Last year , Apple startle into the streaming music game with Apple Music , which turn out to bea wholly uninspiring clone of Beats Music . Here come Apple Music ’s 2d drift , but will it be enough ?
Apple Music was n’t the Spotify killer it needed to be . The ware has acquired 15 million users by virtue of being an Apple product , but it ’s still lagging behind Spotify in both users — Spotify has 30 million paying indorser — and overall functionality .
Apple ’s overhaul comes for Spotify with a intention that looks quite a snatch like Spotify , although Apple ’s app is n’t receive the dark - theme overhaul that was bruit this give .

In particular , Apple is highlighting new discovery tools . Spotify ’s Discover Weekly playlist , and more broadly it ’s “ Browse ” part , are very well designed , and for this reason very pop . Until now , Apple ’s had some great curated playlists , but it ’s still not great at quickly get you to music that you ’re likely to enjoy . The app is a mess hall .
The redesign Apple Music is cleaned up with a aerodynamic user interface that ’s light to crop . The beneficial new feature film is the For You discussion section , which includes a Discover Mix that looks like a complete ripoff of Spotify ’s Discover Weekly . It ’s a playlist of stuff you will care based on what you listen to . A great idea , if only Apple had it first .
Apple Music now also includes words . The insertion of this feature head to easily the most cringeworthy moment of today ’s WWDC Keynote . Do you want to know what it sounds like when thousands of rhythmically challenged developer seek to tap along to “ Rapper ’s Delight ” ? It ’s not pretty .

last , it appears that Apple is defeat its basically useless Connect feature , which attempted to incorporate some social find features . It was rubbish , and I ’m glad it ’s dead .
All in all , this seems to be a nice UI climb for Apple Music , but it ’s scarcely the sea change a deal of multitude were hoping for . The salutary new estimate are n’t new at all — they’re lift like a shot from Spotify . Oh well , gazillion of mass will in all probability still use it anyway .
