Fast download here. Let the complaining begin. Most excitement I've seen about an iTunes update in longer than I can remember...
 
Not available here, disgrace.
Not here either. I got the GarageBand and 10.10.4 updates, that I don't care about, though. And downloading them would take an entire week because Apple servers and fibers are too busy streaming music, pure genius.

Anybody know how to add a family member to Apple Music? I already chose the family plan but they keep getting asked to join one of the memberships?
 
So I get this image when on wi-fi but when I turn off wi-fi I can see the iOS 8.4 update. Turn wi-fi back on and get this image again and the update is not there. I'm on my house wi-fi.

Is there a place where you can dislike something? I know Pandora had an option where you could play more or play less of a specific track. I would think Beats Radio could use it too to get a better idea of what people are digging and what they don't like.

Well, works. Smoothly. And all my iPad playlists that did not appear on the iPhone appeared automatically in iTunes. Perfect.

Now if I can just get my playlists onto the iPhone as well. Turning "iCloud Library" off and on looked promising, but did not yield the expected results.

No, it seems you can do that only on your "own" radio stations that you create from an artist, album or song.
 
It supports up to 10 devices (5 PCs/Macs and 5 mobile devices) but Apple says that you can only use one stream at a time so it behaves the same as Spotify.
Thanks for the clarification!

If we both save songs for offline listening, then we can use multiple devices at the same time (in offline mode), right?
 
Why is it ignorant to want better quality stream?

Its a aac 256kbs, which in 99.5% of listening conditions, equipment and people can't be distinguished from the god damn master tape.

Getting 320mpbs aac or a digital dump of the master tape at the highest sampling rate won't change listening equipment, listening conditions or people's ears.

That's not even taking into account the ridiculous amount of processing music goes through before you even get it.
These days, there's even more processing than before and the digitally modified sound, with very little harmonics, is easier to encode than ever at a lower bitrate.

If they played live miked classical music, or jazz with no further processing, a higher level of encoding might matter. But, for what they're playing, I highly doubt it makes any difference at all no matter the bitrate.

For people that care that much about supreme quality for the genres where it actually matters and have the equipment/room to play it in, you can still buy uncompressed music and play it on your super duper system.

Problems with your house wifi connection seems to the case at first glance. If your mobile connection can see the update, but not your wifi, then something is wrong with your home network connection...

I listen mostly to jazz and classical though, but enjoy a wide variety of music.

Argh! I fixed it! There is actually a switch "Show Music Available Offline" on the Playlists page which was switched on, i.e. only the music available on my iPhone was being shown in the playlists.

Why that switch would actually be ON by default is completely beyond me. On the iPad, it was off by default, so on the iPad, I could see everything.

EDIT: The good news is that this switch also exists on the Library page, and it removes all those single songs that were added to the library when they were added to a playlist.
 
somebody fire eddy cue.... please.... mobile me, itunes match, photos, and now this.... i would even have the skeuromorphic design back if it would make this crap work!
Whats the problem? Everything works for me.
