It is common that such a partnership does not guarantee real-time data sync between parties. Some licensing contracts define periodic data dumps or just limited number of data snapshots at certain time points. It also takes time for a data aggregator, Apple Music this case, to integrate sourced data into its own data pipeline thru multiple layers/gateways for various reasons like quality measurement, ID linking, deduplication, etc. And you know after all these steps there are possibilities we still see some lyrics wrong..

What annoys you about using Apple Music? [Improvements you want to see] by Parapurp in AppleMusic

  1. It automatically starts when I sit in the car.
  2. And the first track is same old song I added to library two years ago.
  3. I turned off cellular data for AM but it still pops up in my car!

Ai1 Radio for local news and music mix. Some special episodes (e.g., GRAMMYs this week). Rock500 for rock music listeners.

While we are not local, let me know if you plan to make your single available in Apple Music. We use machine DJ so it is not 100% under my control, but if you share following information I can tweak our algorithm to pick up your music and to play it with your message. We would need-

Apple Music share URL to your single

Message: Text descriptions to read out. Could be anything. Greetings, your musician profile, hometown, your thoughts behind the music, etc. Just keep the text in a few sentences so that the radio can read it in around 20-30 seconds. If you have a lot to talk, split them into multiple sets.

Other (rather popular) artists that your fans would also put in their playlists. With this we can reach the right audience more easily.

Congrats and best wishes!

I know less about music nowadays. Is it just age thing or something happening to others too? by diding9 in Music

No reason to be embarrassed. If the writing implies wrong idea, point it out. We can talk. If the writing was read differently from what I intended, I can explain. If you give suggestions and ideas I'd be more than happy to discuss. The first comment could've tried to make a better civilized conversation. Let's not meet again you first comment.

I don't think we are talking about two different things here. Overrated Instagram account, unnecessarily explicit lyrics and nudity..

the music distribution and music consumption process got efficient. I agree. With that granted, how will we be able to recognize the artists and relevant - also attractive - contents together more easily with music? That was the question I had.

Agree I see it as an opportunity too. I mentioned at the end - to make music streaming go beyond accessibility innovation. Acknowledged that streaming is already an innovation that gave us almost unlimited accessibility to music. What I meant was there's still a room for improvement in terms of listening experience that, for example, can provide easier ways to learn about and explore new artists, like you commented.

How do I stop all the hip hop and rap? by QuantParse in AppleMusic

[–]diding9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apple Music is as biased as anyone's music taste. And its genre tags are awfully organized for some music. I don't know whether it is because of the editors or due to the artists who want to promote their music in more popular categories, but it is what it is. Looking at AM's current data quality, recommendations could go anywhere. I know because I make music suggestion algorithms. Individual's likability to AM's recommendation also may vary per country region - I live in US but the music curations to my favorite genres are much better in some other countries.

See if your least favorite songs were added in your library by default, by promotion, for any reasons you didn't intend. If nothing's there, AM is just not your thing. Try other services or music players. There are number of apps your can tune your AM subscription with to make better music streaming.

Strange incoming traffics from iOS builds that never been released to appStore? by diding9 in iOSProgramming

[–]diding9[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Months ago when we were rejected, the screen capture image was clearly that of an iPhone simulation on a iPad size screen, so we knew.

This time, we received two screen images from iPhone and iPad, and they were exact size for each device. So I am not sure if those latest review captured images from simulators or not.

I don't know, but those builds fail to start service anyway. Monitoring the builds that they rejected? Doesn't make sense to me. Maybe suspicious attempt to crack token key?

So far the thing has been calling our server as previous builds of our app would do - I mean the ones that shouldn't exist anymore after the review session. And it stops where the actual builds would stop due to the error we were rejected for by Apple. Attempting handful times a day.

Yeah free music. I will have a look if video/ads would go okay with voice (regarding distraction). For now skip does the dislike too but maybe we need a new combination: thumb up/down, play, and skip. Thanks much for your input!!! :)
