Night 1: I like the look. The balls are helpful in trying to figure out my music interests. Seems to have similar selection of music as Spotify. May have issues finding playlists of similar build to my existing Spotify playlists.
Day 1: First attempt in the wild at work. On separate laptop. Oh great. Apple's iCloud system says I am using too many computers when I am trying to create a playlist with Apple Music tracks. How is this still a thing with the music industry? Don't they know I am not a thief if I own or use more than 4 computers? Is this Apple's lack of foresight at work here?
Why is it that when I select a track I like and "Love it" there's no way I can find the tracks I marked? Not even a separate smart playlist works with this, despite fulfilling the rules of the smart playlist.
How can a company screw up helping an individual user figure out how to use a basic music streaming service? If I can't figure out how all of Apple's pieces interact with each other (iTunes proper, iTunes Match, iCloud, Apple Music), how is the average person supposed to figure this out?
As a fan of the traditional iTunes layout and functionality, I'm becoming dumbfounded as to how iTunes has become such a disaster.
Thank goodness this is a three month trial. So far I am keeping Spotify on the default.
