Ondrej Holzman Apple just released iOS 8.4 for iPhones and iPads, and with it launched a music streaming service Apple Music. This is undoubtedly the biggest novelty of the latest version of the mobile operating system, which nevertheless also brings several other minor fixes and improvements.
iOS 8.4 “brings the revolutionary music service Apple Music, XNUMX/XNUMX global radio and a whole new way to connect fans with their favorite artists. All these new features can be found in the reprogrammed Music app”.
Specifically about Apple Music, the update says:
- Sign up for Apple Music and play some of the millions of songs in the Apple Music catalog or save them for later offline playback
- For you: Registered members can enjoy a selection of playlists and albums recommended by music experts
- New: Registered users will find the latest and greatest music here - straight from our editors
- Radio: Tune in to a wave of music, talk and exclusive radio shows on Beats 1 Radio, listen to stations created by our editors or create your own from any artist or song
- Connect: Browse shared thoughts, photos, music and videos from the artists you follow and join the conversation
- My Music: Play your iTunes purchases, Apple Music songs, and playlists all in one place
- Completely redesigned music player now includes new features such as Recently Added, Mini Player, Upcoming and more
- iTunes Store: The iTunes Store continues to be the best choice for buying your favorite music; you can buy individual tracks and entire albums here
- Availability and features may vary by country
Additionally, iOS 8.4 brings improvements and bug fixes to iBooks, fixes a bug with accepting a certain sequence of Unicode characters, an issue with GPS and providing location data, and also addresses an issue that could cause apps deleted from the Apple Watch to be reinstalled.
You can download iOS 8.4 on your iPhones and iPads right now.
So the price in the end is 6 euro or 9 eruo for family sharing
who does the design there? the music is really shocking - it doesn't fit the last one :(
music:
icon - I assume that most people (including me) have phone, mail, safari and music at the bottom. how can the dominant color be white and blue in the last three? the back icon in native applications does not have a transition - note has it (o). the music should be distinct and therefore red seemed much better to me
non-functional - shared by the author, after clicking on the author, an empty page is displayed; stations other than Beat1 or whatever it's called
bad for the eye – the text is set in a larger font than the last one, the offer extends to the status bar (when clicking on ... and expanding the long offer, what to do with the text)
last: then I didn't think about anything and everything works as it should or worked with the previous OS (iPhone 4S 16GB previous iOS 8.3)
I hope the flashlight will be fine and my opinion :)
I have the impression that once again Apple has released something that is a little underwhelming. I don't understand why I now have two icons for music - Music and iTunes Store. In addition, all the icons in the status bar for music uploaded to the iPhone from the computer have collapsed into a single one - My Music. This is not how I imagine a clearly organized music player.
Yeah, even the new iOS is kind of broken. It lags, the sounds go crazy, the music changes the volume by itself and I'm curious to see what else will happen to me.
I don't know, I didn't get the hang of it for about 1/2 hour either, but now I like it. But the extra icon for Music and iTunesStore was always there ???? Already on the iPhone 3G, there was an extra icon for the player and an extra icon for the iTunesStore
Yes, but now I have a lot of other things mixed up in my player, and that player is just one icon in the status bar.
There are many more albums than on spotify, the possibility of video clips is also ok. I'm a bit bothered by the fact that when I click to start the hub, I wait 1-2 seconds before it loads, they have better with spotify. Yes, there is still a lot to fine-tune, but basically I was expecting a much worse start, so far I am satisfied.
Maybe a faster start with Spotify, but what drove me crazy there was that an album where one track smoothly transitions into another often had a 1-2 second pause. I immediately tested it on Apple Music and this is OK so far.
Why do I have to make a playlist of the songs on my phone so I can listen to them all?? Or does anyone know how to play all the songs from the phone after this certainly perfect update?
So with some missclick I managed to display only the music available offline, which solves everything
Can you please come up with another way than to put "tracks" > start > crawl to the edge of the track > click "shuffle"? it's complicated :( thanks for the tip! :)
ps does it also happen to you when you click through from "songs" > "artists" > "or whatever" and it turns on/off "show itunes purchases" for a millisecond?
