    Apple Music is a mess, and it's alienating the company's biggest fans

    Apple Music is shaping up to be Apple's worst received product launch since Apple Maps in 2012.
    Apple Music, released in June, was supposed to be Apple's big splash into the world of subscription on-demand music and online radio. But it seems to have a lot of bugs.

    Longtime Apple watcher Jim Dalrymple wrote about his experiences last week, saying that the Apple Music app on his phone deleted more than 4,000 songs after presenting a bunch of confusing options that were hard to override. (He later got most of it back.)

    • their resources.fadein11
    • Yeah, true. However, iTunes is hated by the biggest fans, but not by the wider audience.... and they're after the wider audienceKrassy
    • I think the wider audience tolerate a bad product because they dominate that market - not really Apple's ethos to be satisfied with sub-standard products, orfadein11
    • never used to be.fadein11
    • yup. sad but true.Krassy
    • I think iTunes is despised by the larger audience too. THat's just me guessing though.monospaced
