No love for ios9 users it seems

There’ll be an update for beta users. When is another question.

ec18 · 30-06-2015 4:08pm

Is there an iTunes release to bring apple music in ?

Sad Professor · 30-06-2015 4:08pm

10.10.4 is out as well, folks. I’m not sure if iTunes 12.2 is another download.

FourFourRED · 30-06-2015 4:11pm

First track playing on Beats 1 isn't the best

Loafing Oaf · 30-06-2015 4:11pm

God my phone is slow...:(

Taylor?

DubDJ · 30-06-2015 4:13pm

Yep installed and started the 3 month trial.

Sad Professor · 30-06-2015 4:13pm

They are just testing and playing ambient stuff on Beats at the moment. It doesn’t officially launch until 5, I think.

Simply Red · 30-06-2015 4:14pm

Downloading now OTA

FourFourRED · 30-06-2015 4:18pm

Zane Lowe is talking over the current track they're testing it out while the show is live. Doing mic & sound checks, it's a little odd.

Stupid wifi in work isn't working and i can't update over 4G- even though it's probably faster anyway!!

murpho999 · 30-06-2015 4:21pm

Just to confirm that Apple Music is working in Ireland. My 3 month trial has started.

So much for this "2 week inside info" malarkey.

Clem H Fandango · 30-06-2015 4:21pm

Very, VERY impressed. Songs seem to load faster than they did for Spotify, the few playlists i've scrolled through so far are great and it's super simple to use.

That did make me laugh alright. Wasted energy trying to convince otherwise. Anyways, we have it now so it's all good

SpaceTime · 30-06-2015 4:25pm

the iOS update's taking quite a while to apply on my iPhone 6 ... must be a fairly significant update.

Sad Professor · 30-06-2015 4:33pm

The interface is a big but welcome change from the previously undercooked UI. Having said that, it looks unfinished in places. Maybe it’s just me, but tapping on similar artists doesn’t do anything.

adox · 30-06-2015 4:35pm

cant seem to see my iTunes Match library on my phone.

super_furry · 30-06-2015 4:36pm

I'll be interested to see how it runs on Android. Have two years of Spotify free on my phone contract so I'm unlikely to switch but will definitely check it out.

Select "My Music" bottom right.

peteeeed · 30-06-2015 4:40pm

The curators page looks good . All the major music magazines

brianon · 30-06-2015 4:41pm

iPad 3 with 8.4
App just sits there on a loading screen

SpaceTime · 30-06-2015 4:41pm

Looks pretty good so far.

Didn't find it gave me a selection of artists that I'd be that into in the bubble setup thing. It could be because I haven't "fed iTunes" in a very long time though.

I'll definitely give it a try. Find Spotify keep removing useful features.

Yeah tried that but still not showing. Will check all my settings.

Creamy Goodness · 30-06-2015 4:46pm

Nice try spotify, but I'm out!

peteeeed · 30-06-2015 5:03pm

That had to be the first song?

DubDJ · 30-06-2015 5:27pm

So what was the first song?

Right Turn Clyde · 30-06-2015 5:32pm

How do I get this for my Macbook? Is it through my regular iTunes?

Cheers. The update is available, but it's not coming up under the 'update software' function in iTunes. You'll have to visit the Apple Music site first.

Edit: Sorry, it just forced me to download the same version of iTunes again.

You need iTunes 12.2, which isn’t out yet.

I can't enable iCloud Music Library which is making it impossible to make things available off line ..

... oh it's a server glitch.. Just keep hammering it over and over until it works seems to be the solution.

Worked for me.... eventually :cool:

SpaceTime · 30-06-2015 6:07pm

Is there anywhere to view / adjust the streaming rates?

I'm just going to put on some very good headphones and compare spotify at max stream rate vs Apple Music and see if I can tell the difference..

--- edit ---

Not really hearing much difference at all... certainly none I can hear anyway.

adox · 30-06-2015 6:19pm

Ok so i can't get I cloud music to turn on settings-music so none of my library is available!

Same on iPhone and iPad. Very confusing. Just keep getting a "can't be enabled try later" message.

Edit: as soon as I posted it started working

Spotify streams @320 Kbps I think and I'm sure Apple will stream MP4 at a similar rate so I don't think you would hear any noticeable difference unless you were streaming lossless.

Not working for me either, despite several attempts to select "Merge". Afraid to hit "Replace"...do I need to be subscribed to iTunes Match?

I'm pretty sure you do if you want to access your home library. I subscribe to iTunes Match but it still wasn't working but has sorted itself out now.

Tidal HiFi is a definitely noticeable.

Wonder will Apple do a less lossy version ? I've tons of data allowance and super-fast broadband and would subscribe.

Zapp Brannigan · 30-06-2015 7:37pm

If I could just get the cloud library to work I'd be laughing. Love the UI, slick.

peteeeed · 30-06-2015 7:39pm

Could someone import my spotify playlists over please?

Itunes 12.2 downloading for me now. Not through iTunes or the App Store but by going into the Music section of the Apple website and click on the download link there. Strange that it isn't there as an update.

Might all go pear shaped and stop downloading before I get to the end but I'll let you know.

30-06-2015 7:49pm

Not getting any of the listed sub radio stations to play!

Are you sure it's not 12.1.2? That's all that's showing there for me.

Ah bugger you're right! Damn my eyes seeing what they want to see as opposed to what's actually there

Zapp Brannigan · 30-06-2015 8:03pm

Ok weirdness,

Only on certain artists can I see My Music and All Music. Hopefully just teething issues.

guil · 30-06-2015 8:03pm

Is there a way to copy playlists from spotify?

Worked the second I posted.

Trying to Airplay Apple music from iPad Air to Apple TV. Not letting me do this, same with mirroring

corm500 · 30-06-2015 8:52pm

Also there is no home sharing option in music anymore
