Apple Seeds Fourth iOS 8.4 Beta With Revamped Music App to Developers and Public Beta Testers

[lagwagon]

They seem to have added in "more of this artist" and "you might like" at the bottom from within viewing an artist album.

Nevermind. It only shows up when you're viewing an album you've purchased, so I don't know if that's new or not. (At I've never noticed it before)

Does anyone know if the new service has classical music? Spotify does but Beats has almost none.

There is a reason it's called 'Beats'.

 

[mcfly88]

The question is what does complementary mean?

I assume that there is no need to have iTunes Match if you end up paying for Apple Music.

Yea, seems a little redundant to have both.

Of course it has classical. It has everything iTunes offerers.

Music App : Songs and album lists look like the keynote screens (no more white). New fonts maybe ?

That's exactly what I was thinking.
They do function differently and I assume under different deals Apple negotiated.

It's probably supposed to match the album art like in iTunes.

Looks really nice with the matching color scheme. although, not too crazy about all the suggestions underneath the album track listing.. feels like advertisements everywhere. Also, its recommending albums I already own (this might be a bug though).

where is it recommending, can't see that, maybe a local issue?

That could be a bug at the movement. That could play into the streaming service once it starts.

It shows more of the artist and suggested artists at the bottom when you view an album you've purchased. I have a screenshot at the top of this page.

Wait - I am a Mac public beta tester. How do I get on the iOS roll?

I think that Apple Music gets its content directly from iTunes so pretty much everything on iTunes will be a part of Apple Music.

Unfortunately not. Apple Music and iTunes will offer different music. We'll have to wait for release to see what music is included.

thanks for the clarification, i was looking at a non-purchased album, looked at a purchased, works fine

Another one : Playlists thumbnails now contains four of the covers of albums in the playlist instead of one.View attachment 559951

Nice Playlist ;-)

Correct

After tapping play on one of the albums suggested that I don't own, it gives me "subscription required to play this", and this is what I get when tapping subscribe:

Not loading yet, but it's there.

 

[perkedel]

have they fixed that arabic unicode bug yet in this latest beta release?

 

[ConnYoungy]

The service includes the entire iTunes store library

 

[MrPomme]

Nice Playlist ;-)

I think this is new. Overlays when you add a song to Up Next. It shows where it's added (top or bottom of the list) :

 

[ConnYoungy]

Really mad they messed with the great and simple Music/Playlists options with all this "for you/radio/whatever else" crap at the bottom.

 

[TruthWatcher412]

Playlists still sync over iCloud in the wrong order. You'd think Apple would be able to sync based off how I have them setup in iTunes.

 

[PBG4 Dude]

There is a reason it's called 'Beats'.

So, no gregorian chant to be found then?

 

[iGeek2014]

Seemingly a new Apple wallpaper? Don't recall seeing that before.

No mention of Apple Music here in the UK. Still references to iTunes Match.

 

[Scarpad]

The app is still poorly designed cannot anyone at apple create a music app that doesn't have a huge amount of wasted space. Look at the amazon music app for prime for IOS it looks a whole lot better than what apple is showing
