Apple surprised Swift by almost immediately changing its plan not to compensate artists during the trial period of its new streaming service. Says Swift, “Apple treated me like I was a voice of a creative community that they actually cared about,” she says. “And I found it really ironic that the multi-billion-dollar company reacted to criticism with humility, and the start-up with no cash flow reacted to criticism like a corporate machine.”

apple music status: downloaded a playlist yesterday and started listening to it in the car

in the car today, went to continue playing it, and discovered that apple music had thoughtfully deleted all the songs in the playlist (including the one i had paused on) and left the playlist as an empty husk to taunt me

amazing, magical

these ads look cool but the problem is they are "reminder advertising" as opposed to "explain what it is advertising"

i guess that's fine cause the industry over all is pretty mature and anyone with an iPhone who's tapped the music icon should have an idea of what it is

i really do need to test out the apple radio function and see how it performs with the same bands
iTunes Radio has been really good for me, thing to note is that it defaults to a discovery setting of "hits" so if you know the artist/related well you'll prob just hear songs you know. this can be tuned to a couple different options though and the discovery one seems pretty solid.

the only thing is it doesn't seem to integrate with Apple music, like I can't heart a song on iTunes Radio I can only say play more like this on the radio.

icloud music library does occasionally gently caress up or doesn't sync. when this happens i just load up some other awesome music and am instantly satisfied. so whatever

i made a playlist on apple music but then after adding a few things, i couldn't add anything else and there was no error or anything. maybe because i had two playlists with the same name?

also i'm not sure how to tell if i've downloaded music for local playback or not. like what can i play from my music that won't use data.

those are my only complaints

3 days till Dre's final record, god bless

met this girl who worked at the apple store and had an  watch

i could see her face twitch as she got notifications about random poo poo from her watch. sometimes she ignored it and sometimes she repeatedly slapped her hand over her watch, which apparently silences it

no noise, it's a haptic feedback. i just don't know a better way to describe "horrifying piece of consumer electronics stops making you feel like there's someone physically touching you when email/imessage/twitter/fb/insta/snapchat happen, like some kind of sick soviet-era torture device".

the other problem is you start randomly feeling phantom vibrations

yeah, during the week i had one, it kept sending me useless fb notifications despite me having them set to off, the watchfaces are all smaller than the $60 automatic seiko i usually wear (which is small by current watch trends), and the glances are all useless since they all have to refresh through your phone, so you may as well just check your phone since it takes 5-10 seconds to get you a 3 second look worth of information. maybe the next software update will improve these since it adds native apps, but i kind of doubt it.
