Beats 1 has been the free version of Apple Music service for some time, but no one really knew that because of disjointed marketing/branding. This is a good step in unifying the services into a cohesive set of offerings.
- at-fates-hands 6y agoThat's an interesting point. I just switched back to iOS about a year ago and I haven't seen an ad for it in the app store or had it recommended for any of the music players I've test driven since I switched back. I'm not sure if that's just bad marketing or is it Apple not pushing its own products in the app store?
- jasonlotito 6y agoOkay, but why would I, someone who doesn't pay for Apple Music, care about a grand total of two new stations? You say This is a good step in unifying the services into a cohesive set of offerings, but honestly, as someone who tries out Apple Music once a year for free and then goes back to Spotify, I have one takeaway from this announcement. Apple Music users are getting... 2 whole new stations. That's it. Oh, and a rebrand. If this is supposed to be a big marketing push, they are doing a good job at encouraging me to stay on Spotify.
