2015-06-30
hey what's going on guys the mark cann Sangin from TechnoBuffalo and Apple music is officially live it launched with iOS 8.4 today and with it is Apple's new 24/7 beats 1 radio station we've been using Apple music since this morning and here's a quick overview of Apple's new music streaming service Apple music so once you've installed iOS 8.4 the first thing you should notice is the new Apple music icon setting up Apple music is fairly simple and quick first you'll be able to select whether or not you want a free three-month trial which we're assuming you do then you'll be able to choose either a single plan for $9.99 a month or a family plan which offers support for up to six people for just $14.99 which i think is a steal so I opted in for that one next you'll select the drawn resume usek that you like followed by artists within those genres that you also like it's a way for Apple music to cater music to your tastes after that you'll fill in some brief account details like your username that's used for commenting on the connect section for Apple music then you'll dive right into the application now if here subscribe to iTunes Match your music from your old music application will be automatically added on to your current library to give users a seamless experience now if you guys don't have iTunes Match you'll be able to sync your music via iCloud music library which essentially uses your iCloud accounts to sync all of your music across all of your devices so let's go ahead and explore how Apple music works and looks so in terms of the user interface it's broken into five main tabs for you new radio connect and my music the first tab are all the recommendations that Apple thinks you'll like and arcader based on the genres and artists you choose during the setup this should change this Apple music starts to learn your listening habits and the new tab shows the latest album releases hot tracks top songs and the like it's pretty standard the radio tab provides access to beats 1 radio as well as other radio stations for recently played music and variety of feature stations like pure pop sound system that makes tape and more the connect tab is Apple musics attempt at social media allowing you to view content such as pictures songs music videos and other multimedia from artists that you follow finally the my music tab provides access to all of the songs already on your phone songs you match with iTunes Match and any music you've added through Apple music Apple music also includes exclusives like Taylor Swift's album 1989 which I'm not ashamed to admit I already purchased later though Apple music will become home to other exclusives at least that's what the company's promising other than the hundreds of thousands of music included in Apple music there's also music videos inside Apple music now I do wish however there was a dedicated section for videos instead of a small area existing inside the new tab overall I think most folks are gonna find what they're looking for in Apple music so long as they're willing to take that time to look so moving on to beats one beats 1 radio is a subsection of the radio tab which itself is a subsection of Apple music it's Apple's 24/7 live streaming music station that features live DJ's live music interviews and more it's also free in doesn't required the $9.99 or $14.99 monthly plans to access it's a really fun spin on radio and feels like a bit like what you'd expect from satellite radio the with just a single station as songs play you can choose to favorite them or add them to your library allowing you to store them for offline playback at a later time if they're available within beats one music you'll see a live schedule of the DJs and interviews coming up each day so you can always check back later on if you don't like a particular DJ or interview now when it comes to sharing this is one aspect of Apple music that so far I can tell needs improvement you can't share to other Apple music listeners instead you're limited to sharing to iMessages email or third party apps so what are our final thoughts of Apple music well we've been only using Apple music for a couple of hours and we plan to continue using it for the next few weeks and months at least in tandem with Spotify until my free trial ends I'm looking forward to discovering new music and finding out if Apple music spluttered new tab is actually a great place to find new artists songs videos and more or if over time it remains just as confusing and intimidating as it looks right now anyways this is just a quick overview of Apple music on iOS the Android app should be coming this fall and iTunes out for Mac and PC are rolling out now before we end this video I wanted to let you guys know that we are selling a limited edition TechnoBuffalo shirt for 10 more days it's got the awesome beat logo and the TechnoBuffalo logo in the back so it's super awesome you guys could rock a
