Do you still use Apple Music?

apple music banIn the middle of this year the company Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), launched the service with great fanfare Apple Music which offers iDevice owners and Android users the opportunity to listen Beats 1 Radio and online music with a variety of benefits.

In Romania Apple Music costs only 4.99 euroso and this money is part of the functions that the rest of the civilized world benefits from, the exception being the iTunes Match system that allows the creation of a music library in iCloud with the songs available on our computers, regardless of where they were purchased.

The price requested for Apple Music is halved compared to the one practiced in Western Europe and this is because we don't have iTunes Match, but even so many people questioned the feasibility of using Apple Music, especially in the early days when the iCloud Music Library could not be activated.

With this problem solved and with option to save music offline for listening, I can tell you that I only use Apple Music occasionally, and that's because I haven't listened to Beats 1 Radio for several months, and iTunes Radio repeats the same songs over and over until you get bored.

Saving music offline is very useful if you make frequent backups and pass them from one update to another, but even this procedure becomes difficult to maintain in the conditions where iOS has a tendency to break itself with each update and discarding the old data is the only method to solve the problem.

Apple Music offers similar benefits to other competing audio streaming services available for iPhone or other smartphones, but the advantage of having it integrated into iOS is perhaps the advantage that convinces many people to continue using it, but Apple no longer boasted of much with the numbers of subscribers.

From my point of view, Apple Music and streaming services have their utility for those who need such a thing, but in my case this is not happening so I will soon give up the subscription because I simply do not need he.
