I'm thinking the answers gonna be a no.


What don't you like?

I've had a few issues, but nothing I hate enough to revert back. Plus I've seen ways on several tech blogs detailing how to minimize most of the new Apple Music functions if that what really irks you.

I Agree. I have never been so disappointed with Apple. I use my phone mainly for MY music. Now most the app is geared for a service I must pa more for. How do I simply shuffle my music without jumping through hoops? The app is entirely for Apple music. I have slacker and rdio for free and am happy with it. Give me a free option or let me live within my library

I hope there is an update in the way...

in the meantime I am hunting for another music player app....

Thanks much for the link. Helpful.

There are many things that I don't like, starting with the fact that I couldn't play my own music after the upgrade! And whenever I clicked on one of my songs, I was offered the option to "make available offline" music that I owned and that was formerly installed on my devices and accessible whenever I wanted them. What kind of music service blocks access to its customers property? what made matters worse was the fact that I was on an airplane when I made this charming discovery and did not have access to the Internet. Apple Music assumes that everyone has 24/7 internet access. I don't know what planet it's developers live on, but that isn't how the planet I live on works. I'm afraid I'm not impressed by a service that denies you access to your own property in exchange for a paid subscription available only via Internet. So if you don't have Internet, then you won't have music. No thanks!
