Earlier quoted context omitted.

Yes, I expect that a service I paid for does not include untrusted malware. Thankfully there are other streaming services which do not do this.

Could you name one please? (That has a comparable catalog to Spotify/Apple Music)

I used to use soundcloud which has a fairly large catalog of music if you have the paid version. I eventually canceled it because they had an annoying habit of replacing tracks with random remasters so something in your liked list could change to a different version that is much worse. These days I either use bandcamp or torrents.

Interesting to see Apple starting to move into the web app product space (aside from iCloud, of course). Must say though that performance feels a bit sluggish (esp. hover states) on a Macbook Pro (tested in Firefox, Chrome and Safari).

Not surprising as they are using Ember (one of the slowest front end frameworks), Moment (super heavy date library), and they don't even minify their code... https://js-cdn.music.apple.com/musickit/v2/components/musick...

Ember itself isn't slow. There are plenty of sites that use it effectively. Most of the sluggishness is due to weird data loading patterns

I’m curious what framework Apple uses for web now. Last I checked (a week ago) icloud.com is still implemented with SproutCore.

Looks like Ember for the most part. Look at the code, it's not minified, yet...

That's weird. Ember minifies by default
