Apple Music - anyone heard of it? Or not, I don't care.

also, for those who have been using apple music, is there a way to get notifications when a particular artist has something new?

no but you get a notification when an apple bug deletes all your local music

the ios app is infinitely more robust, but occasionally it'll refuse to play certain songs and i need to restart my phone. 'my favourites mix' is pretty good apart from being moderately repetitive and giving me the same fennesz song every fucking week (unloving it seems to have kept it away).

ON IPHONE 6 i'm forever having to tap screen elements 2–3 times before they fire, but i have ui issues with springboard too so it's probably just ios 10 being laggy on old iphones.

can someone explain why the search function takes forever sometimes

because this world is your own personal hell that you've created....
now you have a choice: you can stay here, and have access to millions of songs at your fingertips but it's all a LIE.. or you can take the red pill and i'll show you how to use some other app bc fuck apple lol

why do some albums have random missing songs?

Broke w Expensive Taste is missing Idle Delilah (Spotify has it)

the Goofy Movie soundtrack is missing Stand Out?????? (meanwhile Spotify is missing Stand Out too so idk, why would one song my Tevin Campbell be on the OST but another song of his has licensing issues?)

I saw a woman using this ON ANDROID today. Who even? I mean what?

sample clearances or label disputes xp

when I'm in the office I use apple music on my work phone (galaxy) so that if I get phone calls while listening to music I don't have to switch headsets. I had googled "apple music android" on my phone preparing to look for some 3rd party app that would let me do it, it didn't occur to me that apple actually had an android app too.

Leaving one album track out might be some sort of tactic to encourage people to buy the whole thing (tho this might make more sense if several tracks were omitted).

so, I searched for the album in apple music to see if it prompts you to buy the song in the error message, and when I pulled up the album Idle Delilah is there! And included and playable.

But when I opened the album through my library (via artists, or albums, or whatever) Idle Delilah is grey and when I click on it it says "Item Not Available: This item can't be played". So I deleted it from my library and readded it, now everything is there. Weird. you can all rest easy tonight knowing the entire album is confirmed as available and intact.

As for Stand Out...I feel like my theory that Prince ghostwrote the Tevin Campbell songs on the OST totally explains this; wherever there's Prince there's contractual issues.

Valerie 68 isn't on Lioness (Amy Winehouse) for some reason which is really annoying.

it's never the crappy throwaway bonus track that no one likes that has the "contractual issue"

Anyone tried out much Dolby Atmos-mastered stuff? Anything interesting over regular versions?

I'm playing around with this on headphones and a USB DAC to headphone amp. There's this bit on Tiesto's "BOOM" that goes in a circle around your head. I guess they could've done it on the regular master, but it's pretty flat there.

The new Billie Eilish album seems better with some added breathing room. But most of what's available sounds worse.
