Endless Mike posted:It seems that anything it can *match* to the Apple Music library (which is NOT the full iTunes library) will be instantly available, but this might NOT include everything in YOUR library. (The Beatles are a notable exception every article brings up.) From http://www.apple.com/music/membership/ quote:With an Apple Music membership, your entire library lives in iCloud. We compare every track in your collection to the Apple Music library to see if we have a copy. If we do, you can automatically listen to it straight from the cloud. If you have music that’s not in our catalog, we upload those songs from iTunes on your Mac or PC. It’s all in iCloud, so it won’t take up any space on your devices. That really sounds like it does everything Match does, including uploading stuff that's not in their library.

Hm, true. I wonder if it requires iCloud space or if it's part of the service like it is with Match.

iTunes Match also acts as kind of an amnesty service too though iirc, like you get to download and keep whatever stuff gets matched in higher quality. The question for me is where DRM comes into play for Apple Music since presumably there's something there for the offline functionality to work

I really hope that works exactly how it sounds. I was slightly miffed about the prospect of giving them $10 a month and still having to pay the $25 a year for Match on top of that. Not super angry or anything, because whatever, $25 a year is cheap, but if I don't and can still get all the functionality of Match with just the Apple Music sub, I'm pretty stoked.

This was kicked around in the WWDC thread, and I think that's my conclusion as well. There still *some* Apple Music features for the free tier, but storing your library in iCloud isn't one of them. I'm pretty sure that's the "they compliment each other" part. I already have Beats Music, so my account gets converted at the end of June, but I'm hoping I still get credit for the free introduction period for Apple Music. Regardless, having the iCloud library storage for streaming and the availability of all of Apple's music library(except maybe some artists here and there) pretty much seals the deal. Their library dwarfs any other (legal) streaming services. Proteus Jones fucked around with this message at 00:54 on Jun 11, 2015 |

If they are trying to make Match and Music compliment each other, I'm worried that Music's storage is going to take up the already sorta limited iCloud space. Fingers crossed it is essentially a full-on replacement for Match!

I really don't think it'll use your iCloud, especially as I'd say most people (myself included) are using the paltry 5gb option.

Has it been said whether Apple Music has the same 25K song limit as iTunes match? I'm not looking to discuss whether anyone "needs" that much music. It's just that if I have to start picking and choosing what to include from my library, I'm not gonna be interested in the service. The selling point seems to be the convenience of having ALL your stuff available.

For me it worked out to about 1200 songs out of over 10,000 when iTunes Match started. So unless your library is full of things like field recordings you took of Tuvan Throat Singers, you're probably going to be fine.

Even still, if it switches to what you're saying with Apple Music (which makes plenty of sense), 25k should be pretty extraordinary unless your library is, yeah Tuvan throat singers and 2 hour EDM mixes.

Well it already doesn't upload songs that match regardless of where you bought them. But from the wording on the iTunes Match page, if you bought the songs from say, Amazon, you get access to the iTunes store version for iCloud storage and it counts against your 25K total.

Yes, but that's iTunes Match. This is a streaming service. So you're already paying them $10 a month to get access to the songs in their streaming library, so why would it count stuff you are already paying to get access to against your song limit?

Heres a question for you app devs: Say I have an iPhone app. If I turn that iPhone app into a universal app, and the current user upgrades to the new version of the app, will the iPad version automatically be installed (provided the user has an iPad and automatic downloads turned on)?

Automatic Download only picks up new purchases. So no, if this is an update to an existing app, it won't appear on the iPad by itself.

It pretty much never comes up in the discussion here, but it's what I used because it worked with the paid (passworded) podcast I subscribed to and had iOS / OSX sync. That sucks.  An update just came out like two or three days ago, too. Now I don't know what to use. I have paid for Overcast but it doesn't work with passworded podcasts well and the web client sync was terrible.

Not sure if this is what you mean by Overcast not working "well", but it's possible to put your login credentials in the feed address by manual adding the URL and doing something like "http://username:password@https://www.giantbomb.com/podcast-xml/premium/". It's far from ideal, but it's something.

Absolutely tried it, it would do one of either two things: successfully get the list of podcasts (which meant it was accessing the rss file or whatever) but never actually be able to load an episode, or load 1-2 episodes and then completely fail to ever update again. edit: and it should be noted that Instacast also loses its login credentials every week or so, but at least it prompts you to re-enter them because it had a mechanism for doing so. Since Overcast requires that URL trick, it doesn't have any way of doing so when there's a problem. POCKET CHOMP fucked around with this message at 17:26 on Jun 14, 2015 |

Does anyone know of a free OBD reading app that works with a bluetooth based scanner? I'm finding plenty that work with a wifi one but none that work with bluetooth scanners. Barring that, anyone know of a free windows program that'll work with a bluetooth scanner?

Which bluetooth scanner? If it's the elm, no apps will work because the phone itself can't even connect to it. If it's the gopoint bt1 I have one of those and use it with dash command. I believe it's the only bluetooth one that works with iOS, but it's a bit pricey.

I believe it's the only bluetooth one that works with iOS, but it's a bit pricey. Dash Command switched to $10 w/IAP for some specific manufacturer years so I guess it's not that pricey anymore I guess. OBD Fusion is another one but it doesn't mention the BT1, just wifi and Automatic and LElink adapters. The dev seemed pretty responsive when I asked about some stuff so you could ask him. Back to adapters for a sec, I got the second gen Automatic one a little while back, $100 but there's $20 off coupon codes that are easy enough to find. A bit sketchy since they released with a limited OBD stack (to be rectified soonish supposedly) and they have some startup connection issues, but the tracking is kinda neat if you have a use for it. If you're interested I'd still wait a bit till they get those issues resolved though.
