I have yet to get mine over yet, my library is empty although I use iTunes Match. Not sure what's going on.
Got a tip for us?

I don't know if this has already been discussed, but here's the glitch I've found:
1. A For You radio station plays a Zac Brown Band song, "Chicken Fried"
2. I already have that song, rated as a Matched track in My Music.
3. In the past, it would never acknowledge that Matched tracks didn't need to be repurchased. Now it still doesn't distinguish, and offers the "Add to My Music" link. Disappointing, but not too surprising.
4. Adding it to My Music adds a duplicate track in My Music under the correct album. (The track number was one off for some reason.)
5. Selecting "Remove from My Music" on the duplicate track removed BOTH versions of the song, Matched and Apple Music.
6. The Matched version of the song ALSO disappeared from iTunes cloud on my iPad Air 2 (running 9.0b2).
I'm not at home to see what has happened in iTunes. I'll definitely copy the downloaded original track to a safe location before I open iTunes.
Edited to add: It could be because the track numbers didn't match up. The version of the album I had--imported from CD--combined the Violin Intro to Free into the same track as Free, so that the track number for Chicken Fried is off. It doesn't seem to offer "Add to My Music" on some other old Matched tracks from CD.

I love Jimmy Fallon, so no worries for me.
This is a huge venture... would be questionable if the dj couldn't scare up some enthusiasm.
Wow, the more I try it, the more annoying it gets. I just lost another three songs from my playlist of 23 songs. Just like that. Did anyone at Apple actually test the playlist feature in the new Music app? It's quite close to unusuable.
Beats 1 needs a recently played list. Also I'm noticing A LOT of the songs Zane is playing are NOT available on Apple Music. I tap on the 3 dots and all I get is start station or share station. Is it intentional to be playing so much stuff not available for streaming on Apple Music?
Yes, but just like many other radio stations, you can stream and listen in from anywhere in the world. I don't get all this hype over Beats1. Its been just over an hour and everyone's going crazy, like there aren't hundreds of thousands of radio stations in existence today, a lot of which you can stream and listen in from anywhere in the world, like for instance, through the TuneIn app.
So I'm very confused. I just updated to 8.4, signed up for Apple Music, and all of my locally stored music is gone. I checked in settings, and it says 0 Songs. Did all my music just disappear? I have it all backed up on my Macbook, but still, I didn't realize signing up to Apple Music would completely remove all my locally stored playlists and music. There are a lot of live tracks and such that aren't in Apple Music that I have no access to until I can re-sync to my Macbook.
Crazy confusing interface and service at the moment.

When is iTunes 12.2 coming out? I want to listen to Beats 1 on my PC too...
Did that to me like 10 mins ago... I hit the stop button, then play and started working just fine again.
Zane Lowe generally seems likable, it's just the random interruptions of songs with "BEATS ONE WORLDWIDE ALWAYS ON" which is starting to get really annoying. Reminds me of everything awful about normal radio.
It takes time. The serves are being hit crazy. I was worried just like you. I just now saw all my albums I had in my Beats Music Library populate on iTunes on my Mac just now.
That's what my iTunes library looks like.
