Glad sound quality wasn't mentioned at all with a music service.

Apple: a new "revolutionary" music service
Google play music: we had that shit alredy
Spotify: bitch please!!


[jetlag]

$10 for Android users is a stupid price considering Spotify is free.
And since Spotify said that they'll match Apple Music's family pricing, I don't see why anyone would make the change.
Oh wait, I can. Sheeple.

I thought about making a controversial post but nah... Not worth it

[HunterRodrigez]

"well this looks interesting iam going to check it out" (opens app and immediately sees Taylor Swift) "nevermind..."

My first impressions have been positive. The UI can be a little confusing at times, but I'm quickly getting used to it. Regarding sound quality, I don't think I could tell the difference between Apple Music and Spotify, even with my good cans on hooked up to an amp. In that situation, I would most likely use my ALAC files or listen to vinyl anyway. I won't get too nitpicky when listening through earbuds on my phone. Overall I wouldn't say it's revolutionary, but it's a nice, well-rounded package that I may or may not pay for.

First time I've heard the word "cheaper" on an Apple product video.. that was actually describing the Apple product

Something to note: if you try to add any songs or albums to your library the service will ask you to either; a. Replace your library with online selections or b. Merge your online and local selections together. I don't know of the financial ramifications, but i had problems doing so. After a few tries I managed to aggregate the content, but know there may be hiccups in the process. Also Connect does not refresh as often as I'd like but that may change in later updates.

[duh]

I just moved over to the iPhone 6 Plus for the Apple Watch. I moved from a Samsung Galaxy Note 3. I am most likely the only person that used Milk Music but coming from that to Apple I really like this Apple Music. I am trying out the 3 month trial but I haven't personally purchased a music streaming plan what so ever. I never used Spotify.

I love it when the ending theme just plays out in the end slowly. :)

Apple Music price in my country is bout $3.99/mthly

[EwOLNATION]

There is no "but". Spotify is still the best music service out there. Wont be using this.

[martinbernal]

After the free trail does it just start the membership without asking? Please answer

[drakedoggy]

the fact that this is an all in one app with my music  ...
its great =)

[PatrickJGamboa]

does listening to the song offline stores music data onto your iphone (or ipad) for example?

[liljunior]

This this app allow me to download songs and have them in my music library?

[scriptblaster]

Can you save for offline? like spotify

[BojanTomic]

Nice video! :D
Won't be using this, though.

[SrchangwaytogoC]

Google Play Music for the most understated music streaming service. 320kbps, best radio algorithm in town and great UI

The "tell us what you're into" section has "electronic music".
i'm guessing it's a mix of dubstep, progressive house and big room.
Good job at being specific, Apple...
