I am starting to suspect that Apple Music does not in fact suit my needs

* "Albums" view has no obvious way to distinguish between actual full albums I have downloaded onto the phone and "albums" comprised of one song that's part of a playlist I downloaded

* Several full albums I downloaded actually only downloaded like half of the songs, and the other half of the songs refuse to actually download to the phone with no warning or explanation, even when I specifically tap "Make Available Offline" and it shows a little phone icon next to the song title (but doesn't actually download the song to the phone)

* Several playlists didn't actually bother downloading themselves properly and when I try to play them they have like 2 songs in them

* At least one playlist didn't actually both to download at all and despite sitting in my "Playlists" list is completely blank

* When I start playing downloaded music in range of wifi (e.g. my garage) and then go out of range of wifi (e.g. start driving) the music pauses itself and I have to press play again

* On more than on occasion the "loop current song" option magically enabled itself and I had to turn it back off

* The "Sound Check" option that normalizes volume levels seems to like to randomly not work, so if I keep restarting a song over and over, maybe 10% of the time it will be MUCH LOUDER THAN NORMAL

So in conclusion Apple Music fails miserably as a replacement for an iPod, you know, that device Apple made a while back that was fairly popular and kicked off their meteoric rise

yeah it kinda sucks

my nearly 10 year old tivo hd has a more responsive ui than the vz box and thats loving shameful, and it actually connects to more internet video services despite its age (literally only netflix vs nothing at all)

and vz's lovely boxes are still 100 times more responsive than comcast's

my verizon fiosbox gives me ads when i try to change the channel sometimes but they take forever to load and sometimes crash so you hit guide button and then it says 'loading reccomendations for you' and then becomes unresponsive for like 2 minutes until it times out and says 'sorry we couldnt load this ad right now' and goes to some settings panel instead of letting me just change the loving channel. but it preserves all the button clicks you make while waiting for the ad to load so after it crashes, the guide loads, exits, loads, exits 50 times in a row

you can disable the ad poo poo but lol that it's on by default

Soon even network dweebs in lovely IT depts will no longer be able to say 'Cant fix your iPhone/iPad/iOS connection Cisco no support Macs heeheehee'

this probably just means wifi implementations on apple devices will support more of the optional cisco wifi poo poo on the client side that make wifi slightly less lovely

yes, like better wifi AP migration as you walk and talk down the hallway, and not being forever stuck on 2.4 GHz if that's the only signal you were able to get when you first looked at your phone in the parking lot. wifi is a poo poo protocol that has no features to support extended coverage and handoff. Cisco has a lot of features to try to fix that, but they work much better with a device that's aware of them and playing along.

burn 802.11 to the ground and start anew without backwards compatibility, it's a broken shitshow
