I always wait a few days before applying major iOS upgrades to avoid the rush and long download times. Smaller updates haven't been as problematic, but I think this one will attract more attention on launch day. Looking forward to exploring the new music service, though.
Got a tip for us?

The UK says the same. We're getting it Tuesday, so will Canada. They're launching in 100 countries on 30th June. You're being ridiculous if you think Canada will not be one of them....
Maybe this link will put your mind at ease....

So if you subscribe to Apple Music you don't need an iTunes Match subscription. But will Apple still offer iTunes Match for those who choose not to subscribe to Apple Music?
That's the songs that Apple does not already have. I have hundreds more CDs than most people and my collection once ripped into iTunes is only 9k songs. Very few of those Apple doesn't have. Non-issue to almost anyone.
That's great news, even better than Beats 1 or Apple Music's arrival. I've been toying the line with the iTunes Match limit for some time, so I'll be glad when they finally expand the number of songs they allow. Google recently went from 20k to 50k, but their service is free.
As per Apple's site, Apple Music and iTunes Match are independent.
It would be magic to be on my way and ask Siri to play, lets say the top 40 songs of the summer of 1995 in the Netherlands. Or the best hiphop songs of the 00's. Make Siri a personal DJ and I'll give you my money.
But if you subscribe to Apple music you don't also have to pay for iTunes Match.
You didn't mention the slowdown as the site would probably be overloaded.
But I don't care when I update since I really don't care about this Beats thing.
Apple Music duplicates iTunes Match, but as Apple says, they're independent, which means you pay separately. I've cancelled my iTunes Match, so it won't renew, but sadly will have a period of crossover from what's been paid already.
For now, I would take it to mean it never goes off the air, not necessarily live DJ's 24/7.
Just so you know, this response is not related to what I said, that you quoted.
i have iTunes Match til november and i wonder if i have to rematch and reupload everything for Apple Music or will it just migrate it over?
I'm presuming it will migrate over. They say it uses the same features of iTunes Match, would be silly to duplicate that.
What I am wondering is what will happen to iTunes Radio. I got it commercial free for being an iTunes Match Subscriber.
I care. Not for Beats, but for Up Next. Music should've had that three years ago.
