That was an inordinate amount of pomp and circumstance for an updated Music app.
A radio station? No time shifting? People replaced their radios with Walkmen and iPods for a reason...
And "Connect" just sounds like Ping 2.0.
- zyxley 11y ago> That was an inordinate amount of pomp and circumstance for an updated Music App. "We're basically cloning the entire feature set of Spotify and integrating that into our existing services" is bigger than you give it credit for.
- underyx 11y agoIt's not even the entire feature set. For instance, it seems like I can't control different devices with it, which has lately grown to be an essential feature for me — 60% of the time when I have my phone on the charger, I can just yell 'Okay, Google' from across the room, and Spotify will put whatever music I ask it to on my PC's speakers.
- threeseed 11y agoPretty sure that's available today. I just say 'Hey Siri play XYZ' on my watch and the music plays on my car stereo.
- ctdonath 11y agoOne channel? Huh? I thought scheduled channel content was over.
- k-mcgrady 11y agoConsidering the Music app is probably one of the few that nearly everybody uses and they're completely changing how that works and how they want you to enjoy music it seems like just the right amount of pomp and circumstance.
- Grue3 11y agoI'm glad somebody remembers Ping. Apple's music offerings are not exactly a stream of successes as some like to think.
