    I haven't had any problems with playlists. Library syncing is sometimes slow, but that's typical iCloud behaviour. The contextual menus are a very cluttered but have been tidied up a lot in the latest iOS 9 beta.

    I think a lot of issues people are reporting is due to iCloud Music Library not enabling for some reason.

    Seems I may have spoken too soon before.

    Was just trying to add songs to a playlist, it said they'd been added, but when I went into the playlist to play it, only one of the songs was there - the one I'd created the playlist with.

    I could see them then in iTunes and tried syncing, but to no avail.

    Back to Spotify for running!

    Spotify's new Discover Weekly playlists are incredible, seem to know my musical tastes better than I do myself. Don't think I'll bother with Apple Music after all...:P

    Aye. Both are gonna be good for competition. I would say Spotify got a shock at the cancellation numbers that day.

    Not really relevant but just something I've been wondering.

    I wonder how much (if any) of the monthly €$£9.99 sub goes into the pockets of those Beats1 DJs? I'm sure they get a sizeable pay anyway.

    Doubt it's anything. Beats 1 is available to everyone, not just subscribers.

    Beats 1 and its DJs are funded from ads, sponsor mentions and I guess whatever Apple has left after they've paid the music labels, who get 71-73 percent of the revenue from subscriptions.

    They are all on the Apple payroll. It'll be like asking how much of that 9.99 goes to Tim, Jony, Eddie, Angela and so forth.

    I'm sure you can work it out, but you get my point.

    Beats 1 doesn't require a subscription to Apple Music so I'm not sure how that's relevant.

    I said it wasn't relevant, just something I was wondering.

    And on the upcoming Android app a subscription is required in order to play Beats1.

    First I've heard of this. It's free to listen to via iTunes so I see no reason why it wouldn't be free on Android as well.

    From The Verge:
    Where Apple Music users on Apple devices can listen free to radio stations such as BeatsOne with limited skips, Android users of the service have no free tier, and must be paid subscribers to listen to music.

    Worst app update ever! I am tearing my hair out over this new apple music app, awful! It would be fantastic if apple would give users the option to roll back to the previous music app or at least drastically improve the functionality of the new music app. Regret updating to ios 8.4 now..

    Just turn off "Show Apple Music" and "iCloud Music Library".

    about time

    Apple this week appears to have started uploading full “replays” of Beats 1 shows to its Connect social network. Apple Music hosts including Zane Lowe, Julie Adenuga, and Ebro Darden have all shared full, unedited replays of their shows on their respective Connect pages over the past two days.

    This process appears to have started yesterday, without any official announcement by Apple. Prior to uploading full replays, each host would share a playlist with every song that was played during their show. Interviews were also often made available after the fact, as was Zane Lowe’s daily “World Record.” In other cases, however, shows hosted by talent such as Pharrell and Joshua Homme have been uploaded to Apple Music Connect in full following their airing since the beginning.

    Replays have long been a called for addition to Apple Music’s Connect social network, so it’s nice to see that Apple is listening and paying attention to requests from users. It’s odd that, with Lowe, Adenuga, and Darden being the three flagship hosts on Beats 1, replays weren’t previously available, but it’s likely that Apple saw the playlists as an adequate replacement. Replays of shows hosted by other Beats 1 personalities like Travis Mills and Brooke Reese are not available yet, however.

    You can listen to replays for Beats 1 shows on Apple Music Connect now.

    I honestly think at this stage iTunes needs to be redesigned from the ground up.

    It's starting to remind me of Microsoft Office : old, layered on features.

    I've been using apple music for a while now and really like it, but I've got a problem now.
    I tried to add some music (a ripped CD) from iTunes and it wouldn't let me - told me to turn off iCloud music library. I did this and could add music, but now i can't stream any music off apple music - it asks me to sign up for apple music again.

    I don't subscribe to iTunes Match.

    Is there a way of being able to add music from itunes to my iphone, and also being able to stream from apple music?

    Sorry if this has already been asked - I went back a few pages and didn't directly see this problem.

    Thanks,

    Palofmine

    Unfortunately for some silly reason (probably licensing) Apple wont let you stream your own music with Apple Music, you need to have iTunes Match

    Thanks a million for the quick answer. In this case, I was trying to add my ripped CD directly to the on-board storage on the phone, rather than streaming it from anywhere else. Do you mean that apple won't allow this?

    Not true. If you have Apple Music, you don't need iTunes Match.

    In my experience, you can't add music to your iphone from your PC via itunes while icloud music library is turned on. If you turn on icloud music library, then all your apple music offline content is removed from your iphone and you can't even stream music.

    Could you let me know how you get around this?

    Thanks

    Once iCloud Music Library is enabled on all your computers/devices, then syncing music from iTunes to your device is no longer necessary. It will automatically sync via iCloud. You can then either stream or download it for offline listening on your iPhone.

    Tearing my hair out trying to make a playlist this morning. Added a whole album (7 songs) to the playlist, then tried to add more. No more songs going in no matter what I do, even though I get a big 'added' confirmation. Tried adding from Music, tried editing the playlist and adding from there- nothing! It may have been mentioned before- anyone any idea what I am doing wrong before I cry!

    I don't think your doing anything wrong, I think it's just a buggy mess at the moment. Knowing Apple they probably will sort it out but for now I'm personally staying away from putting any effort into playlists etc.

    Thanks- it's driving me crazy! Hadn't made a playlist before so didn't realise how messy the whole thing is...
