Are you listening to Beats 1? What do you think?

I've been streaming Zane Lowe's inaugural show on Beats 1. Let's chat about it.

Full story from the iMore Blog...

I've listened to Beats 1 for a short period of time, and found it okay. I mean, I didn't dislike it or anything. I haven't listened to it long enough to say that it's great or not.

I'm currently listening to b-1, and it's straight-up jamming' now......."Paul Revere" by the Beastie Boys is currently playing. I was a skirt chasin' baaaad boy back then (laughing).

I listened for about 3 hours... it didn't suck.

I listened for a few hours this afternoon. It was much better than expected. The DJ patter wasn't nearly as annoying as I feared. Genres weren't my favorites but they did a good job of curating selections within those genres. I hadn't heard a bunch of the songs before but most of them were pretty good. They flowed well together. I'll be giving it another try tomorrow as I have a bunch of driving to do. Time will tell though.

Only two songs so far. Not a fan of those two. We'll see. I'm not a fan of rap and the current time slot appears to be geared towards that.

Hate it!! Every time I go to it a hip hop song is playing. Not my thing! I can get the music I like with TuneIn Radio Pro.

I listened for an hour or so last night. I didn't know what to expect, but I like it.

Most of the music is not my thing, but I'll keep trying here and there. I like the music stations that Apple puts on my "For You" page. That's pretty cool and I'm listening to those. Those are well done.

I think I'm too old for the type of music that plays on this station. It is obviously geared toward a younger age group, and I'm totally okay with that.

I was thinking the same thing until I turned it in this morning and there were a couple 80's songs being played. I think they will mix it up. I still prefer the radio stations that are recommended for me but I will flip over to Beats 1 and check it out from time to time.

I guess I didn't listen long enough. I will give it another shot.

I don't want to go through 20 songs I don't like to hear one I think is just ok. I guess you have to subscribe to the streaming service to get the "For You" offer.

Just saying!

I've been pleasantly surprised with Beats 1 this morning. Beats 1 London, Alligator Hour with Josh Homme, and now what appears to be a country music hour has offered quite a variety compared to the usual hip hop, hip hop, and more hip hop that I've found all of the other times I've tried to listen to this station. Variety is good.
