Why do I need to do anything at all? When I open Apple Music I clearly see "Recently Added," yet I cant summon Siri to play all my recently added tracks? Makes no UX sense to me especially since they highlight this when you first open the app.
You don't need to. I was trying to be helpful.
I'd stick with Bandcamp and other DRM-free FLAC stores.

Apple Music is on desktop
> Apple Music is on desktop Not in a dedicated app. The integration with iTunes is a bit of a mess and brings all of the iTunes weirdness along for the ride. I really wish Apple would break iTunes apart...
I have very few complaints about apple music, and most of them are because I regard the Atomic Unit Of Music to be the studio album. 1. No Tool. :( 2. No easy way to reorder search results to be album first. 3. Date of original album release is buried. 4. Hard to filter by "studio album" vs "live album" vs "compilation album" vs "greatest hits album". 5. Siri can't help; "play me the third album by the rolling stones…

I have just one complaint, and it's the Siri integration. I was having a frustrating day and I like a playlist called something like "chill" or "just chill" or "relax" or something like that... so I ask Siri to play relaxing music. Can't find it. Siri, play chill music. Can't find it. Siri, play chill playlist. You don't have a playlist called chill. Siri play calming music. Now playing Daft Punk "I Feel It Coming".…

iTunes on Windows is garbage and the Android version of Apple Music is buggy as hell.
The Android app has 3.5 stars. It must not be buggy for most people. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.apple.andr...
I like I'm sure many predicted this would be inevitable regardless how better one product is over another. At the end of the day Spotify can't compete with Apple's budget, and music streaming isn't a long term profitable business on it's own. I love Apple and deep into their ecosystem. However, certainly not a fan of Apple Music. When using on the Mac iTunes is rather horrific since everytime I search it searches loc…
You're talking like Spotify's days are numbered. Spotify has many ways it can outcompete Apple on, not just budget. Just like Lyft did with Uber, DuckDuckGo with Google, etc. This is not a winner-takes-all market. What Apple has done here is they've captured their ecosystem users that likely would have never signed up with Spotify in the first place.
The fact is: the music industry is indeed a winner-take-all market now. The industry's horrible response to Napster crippled them, and their inability to outmaneuver Steve Jobs in the aftermath led to a rather diminished industry overall. We see this in both recorded and live music - just look at LiveNation's rise to dominance following Apple's rise to dominance for distribution with iTunes.
Music also suffers from the same problem as other older media - competition for ears and for time. Video games are hurting music just as much as it's hurting film. Music consumption has become cheapened over the years as technology left it in the dust, preferring to adapt video to our current media-heavy lives. Audio mediums have been traditionally not as paid attention to. Our culture is simply moving on from this kind of media, in a sense.
I have heard Apple Music in UK or US are great. That is when only one languages is being used, and mostly English.
Whenever Apple Music has to deal with two lanagueges, it sucks.

And it is not only Japanese, but most of South East Asia. if Apple Music already wasn't better then Spotify, this make it worst.
In the old days, Apple was all about being the best to win. Not it has become being good enough to win, and to make the matter worst they stop improving it after they won.
Sad. The UI of Spotify is much better - less taps to get where you want to go, dark theme, and it actually has song handoff between devices and a dedicated desktop app for the Mac, none of which Apple Music has. I can't help but think this is because of Apple's monopolistic practice of only allowing Apple Music to integrate with Siri.
Yeah, that goes great with my dark desktop. I love not knowing where the Spotify window actually is.
