Apple launched its new music service, Apple Music, this month and it looks like not everyone is happy with it. If you look at Apple fan sites (we all know who they are), they are raving about Apple Music. One Apple Blogger however, isn't so pleased with Apple's new service. In fact, he wants it off his devices.
The Loop's Jim Dalrymple, a serious Apple fan, blogged about the headache he had with Apple Music. The bottom line is he's done.
Here's the thing about Apple. They simply suck at services. They make fantastic hardware, but their services are terrible. Think about it. Which services would you say are strong for Apple. iTunes? Hardly. What about iCloud? It's a mess. Remember MobileMe or Maps? Google even beat Apple at Photos on Apple's own platform. Apple simply does not know how to make solid services and it's sad.
Apple probably should have simply kept the Beats branding and created Apple Beats as a separate streaming service. Merging it with iTunes Match, and iTunes, has caused a lot of confusion for users.
What about you? Do you like Apple Music?

As if all of that wasn’t enough, Apple Music gave me one more kick in the head. Over the weekend, I turned off Apple Music and it took large chunks of my purchased music with it. Sadly, many of the songs were added from CDs years ago that I no longer have access to. Looking at my old iTunes Match library, before Apple Music, I’m missing about 4,700 songs. At this point, I just don’t care anymore, I just want Apple Music off my devices.