When will iOS 9 public beta?
Anyone else getting the same error? I have it on both my iPhone and iPad.
It happened to me once, before everything was loaded in the system, anyway, as soon as I download music from Apple Music, the phone restarts... Sometimes several times and it's quite annoying....
Yeah, 8.4 is severely unstable :-(
I need advice, do you know how to put my music on there so that I can see all my songs? It offers me to see only "Playlist" :/
Thanks for advice
the music application now seems completely logical and transparent to me and prettier than before.
Does anyone know how to display all songs please?
This is exactly what I need to know!:((…I regret updating this..
see Gabka's answer :)
under the pictures of the albums on the opening page is the album, artist, album, etc. in "red font". ... just click and select the desired list, see the attached picture :)
I like the design, it looks like the old days of iOS. I really hate the Recently Added option because it dominates the whole player and there is no way to turn it off. It also bothers me that when I view the songs, I can't start the shuffle right away, like in the previous version. I'm also bummed that when I open the mini player to look at the lyrics, the album artwork is small and so are the lyrics. In the previous version, text on the iPad was full-screen portrait. Damage. But I love Beats1 radio, I really missed that, but I can't start other radios than Beats1. I also love that I can make my own playlist while listening to music, add upcoming ones and play next, just like in iTunes.
So far, I have restarted my 5S twice after the update. First, the iPhone was insanely slow. The second reboot caused the voice typing feature to stop working.
The design is stolen from me, I need it to work. If things keep going like this, I don't know where I'm going to end up. Because the updates make my device a placemat under the table for 20 liters for the recess.
I'll probably start a competition company through the fundraising for projects, if things continue to go bad like this.
When I display Artists (my most common ones) and the artist has more than 2 albums, after clicking on the artist, the individual albums are displayed (you can then click on the songbooks), but I don't know how to play "all the songs" of the given artist, or their shuffle... when the artist has two albums, clicking on them will display all the songs...divided into albums similar to drives...does anyone know of a magic click to change it?
Hello, when I register for music, I get a message that there is a problem with credit, otherwise everything in the itunes store and the app store works, what could be the problem?
After installing on 8.4 on iPhone 6, it lags terribly when making calls. I click on the number to call and it takes 8 seconds before it even starts dialing. Is this happening to anyone too?
After yesterday
installation 8/4 on iPhone 4s Album Artworks do not appear (except those purchased from Apple
Store) even though I have them all in iTunes.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Since I installed iOS 8.4, the maximum volume of my headphones has been greatly reduced, when listening to music from both YT and Apple Music. Could this be caused by that?
I have exactly the same problem... ;(
That's terrible! I already thought I was deaf :D.. Like me, I can't even hear the music at home, where it's quiet... It plays so terribly quietly :( I prefer it when it's really loud :D
try the home button twice and fire facebook. turns down the music volume :/
Since installing iOS 8.4, my charged iPad Air 2 does not last a day, before it was 3-4 days.
That Beats 1 radio is a shock, there's always some rap on there. Didn't Apple ever say who the radio was made for? I would know, but I don't want to say it out loud. :D
Hi, I left this update unattended for a couple of days and now it's asking me for some code, could someone please help me? I still read your comments, does it make sense to run it at all? Thanks Jakub
After installation on the 4S, Wi-Fi does not work and the battery drains about 8x faster - even when the phone is locked
Hi, I have an iphone 6 and before I installed iOS 8.4 all my music was playing without a problem, but since I got it, for example one song plays, it ends and another one follows and it plays for like 10 seconds and then skips to next. Some may not play at all, and immediately it continues to the next one. Does anyone have a similar problem or don't know what to do with it?
Hello, I have a question about the iPhone 5s and the imusic application, both with the old version of iOS and with 8.4. When playing, I have to have the sound all the way up to be able to hear it, until then, until I move the song forward in time or receive an SMS, the song being played will be amplified. How can I solve this problem?
