Since the launch of Apple Music took six weeks. During this time, every blogger, journalist and editor had to express their opinion on the service. I do not have exact figures, but the feeling is that 90% of these opinions or entitled «Apple Music - shit, I'm not going to use it ", or« Apple Music - the best thing that happened in the past with music years. "
Such reviews or become ill by the fact that, in fact, do not give any information to the user. Good features are taken up on a pedestal, the bad - are presented as if they are completely changing the world for the worse. Month and a half - that's a good term to be defined with what reaction deserves Apple Music: «Yes" or "No".
Yes
Since the time when I used the iPhone and the computer on a Windows, iTunes makes me fear. I synchronized the device once a month, and then only because that constantly making jailbreak and feared that fly off the system. I had my way - I would never have approached iTunes. Therefore, before the release of Apple Music I was curious, as a service present on the Mac. In the image of bulky harvester, which can do everything and nothing at the same time, or as a simple service that pleasant to use.
Get something in between. The new iTunes has minusesBut all the same advantages more. A key advantage for me is that I can turn on the computer and start the music in three clicks: opened iTunes - to switch to the appropriate tab - press Play.
On the iPhone, it was not so smooth. But only as long as I did not install the public beta of iOS 9. It is evident that the company is improving the service. In each update it gets better. Annoying menu system, which is set to full screen, have been replaced by neat lists. Periodical departures seem to have stopped. A Connect slowly filled with interesting information about the executors.
It would seem that everything is fine, but no.
Not
Google Play Music was the first musical strimingovym service that I tried. I used it for six months, more than Spotify and Apple Music combined. Nevertheless compare Apple Music with Spotify can only - in my opinion, Google Play Music plays.
And comparisons with Spotify service does not stand up. Primarily due to recommendations. However much I laykal music, Apple Music offers a wild mixture of different genres, and I still can not see through it. Spotify - a service for the lazy, hit Play, and listen to great music. The Apple Music it will first have to find it.
Despite the fact that changes for the better can be seen, minor illness still in place. Tracks are sometimes interrupted, downloading music in the background - as well. And do not even think about downloading playlists offline. Then the music library will become a limitless list of artists, each with one track. I also want to say about the brakes, but do not dare. Talking about the brakes, using the iPhone 5 three years ago, still not worth it.
Before the release of Apple Music I feared that Spotify will not stand competition. I'm glad I was wrong. Even though the action with a free subscription base of Apple Music users is only 11 million. It can not be compared with the 75 million Spotify users.
Nevertheless, Apple Music need only one thing - time. Now the service is losing Swedish competitor. And if you want to use only the best, then this is Spotify. But it is clear that Apple is working on a service, and it seems to me that a year - this is the period after which Apple Music will become the new standard in the field of strimingovyh services. And I'm still waiting for that moment because I'm curious - what by then will turn Spotify?
