I'm experiencing this issue in Firefox, where I have all my regular ad-blocking, and an incognito window in Chrome, where I don't have any of it.
Anyone else seeing this?
Requires DRM to be turned on for it to work. No thanks.
Well, uh, yes. You really expected them to let you download an unencumbered copy of any song in the iTunes catalog?
Wow, us Apple Music users have been waiting for this forever! For anyone who's curious about how this product developed: - April 2016: Apple releases Apple Music API - December 2018: A third-party Apple Music web player is launched on Product Hunt: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/playapplemusic-com (Created by https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=shivdhar ) - January 2019: Another third-party alternative, Musish, l…
I'm not where it fits into the timeline, but Apple has actually offered a rather obscure and limited way to use Apple Music in a browser for some time prior to the launch of the full web client. There's no way to browse, or even launch it directly. You have to search, via Google or other, for an album, and follow the link to what always used to be the iTunes Preview page. You can still listen to the thirty-second pre…
seems they're using Ember.js . Reason I love spotify so much is that it's available on the web, no need to be downloading native apps everywhere. Always bet on the web. also good to see, another web property using Ember. As a react dev, competition is healthy
That’s not surprising. Ember was forked from SproutCore which was designed to mimic the Cocoa API. Ember’s model/view binding and event model still closely resembles Cocoa’s, as far as I know.

No, you are mistaken. I have no Facebook account. Spotify phones home to Facebook the moment the app is opened. This can be confirmed with a no-root firewall like Netguard on Android.
This is why Little Snitch is fantastic.
This was the reason I chose Spotify over Apple music all those years ago. Any reason to prefer Apple Music over Spotify? Spotify's recommendations have been absolutely stellar for me over the years and I have a lot of playlists and stuff "locking" me in.
In offline mode, the app is basically useless. No way to browse through the artist's whose songs I've saved up. Gets worse -
Say I want to listen to a particular album. I type the name of the album. I do not get a result of the album which I can go to, and play start to end. I do get, however, random songs from the album which if I'm lucky, and remember the sequence in which they appear on the album, I can manually add to the queue and listen to.
The artist tab doesn't work. The album tab doesn't work. These are online only tabs which include things like "New releases", "Fans also like", "Performing Livr" etc.

Even when I'm connected to the net ( at home), there is no way to see all the artists whose songs I've added to my library. There is no library.
Songs you can "like", artists you can "follow". When i follow an artist, and click on him, I don't see the albums I've added to my library/liked.

tl,dr: It's a UX clusterfuck. They took something which works and fucked it up ad infinitum. I've switched to Apple music, which is undoubtedly bad in terms of recommendations, but at least it lets me listen to the stuff I know I like.
So, Apple is launching an offering on par with Google's seven years later. Is that what we call innovation?
I’m so sad that most consumers want to pay for things like this or Spotify. I only buy digital albums, almost always from Bandcamp or bespoke band-specific sites, or Amazon if there’s no other choice. Always just a straight download of mp3 or ogg formats, backed up and accessible in cloud storage. I use VLC player on all my devices, and syncing music with the VLC wifi download tool is so extremely easy and simple. I…
This comes from someone with a collection of roughly 1500 12" vinlys, meaning from someone who actually owns his music.
