Newspaper review said it's lacking and is slow because Apple can't handle the traffic.
Comments are saying the sound quality is bad.

A few comments from Norwegians:
(translation)
How can you take those comments seriously after you read "Apple music streams music at 256kbps. No thanks" It shows how ignorant these comments are.
 
It just works! ...

Launched the Music app on my iPad, and I only see the Apple Music logo. Nothing's happening?! No more music for me.

Why is every iCloud related update a complete mess on my end? iCloud Photos is a complete joke, iTunes Match never worked properly, and now this. Do I have an iCloud account on some crappy forgotten server or what?
 
Because I'm pretty sure the person that made that comment was comparing it to 320kbps MP3
You're making an assumption, and a wrong one. So you're the ignorant one.
He's comparing to Wimps 320 AAC, FLAC and ALAC streams.
 
No treble? Well, it IS "Beats radio" after all, who would expect quality audio with that connection?

Most. Craptastic. Cans. Ever.

Yes, it's on Crappy Forgotten Server 23. I had to laugh when I read that.

Yeah, no one cares about that really. That's why Tidal is failing and that's why iTunes is the biggest music store.
 
I don't know if this has been said yet, but...

Developers can partially use Apple Music on iOS 9 beta 2 by initially using the service on iOS 8.4 on another device. If you add a song/album to My Music it will appear and play on a beta device.

And if we only have one device, we're screwed! :D
 
Did anybody else notice a significant increase (thus faster) in the response time of Siri requests? I did notice a huge step.. I wonder wether this is already supposed to be "Siri's iOS 9 speed" or things will again speed up with iOS 9? Anyways, great Siri is getting faster!
Anybody's got some thoughts about this?
 
No one cares about sound quality. Therefore Tidal is failing.
People DO care about sound quality. The failing of Tidal is not because Tidal has better sound quality - and that people do not care for such. But yes, most people don't care. And most people have iTunes on their phones pre-installed and are accustomed to Spotify.
People have built lists and have their friends on Spotify, and shared lists, that's why Tidal is failing, they got in late. Norwegians don't want to switch from wimp or spotify to the sinking ship that is Tidal either, I think, and Apple apps usually look and feel better and are better integrated to the OS while Tidal and Spotify are kind of ugly.

One question: for single membership, how many devices does it support?

Currently I share iTunes Match with my girlfriend as we use the same iTunes account. Is it the same with Apple Music?
