To be honest, if the majority of the people here liked this then I really would be worried.
Bear at in mind that Apple is looking to attract the next generation of users. The folk sitting around the camp fire here, reminiscing about the good old days under Steve, don't really figure in Apple' long term plan: we won't live long enough.
What Apple is Apple thinking?
Well, they're thinking that even as a fifty year old bloke, Dre shifted half a million copies of his last album. Compton grossed about $200 million on a limited release and has been nominated for an Oscar.
I'm going to see what they come up with and then decide.
You jest - we are the only ones with enough disposable income to be able to afford Apple products ;-)
Who says they're buying Apple and Beats gear with their own money?
Much better than the pommy NHS where the only option is to wait in the queue
The pommys have private healthcare available too, if you want to pay for it. I think the majority of people who are signed up get it as an employment perk.
how would it be distributed through Applemusic? Applemusic is a platform For music/audio content right? And Apple has a video distibution channal iTunes(lol)
I guess Apple execs think keeping inline with the convoluted tradition of iTunes and its naming is a good thing. A music store named after a music terminology (tunes)…..doing contact and calendar syncs, software updates, renting movies, tv episodes, managing Apps, podcasts..photos…Etc…And oh yes Music too…(And music is how its started).
The above,i guess, is logical for Apple’s ‘Think out of the box”….” keep it intuitive and simple” philosophy…..?!
BUT Yet ..Apple thinks they should keep iTunes and Applemusic seperate when it comes to music??? …… I can subscribe to videos in Applemusic but I cant buy music in Applemusic… I can listen to my purchased music, i can listen to radio, i have access to all of Apples music library … I can discover music in many ways( through a confused ui) …But if i choose to purchase a track i discovered in Applemusic i have to switch to another app, ITunes to do so… Lol…WHY?? ? ridiculous ! Yet i can watch video subscriptions on Apple Music??
I can see this video thing being done to get people to subscribe to Apple Music.. … Its a a good business model for constant recurring revenue …
but Hey Apple: If Apple Music was intended to be channel for subscriptions only ( no purchase) and u had this in mind from the get go, (and i hope there is some kind of thought and long term planing involved in this kind of initiatives)………..Why call it Apple MUSIC ??? Didn't you learn anything from the itunes mess.?
Apple music…a music app that allows me to watch videos but does not allow me to purchase music.
How Coherent Apple… Or am i missing something here. Anyway.. A lot of rant …forgive me.. Its the frustration. Its stuff like this sprinkled all over the place that worries fans and investors….. Sigh..

It is unfortunate to have 'Dre', 'Sex' and 'Violence' in one sentence.
