My Apple Music Impressions

My Apple Music Impressions

(updates as they come)

  • catalog is awesome
  • the offering is complicated; my music vs. apple music vs. store
  • can't see all albums unless you follow the artist (bug?)
  • lots of moving parts; leads to a complicated UI
  • mobile app introduces new UI paradigms/patterns
  • setting favorite artists is kinda weird (UI-wise, and data-wise)
  • no way to set profile icon in iTunes (desktop)
  • what does 'following' an artist do? (no, i mean what does it really do?)
  • i like the 'love' button (can't love artists, though?) neat how the rating system is still there (tap song info on mobile). also: applescript
  • only way to navigate to artists is when they're currently playing
  • only place I can tell apple about music I don't like is from profile screen, which refuses to show me more artists.
  • press and hold on rec playlist in for you to rec less like this
    • can do this on device, but not in itunes
  • adding music you don't own to a playlist. Odd
  • the Beatles are not streaming
  • a bunch of songs are not available for streaming (tame impala was, now isn't)
  • poor quality streaming.
  • no folders for apple music playlists
  • clicking back button in 'for you' doesn't retain scroll position
