I know it doesn't help now, but it's being expanded to 100K when iOS 9 drops.

Yeah, I knew about that limit in Match, but I assumed it would only apply to the equivalent functionality in Apple Music (the music locker stuff). This is really dumb. If I can't add things to My Music I may as well be paying $10/month for YouTube. Basically they don't want your business if you have a big music collection that you mostly bought from somewhere else?

Yes, that's it. Apple is clearly interested in turning away customers as opposed to it being issues that surround the release of a 1.0 product.

Apple just shut down the unencrypted link and all related ones so it has to e through iTunes or the Music app

If I'm listening to a radio station or a For You playlist, why do I have the option of adding the songs to My Music if they're already in my library? Shouldn't it pop up Remove From My Music if it's already there?

It sucks that they basically stripped iTunes Radio down

There's still a lot of playlists out on there, but finding them is hard. For example, the iTunes Top 50 playlists are listed on my iPhone, but if I search for them all I can get is the Dance one.

EDIT: Well then...

IT IS HARAAM TO SEND SMILEY FACES THROUGH THE INTERNET
Is there a good way to follow what shows are coming up on Beats 1 without following the Twitter or Tumblr, both of which seem to have not mentioned things like the WRTJ show I missed tonight, and which send out noise I don't care about like "some artist released an exclusive demo track on Apple Music"?

I could just check the site itself often, but I'd rather have show info delivered so I don't have to think about it.

been using iTunes 12.2 for mac and it's still kind of slow but at least doesn't feel quite as ropey as the windows version. seems to be missing some of the more bizarre apple music related idiosyncrasies too that are present on the windows version, like the 'love' button in the now playing bar taking like 10 seconds to respond, or songs in playlists not updating with the 'loved' icon until you hover over them

not that 'iTunes for mac is usable, iTunes for windows is loving dreck' is at all noteworthy or anything

The one thing Apple music absolutely can't compete with Spotify on is buffering time. Spotify is instant. It feels local. But Apple music is like all the other services out there where it takes a couple seconds (at peak times) for a track to start. I'm also pretty sure i read somewhere that Spotifys target is <300 ms to playback start or something.

yeah this is true. occasionally it's near-instant (this is unrelated to whether I have the songs in my library) and occasionally it takes like a strangely long time to buffer. is usually somewhere inbetween, def less consistent than spotify. the absolute nadir of this for me was always rdio which seemed like spotify with a marginally more agreeable ui, palpably less of a selection and a pervasive weird unresponsiveness. no idea why people kept recommending it so highly. maybe spotify has a ton of european/uk servers so my experience is generally more lag-free?

They're what's for dinner
The only time it buffers for me is when it's the first track I'm playing and it's not stored locally. Otherwise, it never buffers since it usually pre-caches the next song.

I guess if you're weird and manually pick tracks to listen to every time it's a pain, but otherwise it's not that bad :shrug:

The big annoyance I have is sometimes having your connection state changed (e.g. going from no connection to 3G) will make the music pause itself for some ungodly reason.

People liked Rdio because they could implement technology well, which is something that can't be said of Spotify. Off the top of my head, Rdio's version of Connect and their library function were in place long, long before Spotify got these things together.

So can you not have a playlist bar on the side? That would make adding songs to playlists so much easier.

For streaming, it's most likely caused by insufficient advance buffering and the phone trying to hold onto a WiFi signal when it really should give up and transition over to 3G/LTE. All the sessions need to be torn down and recreated when moving.

If you're playing local stuff and this happens, that sounds like a bug.

It happens with local stuff, as well. It's really annoying.

So have they done away with library sharing? I mean the thing so that theoretically you can access your desktop computer's itunes library from an ios device if they're on the same wifi network. I can't find the option anywhere in the new ios music. (Not that it makes much difference since the poo poo never worked for me anyway, but I'm wondering if it's actually officially dead and buried)

This is apparently a thing Apple knows about. I'm not sure if it's a music rights thing because of the streaming or a technical thing they couldn't get ready in time. iOS 8.4.1 perhaps?

I had around 10 or so albums where the artwork changed and I found I could get info for the album and drag new artwork over the top to replace it back. It updated across all devices.

May not be that feasible if you have hundreds of swap outs though.

I've noticed some hit songs on albums aren't available like Sour Times on Portishead's Dummy album. I think they're just shown for completeness but they aren't available I guess.

Has anybody else had trouble adding music from AM to their libraries? This function was working fine for me until this afternoon when a bunch of the music that I had added today disappeared and I wasn't able to add anything else. I'm getting that "cloud with a lightning bolt" symbol in the top left as well, even though my connection is fine. I tried logging out and in and then when I tried to add music again it gave me the option of uploading everything to iCloud which seems a bit pointless. It's taking forever and I'll be pissed if this doesn't solve the issue; has anybody had any experience with this?

I just searched for Portishead, clicked Dummy and am listening to Sour Times as I type.

Great band. Great album. Sucks Roseland was shot on goddamned videotape.

E: just for clarification as this might be a worldwide rights thing - I'm on my UK account but am in the US at the moment.
