What I don't like about Apple Music and what Apple should improve

apple-music

After 10 days using Apple Music daily, I am already clear that it is the streaming music service that I will use from now on, replacing Spotify that will pass away. Your catalog, the integration with the system and my home devices and the price of the family account these are more than enough reasons to make this decision almost from day one, but it is still far from being a perfect service. During this time there are many things that I do not like and that I think Apple should improve, and that I also hope that it will do soon. These are my suggestions:

iTunes, a complete disaster

itunes-apple-music-04

It is my first complaint because it is without a doubt the most serious. Apple should consider what it does with iTunes and if its plans are to make this increasingly tedious application disappear, It better be a quick death instead of this slow agony who is suffering. Apple Music has not been less, and has contributed to iTunes falling even deeper. Everything that is easy and simple in the iOS Music application is a real ordeal in iTunes, like creating a playlist.

Albums everywhere

But the iOS version is not perfect either. Something that really annoys me is that my library of albums gets full, even if it only has a single song by that artist in it. I have several lists added to my music, and some include artists for whom I only have that song, and the end result is a huge list of covers that make it very difficult for me to navigate To search for what I find It is true that I can use the search engine, which luckily is on all the screens of the application, but I would like there to be an option so that only the complete albums that I have added are shown, and not those that are only there because a song is in a list.

Endless menus

It is true that Apple Music has many options, and that in some way they must be integrated into the application, but it is no less true that Apple should have looked for a better solution to that huge list of options that appear in the drop-down menu. If on my iPhone 6 Plus they take up almost the entire screen, I wouldn't want to imagine how they look on an iPhone 4S. They spoil the good aesthetics of the application.

Apple-Music-Upgradeable

Directly access an album or artist, impossible

Despite these long menus, there are options that are incomprehensibly absent. If along the different tabs you can navigate within Apple Music you see a song that interests you, forget about directly accessing their artist or album because it is not possible, or at least I have not found the option. By clicking on that song, you will only get the playback to start, and by displaying the player in full screen, you also have no options to directly access the artist or album. Incredible but true.

Shared lists for when?

Yes, the lists can be shared, and they work very well, as long as they are shared directly with you, but what are those usernames that we create in our Apple Music account for? I thought it was to be able to search for a user directly and be able to see their lists. Apple's lists are not bad, and there is something for everyone, but I would like to be able to follow friends and acquaintances and see their public lists, as in Spotify.

As a first version it is not bad

Apple Music was released less than two weeks ago, you have to be patient. But it is urgent that Apple improve many of its deficiencies because they spoil an application and service that on the other hand have great virtues. Hopefully even before the release of iOS 9 the Music app will solve many of these problems.

    And with all those failures that you see, which are few compared to those that I observe, which are many more, do you still believe in replacing Spotify with Apple Music?
    So we will never go back to the Apple of before, if they do things wrong and we continue to pay for it, they are already doing well. What we should do is put them aside so they can keep working on something better, and not on the current "news" that they put out year after year and end up in a trash folder on my iDevice.

      Well yes, because the catalog it has covers everything I like, because it integrates perfectly with my iPad, iPhone, Apple TV and Mac, because I can listen to it on all the devices I want simultaneously, because for 14,99, € XNUMX my wife and my father (and I) have three independent accounts ... and for more reasons that is why I replace it with Spotify.

    It should definitely improve. But I think I will switch from Rdio to Apple Music. I tell you that to go to an album by the artist from any song that is in a playlist you must do the following: click on the "three dots" to display the menu, at the top appears the name of the song, artist and album, you click and it automatically takes you to the corresponding album, then if you click on the name of the artist it will take you to the rest of their albums and songs.

    regards

      What you say does not work for me, it was "logical" and I tried it that way, but nothing. Maybe it's because it's on iOS 9
