Maybe Apple could focus all their machine learning expertise to improve Siri’s speech recognition. Yesterday I was wearing AirPods while riding my bike (off-road). After a double tap on my AirPod...
Me: “Volume up”
Siri (after a short delay): “One option I see is Tire Barn on National Road, do you want me to call that one”?
Me: “No”
2nd try. After a double tap on my AirPod
Me: “Volume up”
Siri: “calling Jim *******, mobile”
Me: “Volume up”

You think you hate it, you don’t know you secretly love it, after hearing it 50x from radio. Then you start to thing it is not bad and down the drain you go.
Repeating is a mother of brainwashed wisdom.

That is why I use only a really small generator
So Apple bought Asaii with the intent of saving the world from another Justin Bieber. Kudos Apple, I commend your humanitarian work.
Hey, you!!! Get out of here with your logic and common sense. If we don't like something or something going on doesn't fit our emotional narrative then it's bad and should be eradicated.
Also, where is my 17" MBP and Cheese grater aluminum Mac Pro already!!!!
*shakes fist at the heavens*
One of the big reasons why I left AM.
I'm not into hip-hop at all, there's nothing that I did to give AM any hint that I was, yet I got the Drake album promoted to me in 'For You' in the hero position.
Obviously this was part of a promo deal between AM and Drake's label, but it makes 'For You' a joke.
As to this purchase:
- I guess this means 'For You' may get better.
- I suspect that it's going to be used to provide leverage with record companies regarding promoting their acts on Beats 1 etc.
- Also it might come in use if you were thinking of setting up your own label...
And lastly, I'm assuming that with Marzipan, the Apple Music app (and Podcasts) will become the default music app on macOS with the UX nightmare iTunes being relegated to 'legacy' functions - ITMS and curating your own collection (and in the process of slimming down, probably going back to being OK to use).
Maybe then I'll give AM another look in about 12 months.
"... a Music Analytics Platform 'Able to Find the Next Justin Bieber"
lets hope it has the smarts to squash him/her from the get-go.
Sounds like it would be better at finding "influencers" than whatever you want to call Bieber.
Also, I'd be concerned that it ends up being very biased - probably the biggest way being ageist, but also racist and sexist among other things.
Nuke it from orbit, it's the only way to be sure.But imagine what you could do if you could find him first.
if only the places I frequent would warrant such theme. Probably normal life in Apple's neighbourhood.

You may have a point but my head is so close to exploding the moment one of those crappy tracks starts. by the time I have listened to a full song, I am likely dead.
So this software can identify a pretty boy or girl that once aggressively Autotuned makes them sound like they can carry a tune while giggling their butt in front of a camera?
That's what "success" means in today's music industry, not the quality of their music or vocal talents.

First, G spot in men’s anus, then creation of Justin Beaver. I sometimes wonder what is God up to
I feel your pain, that is why I avoid any kind of radio. Just sit on a comfy chair with spot of tea, playing Hell To The Liars by London Grammar.
COMPLAINT CORNER
As for rnb, hip hop, rap, why are we forced a non music? Somebody saying YOYO to one loop and talking about his superiority, not for everyone. Nowadays pop “music” is mostly like a really rubbish karaoke with overpaid children with bad behaviour.

SPOTLIGHT, command + delete, secure empty trash
You're assuming most people over 30 didn't loathe Queen when they were a thing.
I dont understand why Apple didn't acquire Pandora. Its algorithms and ability to point you to new music is so eerily correct. I may subscribe to streaming services like Spotify but those are mostly music I know about. I still keep a subscription to Pandora to get new recommendations that none of the other streaming services seem to do as well even and especially Apple Music.
The difference is that Queen, or rather their frontman, were an iconoclastic talent for the ages.
JB is a manufactured twit you could render on Rhino and emulate on a voice distortion app.
Even if they did, they wouldn't use Pandora's software to improve their own software.
