Too think I was going to temporary cancel Google Music and try Apple Music thinking that AM had more songs but they actually have less than even Google Music. I am defiantly keeping Google Music as I have been listening to it more and I might not even try Apple Music at all.

I know realize why I "hate" Apple Music and it's because of ever changing interface.
Most of the old stuff is still there, they just hid it in a different place and I would totally be cool with  Music if I could customize it and throw on a "Classic iTunes" skin.

I don't hate Apple Music but I'll post about this particular annoyance.

One thing I don't like about it, although I suppose that I "get" the reasons behind it, is the device dependency of downloaded Apple Music. I mean you can't download something to one device and then copy it to another of your gear. Your library may show it as an Apple Music pick but it's in the cloud if you haven't downloaded it to that particular device.

Maybe I don't care about that too much for the few things I've downloaded for offline use on my phone and iPod touch or iPad, but when I set up a newer laptop I had to redownload whatever I wanted of a substantial collection of downloaded classical picks from Apple Music.

OK so it wasn't like having to BUY it again... but my DSL is slow sometimes even in the off-prime hours, and when I go to play something I'm annoyed if I see the cloud symbol on my selection.

Are you an :apple:Music masochistic? :eek: You started this thread a year ago when :apple:Music was first released. So you have "completely" hated :apple:Music for >365 days and but you still use it?:confused: You HAD to use it while hating all this time in order to "realize" WHY you hate it?:rolleyes: Life is WAY to short to spend hating so why not move on and maybe seek help for your self destructive behavior. :D

I don't hate Apple Music, but its app is not good. Many bugs, too short playlists, botched radio stations and incomplete search engine with too limited results are some things that annoy me. Spotify's app, for instance, is much better.

But the Apple Music's catalog is more complete than Spotify. At least in my country. The releases come first on Apple Music. That's the main reason why I keep my subscription.

If people don't rant on about it, nothing will ever get fixed.

I've used apple's feedback many, many times for other apps and nothing gets fixed.

Only when there is an outcry do Apple listen.

Apple Music is woeful at the moment.

People, keep on ranting!


What's to fix ? Its a user personal view. ya send feedback, but if it's a problem.

Switching back and fourth I am staying with Apple Music because now they have some older albums that Play Music does not have. I loved Play Music however YouTube Red is not worth squat but I had it before YouTube. I am staying with Apple Music for good because the Android app is much more stable now and now they seem to have more albums and songs. Some grayed out tracks are no longer grayed out anymore which makes me think they will have the most songs out of Play Music and Spotify and soon to be the late Prince once they buy Tidal.

I only have an Apple Music subscription because its catalog is better. Spotify is so popular here in Brazil, but Apple Music has more rock albums, artists and songs, as the new Bob Dylan's album and Oasis' album Heathen Chemistry.

But Spotify's app is fantastic. I love its search engine and the possibility of control a device from another. I really hope that Apple improves the app ASAP.

Ok, that's it! I switched back to Spotify from Apple Music after one year. I'm seeking a better experience. Apple Music is a promising service, but currently it looks like more a beta version.
