exclusives s*** was lame tbh. I have no complaints about AM it works fine for me. Only feature I use is iCloud library for local files. Don’t listen to curated playlist and rarely listen to radio shows.

I still haven’t l listened to it, I started it but at the time I just wasn’t in the mood to listen to hella talking

apple music peaked 2015-2017

but i like their now playing screen more than spotify’s

I pray iCloud / manual iTunes music transfer never goes away, can’t go back to android just to get non streaming songs be be easily playable on my phone

nah i dont miss exclusive albums in the slightest

exclusives was the reason I got apple music back then ngl lol
still brazy and pnd3

the perfect ui

Exclusives don’t make any sense for the artist but it makes streaming fun for the consumer and potentially helped every streaming service cause I’m pretty some music fans was subbed to every service at one point.

I remember when yall would rep music streaming services

wtf do you want exclusive albums??? u wanna gatekeep albums huh?

they dont gotta work as hard no more since they already got they core sub base

More Beats 1 would be great but imagine wanting albums to be exclusive to certain streaming platforms

I wish they actually optimized the f***ing app

iCloud the only reason they're still better

To clarify: I’m not saying I want more exclusives per se. Debuts on Beats 1 again would be dope. Like those Beats 1 shows would create moments, everyone would tune in to hear what’s gonna happen.

Nickis Queen Radio rants were talked about for days. We were put onto new artists on OVO Sound Radio. We got a Jay Z interview on Blonded. Like s*** like that was cool as hell and those times were fun as a fan.

Apple connect was cool

Apple Music 2015-18 was goated

also the UI

exclusive albums trash but exclusive radio shows and interviews are dope wish they kept it up. trav isn't the most family friendly figure but og chase b doing a cactus jack radio show leading up to dystopia would be fire. a vince staples radio show leading up to ramona park would've been crazy good. they gotta keep doing stuff like that

that exclusive stuff is stuopid

Apple Music on desktop now sucks. Searching for music is hard and the main album layout isn’t as pretty as it used to be.

Lucian Grainge said no more exclusives after being swindled by Frank Ocean

That s*** makes me angry for ye lmfao

absolutely criminal they don't have a crossfade feature on iOS

it was truly a time to be alive
