OK, fair enough - still think there must be some difference between the two - how old do you need to be to sign up for Sirius? Is Sirius worldwide? I just think there must be some broadcasting rules in at least some parts of the world preventing the broadcast of some stuff, at least at some times of the day.
I know in an ideal world censorship wouldn't be needed, but its difficult to disagree that songs with with strong foul language shouldn't be played when there are likely to be kids listening.
Really? I thought they were really really succinct & abbreviated. Lowe even said they moved the Eminem interview to tomorrow to focus more on the tracks today.
I thought Apple was going to dump the "Beats" name, along with the logo.. Someone change their mind?
I'm personally enjoying her show.
No I wasn't, I was just going off the posted playlist. Maybe pop isn't the right genre. But to me, it's all garbage. I guess I should've expected it, and I think my gripes are more with the music industry that produces that crap than the radio stations that play it.
come on ... you're stealing from T Shift & not buying her "music" ???!!! (lol #sarcasm )
but ... 1st hour was ... very "euro", but honestly, mostly good, today music & different from: regular radio, even Sat radio
ps: you can FF on spottily
ps2: i've created a feel good music of all times playlist from ray charles, the clash to the heavy:

(based on top of all times from Billboard and Rolling Stone, so very american)
You can't "heart"/"star" songs that are playing on this Beats 1 channel to save them like Spotify? The icon is there but it doesn't do anything. Unless I am missing a short cut or doing it wrong.
Edit:
I tried to search the song though music and it wasn't there so it would make sense that you can't favorite a song that isn't in the store.

I don't know - 26 tracks in a two hour show seems pretty good.
I guess it depends what people prefer though - half the point of listening to radio rather than your own music is to have a bit of talk. But its hardly talk radio, and its all about the music.
Weird. He didn't talk for more than two minutes the whole show.
Freedom has been the most repeated song so far. It's not a bad song, but I can only hear a song so many times. Loving the radio show overall
Re: 2. Live video
Why not do this? Just because it's "radio" doesn't mean it has to apply the rules of 1942.
I think live video will add a futuristic feel and I rather see that than artwork from the last played.
BTW anyone know what song was playing during the first hour with the female rapper?!!
Lack of song history is irritating!!!
Here's a list someone put together from the start. Not sure if it has who you're looking for though...
Spring City — King
Beck — Dreams
Jamie xx — Gosh
Skepta — Shutdown
ACDC — For Those About to Rock
Hudson Mohawke — Warriors
Pharrell Williams — Freedom
Courtney Barnett — Dead Fox
The Chemical Brothers — Under Neon Lights
Shamir — On the Regular
Bully — Trying

Go here https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...eats-1-and-revamped-music-app.1896157/page-33. That's where I found the list but if you go forward or back some pages you might find a more complete list.
They couldn't even get that right with their own Beats app, let alone Spotify. All of my beats playlists were imported, but were empty. Then to top it off, you can't access the Beats app any more to view the songs. However I just figured out that I can sign in online still through Safari, and view my playlists to at least see some of the music that took me a bit longer/luck to find.
Get all the best censored content streamed to your phone! Just not the way the artists intended!! Ugh, I'm an adult in the internet age, they should do better.
That is the idea. They will pay Kabye like a fiddle and have him bitch about how Beats 1 sucks. More publicity!
So this setlist is "all mainstream pop garbage":
Spring City — King
Beck — Dreams
Jamie xx — Gosh
Skepta — Shutdown
ACDC — For Those About to Rock
Hudson Mohawke — Warriors
Pharrell Williams — Freedom
Courtney Barnett — Dead Fox
The Chemical Brothers — Under Neon Lights
Shamir — On the Regular
Gallant — Weight In Gold
Chet Faker — Bend
Royal Blood — Little Monster
The Weeknd — Can’t Feel My Face
Jack Garrat — Weathered
Dr. Dre — Let Me Ride
Slaves — Cheer Up
Stromae — Tous les mêmes
Day Wave — We Try But We Don’t Fit In
Pharrell Williams — Freedom
Eminem — Phenomenal
A$AP Rocky — L$D
Elliot Moss — Slip
Denney — Low Frequency (Clayx & Teebee Mix)
Wolf Alice — You’re a Germ
Låpsley — Falling Short
Like, seriously?
When you say "they just don't", did you mean to say "they just haven't in the first few hours"?
Thanks for the link! Its much more bearable than having full on adds.
