yeah, I know. The point is this launch is really confusing because they are launching like three things which are branded Apple Music. You have Beats1, Connect, Subscription (Streaming + Match). The Beats1 + Connect part will almost certainly launch in 100 countries. Not convinced about the streaming part, though. Germany landing page still says "Kommt bald" which is really strange if it's supposed to launch in 2 days. We'll see.
Got a tip for us?

Look at the apple website in your country when there's a music button and there is comming soon then this country will get apple music on June 30!
That sounds like a good idea, be your name Taylor Swift or something else.
I will continue to believe that Apple Music is not coming to Canada until there is an official announcement from Apple as we got shafted before from Apple (iTunes radio for one). I would suggest that everyone else outside of the USA don't get excited since they could be in for a big letdown on Tuesday.
No, I doubt they will launch only a part of the package, because even certain essential parts of Apple Connect depend on an Apple Music membership. If they are not going to launch the whole package in "100 countries" on Tuesday, then they have managed to miscommunicate this in a major way.
Eh, I have a US iTunes account anyway and had for years. I've found it's the best way to buy stuff/use Apple services, since it has more music than my store and I can use iTunes Radio. I have a secondary Apple ID for my country but that's only for subscribing to the dev program.
I doubt AM doesn't launch in 100 countries on Tuesday though.
Exactly, actually they only announced Beats 1 to start in all these places, not Apple Music. But I hope they were just unprecise on that.
But we all know what happened with iTunes Radio, right?
It surely is a difference if only the U.S. page says available 30th of June, while for all other countries it just states coming soon, right? Nevertheless we will find out soon.

Sonos + AM confirmed (end of year): http://9to5mac.com/2015/06/28/apple-music-coming-to-sonos-speakers-asap-says-ian-rogers/
They should release the software on Monday... If they don't, this release will break the internet on Tuesday lol.
I still have issues with 10.10.3 and wifi. So when does 10.10.4 launch? Or will the next iTunes not require it ? Could be thats unrelated to beats1
This is some funny stuff. Apple said during the keynote that it'll be available in over 100 countries at launch. You don't believe Canada will get Beats 1 on the 30th? Wow.
Nope, look what happened to iTunes radio. Apple said it was coming...and it never came. When it comes to music services & new features, Canada seems to be the last country to get it. Look at Google music, that never came for a long time until it finally came. I bet that service was available in 100 countries before Canada got it.
Ios 9 is awesome, as a tester the things they added/tweaked is perfect. The new music/beats 1 blows, ****** music, bring back the itunes radio and get rid of that new crap
Where have they said it will come to Sonos?
Edit aha http://9to5mac.com/2015/06/28/apple-music-coming-to-sonos-speakers-asap-says-ian-rogers/
Actually, I don't. Did Heise say it would arrive in Germany, but it didn't?
I don't think Apple ever said "iTunes Radio coming to 100 countries on <Date>".
Trent went to Jony Ives University for speaking, heh.
I do think it's cool Apple may allow music to bloom again. We are in such a stale zone right now. The big labels are only backing the "115% trendy" music and even then no where near enough. They want or require too much money to make it happen. So many great artists are languishing. I hope this allows everyone's art to finally evolve and explode.

I think when i can pay for icloud subscription with voucher then apple music too?
That would be good as you can always pickup cheap iTunes vouchers if you shop around.
So, this is not official enough?!

If not, then you're just being daft. They cannot release part of it. It's all or nothing. Fully integrated.
See the link above. Apple clearly state Apple Music will launch on 30th June.
As for iTunes Radio, that was obviously put on hold to do this.
iTunes Radio is part of it, In the radio tab, you get what was iTunes Radio, plus Beats1
