Probably won't fix the random stuttering. Infuse plays everything smoothly. Hilarious a third party app plays better than the native versions. lol

The stuttering is only a result of poor WiFi connection, usually your ancient router.
The fact tat one program seems to have less issues is most likely caused as the file size is simply very small, so less to transmit.
 
Nothing wrong with them wanting it, but no reason to expect it. It is a commodity device with no guarantee of any future feature. What I find bizarre is people considering Apple Music to be a major feature. It is not a feature at all. It is a for-pay, optional service. While direct support may be a mild convenience, nothing has stopped me from using AirPlay to stream my Apple Music from my phone or iPad to any of my 4 3rd-Gen Apple TV's or my one 4th-Gen. I realize this approach may not be what others expect, it's just the way I like mine to work
You have very low expectations, which is your choice. Apple has invested billions into Apple Music. I'd say it's a feature. And it's not abnormal to expect native support for it. Simply a difference of opinion, but one I suspect most people feel strongly about.
