Omg who cares what these people think? I'm sure they sleep well on a cushion of money. Where the hell is iOS 9 Beta 5?

That is exactly what I'm talking about. It is an old Wall Street con to place expectations far above any performance level and then short the stock. I'm not saying the Apple board will get grilled but some analysis "experts" may be getting heat.
"He called me and said, 'This is a drag'. I was like, 'Yeah, maybe there's some stuff she doesn't understand'."
I think she had a firm grasp that artists were not being paid during the trial period. Mr. Iovine once again doesn't understand artist's concerns.

Not to speak for the OP, but while it was not intended for the public, her comments about selling Apple watches as what an Apple employee was "born to do" rubbed a lot of people the wrong way.
Apple Music utilizes the same backend as iTunes Genius, which is older than Spotify. It has the entire history of music that I've purchased over the years. It has every song I ever ripped from a disk or pirated. Apple Music isn't Apple's first foray into music - Apple has well over a decade of information on my listening preferences.
If they wanted my data from Spotify too, Spotify has APIs for seeing my listening history. So Apple really has no excuses about insufficient data. If they have insufficient data, it's because they aren't trying to get it. I suspect they do have the data, though, they just suck at managing it and getting valuable insights from it.
I had a Palm Pre and that OS was amazing! It was awesome. So sad it couldn't compete due to lack of Apps
They were so ahead of their time. The phone had a built in wireless charging dock capability and the instance swapping between apps multitasking feature and "cards" to close apps the way apple introduced in recent years. Palm had that back in 2008 or something.
Man it was sad I thought they couldn't been better than Sansung android phones today but aw well.
Apple music is a complete failure, the apple watch is a flop, Apple is nothing without Steve Jobs... Sack Cook immediately.... Shares are down...... Sorry just getting all of that out of the way before the naysayers arrive
We really should start every thread with this, just to be able to move on.
I was around the Palm Pre scene. IMO, that device was a day late and a dollar short. Also, they really screwed up only allowing third party developers to access JavaScript for their apps.
There was no third party API for native code. While the card UI and the wireless charging was great, Palm refused to open these up for independent developers to code "the good stuff." Also many believe there was a Palm sponsored app company in formation that would compete with the very third party developers they promoted to for the platform. (i.e. a Clarius situation)
The whole pre-existing PalmOS API was thrown under the bus abandoning thousands upon thousands of existing applications with no migration path. There was only a poorly ported emulator that did not take advantage of the new UI. From that, most of the existing Palm developer community left the scene and went to other platforms. Most went to the now predominant iOS and Android platforms.
Hundreds of people to create rap/hip-hop experience only??... well, if they're still employees, maybe it's time to let them focus on other genres?! Living in a country where Apple Music subscription is required to listen to anything else than Beats 1, I find it useless. Before Apple Music, I was able to listen to hundreds of different radio stations within iTunes, now I cannot listen to anything and they needed hundreds of people to give me this one radio station I dislike so much.
Second choice? Not sure I understand the question. Would you elaborate a bit. Thanks.
Um... the other stations are still there, and the artist and song stations are still available. Maybe you're having an issue with yours?
If you need help, you aren't being serious... maybe you are a california iovine fanboy...
Mr. Iovine's verbal skill and descriptive prowess are indeed awe-inspiring - I can see why he's the face of Apple Music.
Your purpose in life is to sell the new watch. Or something like that. You were born to do this blah blah. Just a slip of honesty from her majesty the elite to the minions.
Now, let me think. Which one of those deserves the word "elegant" and which one is "sterile"? Hmmmm tough choice...
If you don't live in the United States, an Apple Music membership is required to listen to Apple Music Radio. This applies to almost every country. Some don't even have the option to listen to Beats 1, which is only for rap lovers anyway.
