    Says the same on the UK website. Would be strange if they delayed it.

    It's not really clear if all 100+ countries will be launching simultaneously. Certainly that seems to be Apple's goal but if deals are still being finalised it's possible some countries will be delayed, hence the "coming soon" on all the international sites. We'll have to wait and see.

    Yes I did email them and Yes I did get an answer. So I would appreciate it if you would stop saying false things about me. To reconfirm yes apple said it will launch 2 weeks after the June 30 launch



    Thanks for choosing Apple.
    Hi,

    Yes, Apple Music will be made available in Ireland on a later date than the initial released June 30, 2015 for the first 100 countries.
    Apple Music will be made available in Ireland 2 weeks after the June 30, 2015 released.

    Regards,

    Thanks

    Bit harsh there I think, Apple do this on hardware release so why not on software,maybe in this case not overload the servers completely as everyone "tries it out"....

    it was a bad interpretation on my part, i took that to mean the iTunes Library

    BUt that's what I take it to be as well. Apple Music will give you full access to the full Apple library, for the ones they have streaming deals in place for which I would imagine would be most, even Taylor Swift.

    Unless Apple come to an arrangement with Sonos, I'll be sticking with Spotify.

    Is iTunes Match messed up for anyone else? Metadata is all over the place for me. Artists aren't even showing in alphabetical order.

    What?! No deal with Sonos, that's gonna cost them some customers. As I wrote earlier was already thinking of sticking with spotify (cause half price with vodafone) but this will make it a definite no for apple music.

    It probably makes more sense to focus on growing the userbase through the mobile market first. Then focus on hardware development.

    Apple already have their own version of Sonos in Airplay, but they entrusted the making of the speakers to third party manufacturers. Since Sonos see Apple as a competitor and won’t pay the license to use Airplay, I can’t see Apple being too pushed about throwing Sonos users a bone and adding a third party API for iTunes/Apple Music.

    I guess they could buy Sonos with pocket change, but why would they want the hassle of supporting all those devices and services when it doesn’t benefit their ecosystem. Just because Apple are planning an Android app doesn’t mean they are becoming a services company.

    I can’t see them making their own speakers either. Speakers last for years and unlike headphones don’t tend to break or get lost, where’s the profit? No, all they have to do is take over the streaming market, thereby forcing Sonos out of business (as Jobs would have liked) or into supporting Airplay.

    I think it's fair to call Tidal a disaster at this point. They've just lost a second CEO in as many months.

    Less than a week now, which should mean 8.4 will be released soon. Looking forward to trying it out.

    I was just coming here to post that. I assume it means Apple will be offering an API. I guess there’s too many Sonos users to ignore.

    I'm assuming this will not be available to Irish users when it goes live next week. Have Apple announced a date yet for Ireland officially ? Thanks

    Yeah, but that was over 2 weeks ago. iTunes Support told me last week that it would be same day. The truth is even Apple probably didn’t know at that point, and even if they did, I still wouldn’t trust anything iTunes Support says.

    One advisor (who most likely doesn't have the information) told you that. Everything points to it being available on the 30th June.

    Yes maybe but I'm only trying to inform people on the information I was given. Obviously I would like it to be available on June 30. The way you are talking is as if I don't want it to be.

    Doubt it will be in Ireland on launch. The apple IE site says coming soon whereas the U.S. site says 6-30-15 (crazy date format for 30-6-15). Why would this be different unless it was to lag behind the U.S. launch?
