It would be the winner to me, if it had an iPad/desktop app, a radio function, and the curated playlists were longer than an hour. It's, unfortunately, not a service you can fire up and kinda forget about.

I didn't care for it. If I wanted to listen to Alternative it would show me a bunch of play lists with like a dozen songs on it. 
I'll stick to Spotify and Pandora One. I use Pandora One to discover new music and then add the tracks I like into Spotify and keep it on my phone.

That's the other issue. The playlists themselves are great, they're just really short. Spotify's playlists are HOURS long, plus if you use something like Lazify you can toss a song you like and boom, there's 8 hours of similar music.
In what sense? They don't have a radio feature, so if you're talking about its "Just For You" suggestions, yes, those are good, but only if you happen to be sticking with well known artists.
Well 3 months later, I'm still going strong.
Although, there are still occasional glitches, I'm still enjoying the service very very much.
I honestly think that Spotify users, have Beats Music to thank for the MUCH NEEDED update to Spotify back in April.
Still, however, after opening up Spotify again recently, I see how sterile the app is, and lacks personality. Beats Music on the other hand is just more friendly and inviting.
With Apple possibly acquiring Beats Music, I wonder what this would mean for Android Beats Music listeners!? Or would Apple leave it as a stand alone service!?
There's a reason Apple has interest in Beats and not Spotify... Beats was built in the same vein as an Apple product.
I mean just look at Beats Music website, and tell me that doesn't look like an Apple web page!?
Anyway, now that Beats Music is a little bit older now, and a lot of trials are over for the service what are your thoughts!? Particularly want to know those thoughts, from paying subscribers of either!?
