Apple Releases iTunes 12.2 With Apple Music and Beats 1 Support

OK, so this is really annoying. If lets say I choose a genre and then click on an album so check it out and then click the back button I get ALL THE WAY to the start?! Really stupid unless I am missing something...
 
I don't know what they did, but the UI is lightning fast now. Scrolling is smoother than ever on both my Macs.
 
I'm getting "insufficient in store credit" when I try to enroll for Apple Music in US store. What's up with that? It's free for 3 months, so why do I need store credit? I don't have a credit card on file, I use iTunes gift cards, and I only have 6$ store credit atm. Do I need 9.99$
 
I can't play anything from my music in iTunes, its all greyed out :(
I've tried to remove and then re-add and nothing. My firewall is turned off
Any ideas?
 
Beats1 won't play in my iTunes, not a single channel while it all works great on my iDevices. Seeing some similar problems over the internet. Maybe Apple screwed up this one?
 
WHY Can't i search for music on iTunes?, it only shows me My Music, Playlists, Radio, Connect and iTunes store, wheres the missing tabs?! It all feels unfinished to me

So they just silently add DRM protection to all songs streamed through apple music, or add DRM back to all songs purchased through iTunes store? If the answer is latter, I may consider buying CD or simply downloading songs from somewhere.

I respect copyright, but I am tired about playing with such digital protection mechanism.
 
When i click on a song i bought before i got apple music, it says i can't load it because it was bought with a different apple ID. After that it plays the song from apple music. That only works for songs. When i click on a video i get the same error message and the screen stays black. Anyone else the same problem? I never changed my apple ID, i'm from Germany.
 
Downloading for second time (after a corrupt download the first time) 30 minutes remain - I shall take this time to cancel my Spotify sub.

EDIT: also downloading 10.10.4 which explains perhaps the length of download on weak wifi

You need a CC on file. Same as you do with iTunes Match. I believe you just need one on file to sign up, then can use Store Credit to actually pay for Music. I don't know if you need to keep the card on file permanently or if you can remove it later. I think it's to do with copyright so that (for example) me being in the UK can't use a US iTunes ID with a UK registered card to access US only content. Unfortunately I don't think there's a way around it - you have to put a card on your iTunes account
 
I'm really disappointed by the way Apple Music works. I thought I'd still go to the iTunes Store and look up music and select from there whether I want to buy or add to my Music and stream from there. I've made two accidental purchases as soon as I went on it. Why are they doing it like this...? It's so un-Apple like... and it's definitely not part of the "it just works" philosophy...

Also, not everything in the iTunes store is also available to stream and save in Music which is what they've been shouting about for a while now, well at least I got that impression... but everything I can't stream on Spotify is also missing from Apple Music - although it IS available on the iTunes store, so, perhaps streaming is not the future after all... but either way I think Spotify has nothing to worry about.

I have no idea either. What music are you trying searching for where and why are you getting no search results from the search field?

Yep. I have heard Zane mentioned users should tap in Beats 1 to see if there is localised content. His one is for New York.

Apple always aims at providing localised contents, I think, rather than providing all the same contents around the world, although the price is all the same around the globe.

At least, at this launching period, listening to same contents twice is normal.

What are you even talking about?

1) Beats1 is a live stream that's the same for everyone at the same time. There is NO "localised content"
2) It consists of live shows, programmed by the DJs on the show; pre-recorded shows (pretty much every Artist-hosted show, ala St Vincent's Mixtape Delivery Show) and re-runs of previously aired shows (in particular the main DJs live show from earlier in the day for the benefit of new listeners in other timezones).
3) They WILL play the same song twice, or even multiple times during the day. That's what radio programming is all about: launching exclusives to a broad audience. If they want to hype a song it will be played multiple times daily (even excluding re-runs). In the case of Zane Lowe and his "World Record", he will play it back to back (RELOAD!) just to make a point.

Well no surprises here......another bloody Apple product that doesn't work.
Getting sick and tired of this.

It works on my iPhone and iPad, but iTunes forget it. I can't add music, iTunes keeps crashing and i can't see any of my Apple music on iTunes.

Well done apple another rushed product :( YOU SUCK

So, seems that what I heard from beats 1 is incorrect.
And I have incorrect understanding of live radio, and what beats 1 radio station would probably do.
OK.
I end up here.
I just want to use this radio station to explore music.

And you can. I've listened all day and I am mightily impressed. Music selection is a pleasant mix of classics, esoteric music I'm surprised they would play on a mainstream radio, and new music I've never heard before. A good selection of the latter I've added to my library/wish list.
