Q: why is apple music so slow

why is apple music slow

 

nothing like Spotify

 

if you click on a song it has to load for a few moments? so frustrating, you want it to be instant like spotify but its nothing like spotify

 

apple you need to fix this as it is so annoying, im so surprised you havent sorted this before releasing it, its just not apple culture, its made it hard to use it and want to stay with it

 

also whilst i am playing the songs in my playlist it stops all of a sudden sometimes half way through a song no reason. 

 

all my artwork is different which shouldn't have changed,

 

but the most annoying thing is the fact that when i click a song it has to LOAD ,  mean this is not the 90's is it ?

    I have exactly the same problem on both my iPad air 2 and iphone 6.

     

    The both stop part way through a song or a song shows that it has downloaded fully but hasn't.

     

    Spotify is far quicker but I am sure they had teething troubles in the beginning.

     

    I have to say even with the problems, Apple music is superb and I hope they sort the teething problems out soon.

     

    It's just great having all your music in one place but speed is not an option these days, it's a must.

    Glad to see that I'm not the only one with this problem. We need a fix for this!

    Same with me, and some songs don't load at all, just tried to listen to Petestrumentals 2 and iTunes hang on the first song Heaven & Earth. Starting the 2nd song worked, but again trying to start song 1: nothing.

    On my iPhone 4S it is much worse. Often playback just stops. Downloading for offline listening also does only work partial – some songs are downloaded, others not. Where do I see, which song has been successfully downloaded? Not that Spotify didn't crash on me all the time since they did their last updates, but it was much smoother than this!

    Same with me too. tried turning off all network connection only left out with apple music connection still the song loading is taking time

    its really frustrating compare to Spotify. Apple should do something to keep the customer back if not my frnds moved back to Spotify.

    Hope this issue will be resolve soon and happy Apple Fans.

    I'm having the same problem here on both my iPhone 4s and iPhone 6.  The pausing seems to be related to switching between 4G and wifi.  If I disable cellular data access for Apple Music, then I don't have issues with intermittently pausing songs.

     

    I would love to use Apple Music because I believe that integrating with my local music library is a nice feature.  Unfortunately, I will be heading back to spotify.

    Not only is the Apple Music service slow, the music itself is actually slow. It seems like all the music curators are depressed or something.

    I'll be going back to paying Spotify if this is what I can expect from Apple Music...now easy way to immediately get offline music without serious time spent downloading on Wifi.  Too bad- I was really looking forward to finally being able to easily combine my old itunes library / purchases with my new collection of music streams.

    I Have the same issue.  It's like the files are way too big.  Or the service is way too slow.

    Are you using a bluetooth device while streaming?

     

    I noticed that I was having lag issue only when using a my Bose bluetooth device. It's a problem with interactions between your WIFI and Bluetooth. I was lucky enough to have a router with a 5 Ghz modem and it solved all my problems. But you can get into 2.4 Ghz modem and change channels to see if that helps.

     

    Now that I have switched Apple Music works fine... except the layout still *****!

    Thanks... as soon as I turned off the bluetooth on my new Ipad Air 2, the music download (making my tunes available offline just started humming along.

    I couldn't agree more. The app is inacceptably slow, even on fast wifi connections and using the newest Apple hardware.
