Ondrej Holzman After Tuesday's launch Apple Music it was possible to use the new music streaming service initially only on iPhones and iPads for which iOS 8.4 was released. Mac users have now also received a new version of iTunes for which Apple has prepared. It brings support for Apple Music, including a radio station Beats 1.
iTunes 12.2 can be downloaded from the Mac App Store and the update only applies to the new music service. The changelog, as in the case of iOS 8.4, informs you about all the news that awaits you together with Apple Music. Windows users should also get the same update for iTunes.
New to iTunes, you'll come across "For You" tabs, where Apple Music shows you music you might like based on what you've been listening to or liked, or "New" tabs, where you can see all the new happening in the music world. There is also a new "Radio" section. On the one hand, you can listen to Beats 1 broadcasting continuously or various stations divided by genre.
The "Connect" tab is then used to communicate and connect artists with their fans. Singers and bands add photos, videos and other content to appear on your stream. New singles can also be released exclusively via Connect, for example. iTunes 12.2 also got a new icon to match that of iOS.
Can someone explain to me the point of iTunes as a store? Because so far I have found everything in Apple Music where I can download it in OFFLINE mode also …. hmm hmm hmm...
But if you don't pay the subscription, you won't play the songs from Apple Music, not even the offline ones.. so the songs are not yours, but you only have them on loan for as long as you pay.. some people don't like that and prefer to buy the music ;)
I think the difference is in the DRM protection.
I tried and I haven't seen anything worse yet... It's not worth trying even for 3 months. I'm staying with GPlay!
You're still young Jura, so you probably haven't seen much...
I'm trying it for now and I like it so far.. the orientation is probably a matter of habit..
I'm asking for advice from someone who is good at it: I find any song, three dots and "New station from artist" or "New station from song"... I click, nothing happens.. in the status window at the top, "unknown name" appears for a moment “… a generally important function in my opinion… DOES IT WORK FOR ANYONE???
Thanks in advance
How do I update? The App Store doesn't offer me any updates, and the website is still only available to download version 12.1 :(
hmmmm.. also good, since yesterday evening it shows me in the appstore that I have 1 update, but as soon as I open it, the whole thing freezes, all my memory disappears and the fan runs like crazy, but nothing happens, I already tried it reboot about five times and it's still blocked... :-/
I also had a similar problem, I tried several different solutions, this is what worked:
– Remove the Library/update content
– Remove /Library/Caches/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate/
– Remove /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
- Restart
– Update normally everything from the App Store
and just a question, did you enter that via the terminal or something??
No, normally find those files in Finder and delete them.
So I couldn't find it at all, but luckily apple support and a complete reinstall helped to finally find out that all you have to do is switch the account to US, update and then switch back to CZ... :-) anyway, thanks a lot for the advice.
And where did you switch the account? I have the same problem. Thanks.
scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page and there is a flag in the lower right corner, just click and wait, it takes a while for the list of other states to load.
Thanks, it helped.

So I'm trying, I'm looking for satisfaction so far, I was used to paying for Spotify, so the payment doesn't bother me, it's clearly advantageous when "downloading" a large amount of music, so I'll see how offline music works. For now I'm filling the playlist :D
Well, ma macu, I think it's quite miserable. The iPhone app is much more convenient
Hi, the first time I started the new itunes I accidentally clicked the go back to my library button in the Music "For You" box and I guess I didn't finish launching the Apple Music one. Now it's gone and I have no way to start it, what does it do? I only have Connect and the radio left in the top bar. I'm signed in to Apple music on my iPhone.
You have to click on your name at the top and there should be an item to complete the selection or something similar.

It's fine, I just miss the red icons, I don't like the colored ones at all.
Does anyone know how I can go to the album on the iPhone, or the composer of the song currently playing? There is a "Go to Artist" and "Go to Album" option in iTunes, but I don't see it anywhere on the iPhone
As soon as you have the three dots down, you will get an offer. So tap all the way up and you're there
It would require some guidance. I made a Limpbizkit radio by mistake, it doesn't play Limpbizkit at all and then I can't even delete it. I have maroon 5 in Connect, which I don't even want there. I have more Follows than Eminem and still I only see eminem and maroon 5...nooo I don't know..I don't know much about it yet :)
don't know how to get rid of the pause, when I manually select something it takes a few seconds to start playing .. I'm on a hundred mega line so it won't be slow internet .. spotify, anything starts playing immediately, but AM takes its time :(
It will debug gradually. Currently, the whole world has flocked to try Apple Music, so I think it's pretty overloaded.
Well, after a whole day of testing, I still haven't quite figured out the taste of synchro between the book and the iPhone, but that will probably work itself out with time.. :-) Otherwise, 90% satisfaction, the design is wonderful and everything fits perfectly, after a little longer setting up what I like it and what I don't, it fits quite well and offers what it has, the only drawback is that you cannot influence the quality when streaming over a mobile network, I tried how much a song downloads on EDGE and on 3G and on LTE and the connection is slow better, it takes around 2MB per song, but if you're on LTE, it streams like WiFi, but the same song suddenly took 4,5MB for me, quite stupid when you realize how mobile operators in the Czech Republic cut data... :-/
I have the same thing. Synchro playlist between ipad and iphone is des. If I add something to the playlist on the iPad, I can't get it on the iPhone. Or, in a moment, the incomplete one from the iPhone will be loaded into the iPad. Well, maybe I'll figure it out.
I caught a terrible nerve. Can someone tell me how I can find Zanr now after the great update to ios8.4. Should I choose an alternative and just randomly run all the books I have under this genre??? I'm totally pissed that they canceled my last good thing. I am asking for someone's help.
Hi, what does the "E" icon next to the track title mean please? I have it for some in the album. I can't google it. Thanks
It is a sign when there is inappropriate content in the song, for example swearing and things of a similar nature.
Ah, thanks
