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

Guys it's seems like Israel is the only country that listed on Apple countries list
http://www.apple.com/music/country-availability

And still didn't get Apple Music nor beats1, the radio suppose to be worldwide.. FFS
I guess it's not delayed by rollout or something, anyone else still waiting for it?

I don't see cover art and control buttons on the lock screen since the update.

I am seeing them. iPhone 6 - UK.

Apple and online, bad combination. Google would have done this with eas.

You're comparing Apples with Oranges. When Google releases an Android update, just a few people here and there update. When Apple release an iOS update, it's downloaded by millions simultaneously. And I'm not even being fanboyishly sarcastic here. iOS 8 runs on my mother-in-law's iPad 2.

Is there going to be update for the Apple TV? i was hoping that Apple Music would be on there

Apple have said the update is coming later in the year, think it is autumn like Android. Could be due to the delay in the rumoured new Apple TV.

Are radio stations working for anyone (other than beats1) ? I'm not getting anything other than an error? Do you have to be a subscriber to get radio stations ?

you have to subscribe was the same for me till i started the free trial now they all work (I'm in the UK).

Hm, strange. Where are you located?

Ireland.

Here's what comes up for me

Why are people assuming they'd need a new Android version to run their music service? It'd be sent out to just about everyone via an update to an app or a new app in the store.

 

[MentalFloss]

I might be missing something but why is so much missing from the iPad version? On my iPhone it has a "you" section with playlists made for your likes. Why is that not showing in the iPad? Also it shows radio but not apple music...

It was like that for me on my iPad at the beginning. I had to go to the "Music" section in "Settings". There, I turned off "Show Apple Music", killed the Music app and turned "Show Apple Music" on again. Then, the whole streaming-related stuff appeared.

Didn't work for others though. YMMV.

There is a "star", and when you press that, it will give you a "Play more like this" and "Play less like this" option. That's not quite what you are asking for, but at least it sends a message to the curation algorithm.

Thanks, I just created a station based on an artist and see that now. Looks like only the user created stations have that option. The standard ones only have a heart.

Wonder if they have enough "green" power for their servers. Maybe they melted from the overload.

I restarted my iPhone and now I see both the cover art and control buttons. Thanks.

I'm not assuming that. All I am saying is that Apple is rolling out one of their most anticipated iOS upgrades ever to a huge number of users - something that Google has never actually done on that scale. I was only arguing against the "Google would have done that flawlessly" statement.

 

[QquegChristian]

umm it's in Apple Music

click on the artist name on their pages (right above follow make sure it's on the name of the band)

Thanks! That was, unintuitive without any little > or anything.

 

[bvledford]

I'm guessing that watchOS and Apple TV will be needing an update as well. Probably spread out to avoid an overload.

I definitely feel like there will be, it's just a matter of time. We gotta get this Mac OS X version though.

you have to subscribe was the same for me till i started the free trial now they all work (I'm in the UK).

BBC World Service works without subscribing. I hear they are headlining Glastonbury next year.

Except Google would have done this better than Apple has because Apple relies on updates to the OS to update their apps. Obviously there would be flaws, but it'd still be better than what we're getting.

Damn. Annoying they leave them there if you choose not to subscribe. Oh well.

They have to be better than Kanye this year

I am to assume, then, since there is nothing here nor elsewhere about Apple Music being made available to OS X users, the Music service is for iOS8 users only. Yosemite users are out of luck. Yes?

 

[javischak]

Still waiting on itunes 12.2.

My goodness, it's coming, give it time...

You'll keep waiting. It's not coming today.

 

[nrose101]

Are you kidding me? They roll out a garage band update before iTunes 12.2????

 

[Daoyee]

iTunes official page says that 12.2 is coming soon. It used to be in red letters. Now it is standard black.
