So far I love it. Found it is like Spotify in terms of I can find a cd and listen to it but also like Google music with its radio stuff. I find the layout of the app much better then both which might convince me to get Apple music at $9.99 vs Google at $7.99.*

* I also tend to avoid Google products because of privacy concerns but at $7.99 I rather pay for that over Spotify

Right now I am finding it very busy looking. Spotify seems more straightforward and user friendly. I will give it some time.

I like the app layout imo. Might be enough to win me over. I'll give it the full 3 months and I'll see. Much better then I thought it would be which I thought it would be just a curated radio app or something.

The family price win me over. So happy the playlist and radio stations are really good.

That's the big plus for me as well. I have 5 users in the family. I have been using Google Play Music but everyone else uses iTunes only. I really like Play Music, but as long as I can get what I need I will switch for sure just for the price. So far so good. I've had a few bugs with setting up playlists but I'm sure Apple will work those out. It's only day 1.

I really enjoy the fact that I have unlimited skips now on iTunes Radio and that I don't have two separate apps for my music anymore. (Was constantly switching from Spotify to the music app before today.) The app has a lot going on inside it, but I'm quickly learning where everything is even though it literally took me over an hour to find the search icon to where I can find Apple Music. Though I could do without Beats 1 due to my taste in music being different, it's a great update!

I'm canceling my Spotify subscription later this week most likely, and going all Apple. I really like Apple Music!

The localization stuns me. The Canadian playlists are great. The Russian playlists are extensive.

Super surprising.

Honestly the only reason I might keep Google is because it's a third party app so I am never anchored with Apple should I decide to go back to Android. While I probably won't I just like the idea of having everything not tied to Apple.*




* this also goes in general with other products like game consoles. I try to avoid buying stuff like movies on my ps4 or xbox one because I could only watch that movie on those consoles.

Not really used  Music that much yet, but really like the Spotify styled streaming, but not too keen on most of the Featured Radio Stations apart from BBC World Service.

Since it's integrated into the Music App I'm more inclined to stay a Subscriber after the three months are up since ?9.99 ($9.99) a month is cheaper than buying all the individual tracks or albums from the iTunes Store.

 Music will be cross platform in the fall, so you can still use it on Android! That's another big reason I switched completely over to  Music.

Totally forgot about that lol. Guess it comes down which service I like more and is it worth $9.99 over $7.99* for Google music

* if you signed up for Google music when they launched it they sold it at $7.99 at launch. Now it's $9.99 which would now make it a lot easier to switch

Does anyone noticed that 'Indie' is missing now from 'Genre' & 'Apple Music Editors' sections, I wonder why they removed it now though it was there on launch day!

I used to like listening to the BBC World Service Radio Station on Apple Music as it was something different to the Music Stations. I've just gone into the Radio Tab of Apple Music to find that there are only the music stations available. Was the BBC World Service Station only on Apple Music for the first two days of Apple Music?

I've now noticed that BBC World Service is now missing from the Radio section and it was there yesterday.

I was wondering about apple music features.

There is one thing that has been confusing me. When I click more for an album, I get the option to add it to my music, and make available offline. If I make it available offline that means I can listen to it without using any data when I am out, but "add to my music" what does that exactly do? Does it just put it in my music list and if I want to listen to it, then it will just use data?

'Add To My Music' adds the song/album to your music library. Once it's in your library you can download to your device for local playback, so no data usage. I've verified the no data usage by toggling on airplane mode and then playing downloaded music.
