I've been a Spotify user for a while, so I'm just trialling Apple Music for now. On Spotify, you can make a playlist with songs and they don't show up in the "My Music" section. The only things that show up there are things you specifically "save". You then get the choice to make them available offline.
If they had held off for a week, we'd likely have the completed Apple Music app now as opposed to likely not getting it for about a week.
If you are having issues with family sharing, I certainly was, it could be because you're other half is using your email address on the iTunes or AppStore. To get family sharing to work in my case, I had to log my wife out of iTunes and AppStore and login as herself, then I actually had to try to buy Family Sharing on her account (I didn't complete the purchase) and in the process it asked if I wanted to transfer the device (her phone) to her apple id (which it was already registered for and was using her id for iCloud already). I said yes, followed some security prompts and cancelled the purchase. Killed the Music app and re-opened it, and it prompted her to join the family share. Convoluted? Yes.
Can anyone tell me an easy way to check what albums are flagged for offline mode? As far as I can tell there's no flag against the album, unless I am blind? You need to open the menu on an album in question to check and see if it offers to add or remove from offline mode. Not very clever when you want to clean up stuff you don't listen so often. The only obvious way to see your offline albums is to enable flight mode!

I tweeted them about this when Apple Music was announced and got the generic "we'll pass your interest along!" I can't imagine Apple Music won't be on the supported list soon considering how hard TMO pushed to get the iPhone.
Word of warning for those who like to keep their music library tidy. If you add a playlist with various artists, it will also add each song into your library from the particular album so potentially 20+ albums with a single song in. THEN if you remove the playlist from your My Music it won't remove the albums/songs from My Music.
People are complaining about slow Apple Music on twitter.
My 1GB update now says 1 day and 20 hours.
Anyone experiencing problems with iCloud?
This is really stupid. Crashing everything for a stupid radioshow and streaming business that's slow and glitchy. Fail.

Developers don't need Apple Music to test their apps and check for bugs...
Im the opposite, playlists are easier when adding tracks to them.
Maybe because it's following the same kind of model as iTunes on the desktop, it's easier for me.
Horses for courses.
Wow Apple Music is like Beats Music with all the features from Spotify like related artists and radio. This is awesome
Wow I just heard a song that I like on one of the radio stations and was then able to proceed to listen to the entire album all within the music app. I'm one who is almost totally against the renting music model but wow that was pretty damn convenient.
I suppose it's a little difficult to get the perfect look. Well I do like Spotify's dark theme is actually too dark for daytime use. So Apple is too white for nighttime use a Spotify is too black for daytime use. There needs to be an in between.
So the new update should only allow developers to test their apps? Guess they didn't need to include a new Safari, then, since Safari isn't needed to test apps and check for bugs in the API.
I'm not positive but I think when you turn on icloud music library it asks you if you want to merge or replace your library so if you choose merge then it shouldnt
The faqs that I read said that in a family plan everyone has there own account and everything is there own. I'm confused why this isn't the case. Unless your using the same account on all the devices that is the issue. Everyone has to have there own Apple ID.
Because they have to suppress bandwith for everything else in order to be able to deliver constant music stream and iOS updates to millions of people. It's a big fat FAIL
update now it says 1 day and 9 hours for a tiny 1gb update.
