'Yes', as in it's the new white icon or 'yes' as in it's still the same?

Yes, new white icon.

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.

What are you drinking? It's awesome!

 

[KALLT]

Same here.

Same here as well. Have you installed the iOS 8.4 beta? Might it be related to that?

This is going to be a major threat to Sirius XM if they can get more live radio stations...

It might be on the streaming side, but SiriusXM has something that Apple doesn't and that's satellites in the sky. I guess if you have enough data to be able to stream while you drive then Apple Music makes sense, however SiriusXM keeps it's business going by having a monopoly on satellite radio. Most of their packages anymore just give you streaming for free if you have the satellite service in your car. I must say SiriusXM does have really good stations and Apple would need to really expand beyond Beats 1 if they want to have an actual radio station line-up like SiriusXM has.

Is anyone else getting unpredictable controls on the radio? Sometimes I have the menu and like button, other times it's greyed out.

I think it's related to what's available from iTunes in your country. If the song is not available the heart button will disappear.

I was able to add a song to playlist w/o downloading.

For me the "added" sign shows up when I add to an existing playlist but I check the album song count and it's the same number. Also scrolled down trying to find it and nothing.

(This is on iOS)

 

[TonyC28]

Am I weird for not caring at all about a music service? Maybe I'm just getting old.

Really getting annoyed though that I can't like or save any of these songs. This is at least three that aren't on Apple Music...

 

[Andrei90]

Finally iTunes update incomiiiing!!!

 

[jan08]

This song that is on now is fabulous. Yeah, I'm a Beats 1 listener from now on

 

[joonyaboy]

Is there an option to never play Explicit songs? I want to use this at work without constantly monitoring it.

 

[Kevin76]

Is anyone else experiencing issues with showing their music library? I am only seeing one artist show up. I have toggled the "Turn off Apple Music", closed the app, and it's still the same issue.

Also, was anyone able to transfer their Beats Music playlists? It gave me an error when doing so and now I'm afraid it's too late to go back since I am already signed up for Apple Music.

Yes me as well.

His endless hyperbole is nauseating. He reminds me of Jimmy Fallon. Every artist is great and every song is the best ever. Everything is incredible.

I think I've heard "Worldwide. Always On" about 100 times now and it hasn't been on an hour yet.

Is everyone doing the update OTA? not all need to reply

I am under the impression that these sounds overlap all the time. Sometimes entire parts are repeated too. Maybe it's a glitch?

 

[Knowimagination]

I switched from individual to family. It's confusing, but you still have the trial.

So you originally set up your apple music account as individual and then switched it to family and it still says 9/30 is the next time you will be charged?

If so that is exactly what I want to do.

 

[LordQ]

$99 MXN is AWESOME, Sign me in forever. Now I need those Bose headphones I just saw to enjoy this.

I have 10GB of data a month from Verizon just on my iPhone so I'm good

So far it's very cool. However, the way iTunes Radio is handled is utter crap. You can't rename stations and you can't organize them at all. They're just in your recently played list. So that's annoying. Also, some of the artists I listened to quite frequently which were available in iTunes Radio yesterday are no longer available in Apple Music, so that's a bummer. I guess I can just add their music to the library, but meh.

Sounds like a good radio DJ doing his job to me
