I'm assuming it's the servers being hammered but my local stuff is syncing with iCloud Music in iTunes--the stuff that's uploaded is showing on my phone, but it's all greyed out. Am I missing something or should I just give it a bit of time for everything to calm down?

App Store the app seems completely down for me at the moment. My guess is a server farm is on fire somewhere. Try again tomorrow, I guess.

It took me 2 hours after work for the the OS and iTunes update to show up in "updates". I think their servers are taking a shellacking. Wander over the OS X thread, the combo update link is there in the last page or so (at least for OS X, not sure about iTunes)

Uh, so adding things to my library does nothing. I don't even have an option to LOOK at an iCloud library. Just my offline stuff, and then anything I search for.

It seems aside from Beats 1, this is otherwise just the same product formerly labelled iTunes Radio. It's pretty good, although it still needs a bit more development to compete with Songza, which is probably going to be wrapped into Google Music now that it's not a paid feature in that app. Sometimes I like to mentally pretend I'm at Disney World, so just take Disney stuff for a weird niche: Songza has stations for classic Disney film soundtracks, a station just the 90s films like Toy Story and Aladdin, and the modern teenie-bopper stuff. It's a good, accurate categorization for the different levels of nostalgia/fandom in their works. Apple has a all-purpose Disney station, a Frozen station, and a "Princesses" station. They all basically play stuff from the past ten years, with one of them giving me classics as well. If that criticism sounds odd, keep in mind that soundtracks are one of the few categories where curated playlists like this really matters. Most artists will have an alright station simply by doing the Pandora thing of entering their name into search and playing "[Artist Name Here] Radio". EDIT: This update did do a good job showing you all the curated playlists in the Radio app, though. Formerly you really had to dig around through all the categories and sometimes just search and randomly find one. Craptacular! fucked around with this message at 02:47 on Jul 1, 2015 |

On a radio note, I tried out iTunes artist radio back when it first came out like a year ago or whatever and the selection was laughable at best (putting hardcore jungle drum and bass tracks in with italodisco artists) and I wrote it off as Pandora and even Spotify were much better. Seems like having a year to aggregate data helped because the same couple stations I've just checked out again and the selection is much more tuned to the artist.

One improvement to the radio side of things is that with an Apple Music subscription you get unlimited skips. That was my biggest annoyance with iTunes Radio. I'm the kind of person who can skip through 20 songs before finding one I want to listen to.

Am I missing something very obvious. I went through my Google play library and added all my artists (was surprised that they had all the artists but a handful of albums were not on Apple) and I was looking for a way to shuffle play all my library. That's what I do a lot with Google play when I get in the car and drive and don't know what to play. Just shuffle my entire library. But I'm not seeing where in Apple Music.

Here's (possibly) a dumb question - is it still possible to sync music to an iOS device when Apple Music is enabled? One of the biggest reasons I never used iTunes Match was that I've pretty meticulously managed my library and often had specific pressing of albums that I wanted (e.g. pre- Loudness Wars), and I also apply ReplayGain adjustments to ensure volume consistency between albums. I know there were ways to avoid this with iTunes Match (by disabling the service, syncing, and reenabling), but I'd prefer something officially supported.

This is niche enough that I think the answer is no. There is an "iCloud music library" switch in Music settings though - no idea what happens if you turn that off but leave Apple music on.

Having to manually reapply adjustments to every single track isn't really a great solution to his question.

I don't know if this is because I turned I off, but I'm able to sync my phone and still access Apple Music by turning off Cloud Music Library in Settings. I've avoided iTunes Match since it turned a lot of my rap songs into clean versions (also, it's not good about play counts and can break a lot of playlists). Speaking of which, has anyone played around with integrating Music tracks with their local library in smart playlists?

You can still pull albums from Apple Music that catch your ear, but it won't sync across with your at-home library, if that makes any sense. Honestly, I'm more impressed with the Radio stations and how well curated they are. That's what's impressed me most about Apple Music so far. Have we figured out what "heart"-ing music does? As opposed to starring? Is starring just for me and my crazy-autistic smart playlists? What was the point of Genius mixes/Genius Results if I now have to flag everything I "like" again? Is this all for that "Just for You" page?

I never used Spotify or Pandora so I may be late to the idea, but Apple Music is pretty cool so far. It has a lot more music available than I expected, and using it offline is awesome. I'm already finding new music. This is as close to what I'm looking for I can probably hope for. I'm surprised I even like Beats 1 so far. I'm kind of blown away I can get unlimited access to so much music anytime I want at high quality for only $10 a month and AirPlay it or Bluetooth it wherever I want. The future is pretty dope so far. It sucks Apple Music is ruining so many people's lives around the internet today though.

I can't find a BBC-style 'listen again' button but a lot of content seems to repeat 12 hours later. I missed St. Vincent's show at 2AM (UK time), but I'll be able to hear it at 2PM today. Same goes for the main DJs: http://applemusic.tumblr.com/beats1

There was some confusion about this before launch - does uploading your personal library to Apple Music eat up iCloud storage? I don't see myself ever using it but it never hurts to do it I guess.

My 5s is 18 months old now. I currently have the awful app and music running and the handset is pretty warm. Not excessively but more than you'd expect. My mum got her 5c replaced due to overheating but that was a couple of months after getting it. Anyone had any similar experiences?

I just activated it on my phone and I don't see any spinny data transfer icon in my status bar. Will it only upload from iTunes on my home PC? I was hoping to get the transfer done in work because frankly, with my home connection, I'll be halfway into my trial before my home internet connection finishes syncing.

If you tap on the beats 1 show on the radio tab and scroll to the bottom you can tap on a show to get a playlist of everything played on it. Edit - apparently you can only get this for the 3 main DJs, St. Vincent's show itself isn't up. Odd oversight.
