    When Apple Music first debuted, I was hoping for a useful implementation of its personal curation. I EXPECTED it to churn out playlists based on my preferences and listening habits. When I open Apple Music, and click on For You, I expect music lists curated for me. Instead I find these absolutely fucking useless list of artists and albums that I already own and listen to. Thanks... for nothing.

    Following this initial disappointment and major missed opportunity by Apple, I went back to Spotify, ran the update, and found exactly what I was looking for with Apple Music: Discover Weekly. A playlist curated for me regularly based on music I like, and chalk full of new and interesting things.

    This is exactly what Apple should have done. Instead, they just turned Apple Music into a nightmare UI that makes the whole concept of music discovery basically impossible. I've already ranted on how much I can't stand iTunes (and so has everyone else), but that pales compared to what was promised.

    • <This. Discover weekly was the final factor in deciding to stick with Spotify for streaming.Wolfboy

    • I feel like I should be able to open iTunes and have a huge "here's new awesome music for you" front and center.monospaced
    • But switching between Mu Music and Playlists and Radio and For You is a fucking nightmare. No thanks.monospaced
