I've been using Apple Music since it launched and I've still got a wishlist of features that have not been addressed. Starting to wonder if I am the only one who wants these things but they seem like a no-brainer to me.
1. Browser based / web (not flash) / app-free player:
When I'm at work I cannot install iTunes. So I'm forced to use Spotify Web Player and don't have access to my library, apple music exclusives, my playlists and I have to listen to ads.
Why hasn't this come yet?
2. Notifications when followed artists add new music.
Connect is not catching on, following artists for twitter style posts just seems useless. I want to get a notification when a new single / album / video is released or even the option to auto-add new music from certain artists would be great.
Sometimes a new single is released from an album, I'll add the available tracks, once the full album comes out I do not get notified, and when I add the rest of the album it does not get bumped up to the top of my recently added section? Really annoying.
3. Being able to download on-demand past Beats 1 / Apple music radio shows to my library.
I never catch when shows I want to listen to are on live (hi 2.) and the only option for listening to the on-demand shows is streaming them. I want to download these like tracks.
4. Better management of my iTunes Match / library iCloud music:
I can't easily see what from my iTunes managed to upload correctly and can't even seem to click a button to re-attempt the upload. It has simply given up with putting certain tracks of mine into the cloud.
Anyone else got things they'd like or share desire for these features?
I love the service but some major kinks in it for sure.
Maybe they're resolving some of this with the new iOS / macOS updates and I just missed it. I don't see them showing much concern over addressing any of this though.
