  • Apple Music, other streaming services account for 80% of music industry revenue

    boboliciousbobolicious
    ...to me it begs the question what percentage of these revenues has historically made it to the content creators - and to be clear I mean musicians & composers...? I buy direct from musicians whenever I can...

  • Apple eases app notarization conditions ahead of macOS Catalina release

    boboliciousbobolicious
    It’s going to be a slaughterhouse for the users who unknowingly update to Catalina only to find that the wonder-app they’ve been using won't work anymore.
    Is that in the end actually the point...?

    All of the Beats/Apple headphone offerings are relatively low quality from a sound perspective. Beats are for bassheads, Airpods for people who like the functionality and don't care about sound quality. Apple, who claims music is in their DNA, still only offer compressed low-quality audio on Apple Music and at best mediocre audio quality headphones, poor sound capabilities on Macs and iPhones etc. They have never been in the high resolution audio market and prefer to cater to the masses not anyone who is remotely close to being an audiophile. Probably a very accurate analysis by Consumer Reports. Before anyone says I'm an Apple haterl, lets just say I have an iPhone, iPad Pro, 2019 i9 Macbook Pro and the latest Apple watch. Love their products. However when it comes to music streaming/purchase I chose hires music on Quobuz, have Shure KSE 1500 electrostats and use an Astell & Kern SP1000 as the quality from Apple in terms of audio largely sucks.
    Is it really fair to compare with a $3,500 player?  us.astellnkern.com/products/a-ultima-sp1000?
    I understood the fundamental electronics (iPhone/iPod) including the DAC to be well reviewed,
    and while I use wired pro grade ear buds, I have found lossless output to be excellent on such as Klipshorns...

  • Editorial: Apple's use of 'iPhone Pro' is a marketing label, not a personal description

    ...last time I checked the dictionary definition of 'professional' it was someone paid for the activity in reference... Pretty simple really.

    So for those that use a computer to generate income (now or anticipated/invested for the future) does the term apply to many potential aspects, such as better performance, portability, creative potential or even hardware upgradability / adaptability, with justification in suit for any cost-benefit...?
