You can do that for free on Google Music. I get more use out of Google Music because I was able to upload all of my limited edition releases that are never going to be on a cloud service so that I have access to them whenever I am out on the go. Erm, I don't want to appear a total luddite but how do you go about that? Is there no subscription at all or any upload limit? You have to have a Google account; easy and free to get. You then can upload up to 50000 tracks from your own collection to stream....wherever. And yes, that is free. There is a subscription service, but that is not necessary to have to upload your own music. Yup. It is a little clunky and unless you have a really small music collection it is best to selectively upload things, which makes it more complicated. But once you upload all of that is available for streaming from your own account, which includes things that are never going to be available on their streaming service. You need to download the music manager on your PC if you want to only upload specific things. If you are selective then the chances of meeting their upload limit are even less likely.    Posted:   Jul 23, 2015 - 11:44 PM     By:   simon377   (Member) This is why I don't own a single Apple product, nor subscribe to a single one of their services. Listening to music shouldn't be that hard. Love my CDs! :-) This why I don't own a single CD. I simply hand the music to the conductor and have the orchestra play it for me.    Posted:   Jul 24, 2015 - 7:15 AM     By:   Shaun Rutherford   (Member) ^ Haha    Posted:   Jul 24, 2015 - 8:17 AM     By:   Solium   (Member) This is why I don't own a single Apple product, nor subscribe to a single one of their services.

Listening to music shouldn't be that hard. Love my CDs! :-) Word! Really. Above you're saying you're using iTunes. That's an apple product as is its playlists. My impression is apple knows there is a problem and has been seen hiring engineers to improve meta-data for iTunes Store etc. as well as cloud architects. This was before release of Apple music.    Posted:   Jul 24, 2015 - 8:48 AM     By:   Solium   (Member) This is why I don't own a single Apple product, nor subscribe to a single one of their services. Listening to music shouldn't be that hard. Love my CDs! :-) Word! Really. Above you're saying you're using iTunes. That's an apple product as is its playlists. 99% of my collection is on CD. I'm in complete control of my music regardless if I listen to it in iTunes or in a CD player. If iTunes destroyed my digital musical collection with an update I still can play all my CD's. That was the point. I also use iTunes to make personal playlist then burn them to CD. So it has other uses other than streaming.    Posted:   Jul 24, 2015 - 4:14 PM     By:   KeoNato   (Member) I'm seeing I'm on the complete opposite end of the spectrum. I've only got 38 physical CD's in my collection -- less than 15% of my collection. Brave new world, I suppose.    Posted:   Aug 13, 2015 - 6:40 PM     By:   jkannry   (Member) In the words of the dentist in Marathon Man "s it safe? Is it safe?" Did iTunes 12.2.2 and iOS 8.4.1 solve the problems?    Posted:   Aug 14, 2015 - 7:42 AM     By:   ryankeaveney   (Member) Since turning off Apple Music on my iMac, I've been enjoying the service on my iPhone trouble-free. I've streamed the full albums for ANT-MAN, THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E, FANTASTIC FOUR, FAR FROM THE MADDING CROWD, SOUTHPAW, THE END OF THE TOUR, PIXELS and have had the service streaming at work for weeks. Can't complain about the $0 price either.    Posted:   Aug 19, 2015 - 6:55 AM     By:   Solium   (Member) A news report today states that almost 50% of the ppl that tried Apple Music have dropped the service. If true not a surprise. Apple has been leading from behind for years, where in the past they used to be the innovators. Apple is disputing the numbers saying 75% have kept the service after their free trial period.    Posted:   Aug 19, 2015 - 9:14 AM     By:   Sean Nethery   (Member) I'm not gonna get into the debate on this. But one point for reference, from the article below: "Spotify says it has 20 million paid subscribers, and another 55 million who use a free version of the streaming music service." In other words, just over 25% of Spotify's subscribers pay - which is interesting in itself, since the other 75% have to listen to frequent commercials. So it actually looks good for Apple even if the number of people willing to pay remains at 50% of the total who had it for free. Or at least they are in the same ball park. Except of course Apple isn't offering a free version, and is commercial free, thus more like Amazon Prime Music (and I assume Google? Haven't tried that....). http://recode.net/2015/06/10/spotify-has-20-million-paid-subscribers/     General Discussion: Apple Music...    << < 2 3 4  >   Go to page:  1 2 3 4   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1 2 3 4
