's beta software for developers.

 

[mzd]

For everyone who lost their music. Make sure you have "make music available offline" selected

Click on "artists" in your library

i don't have that option. the only toggle below the Artists, Albums, Songs list is to Show iTunes Purchases.

 

[dannyyankou]

Not really. If you wanted to listen to Beats 1, you would have stayed on iOS 8.

Apple are working on iOS 9 and don't care about people who want Apple Music on their devices. You'll have to wait another week. Shame really. You're missing out.

I had watchos2 which requires iOS 9, but I downgraded to 8.4 to try beats music. My watch will only be able to tell time for the next week, haha.

 

[Kevin76]

Can anybody help please as I have downloaded iOS 8.4 but I can't find all my songs in my library on my iPhone thanks.

 

[dumastudetto]

Hm. Me again. For the first song, you could. For the current song, you can't add to my music.

It only works for songs available on Apple Music. If he's playing something not available in your country, you can't heart or add it to any lists.

 

[ninethirty]

Does Apple Music also work through desktop iTunes? Because I listen to music all day on Spotify while I'm working. If this doesn't work through the desktop, I'm out!
