This is like a bully sitting on your chest controlling your arms going ‘don't punch your face!’. You preinstall Apple Music on a billion+ devices, undercut your competitors on a subsidized price they can never match, boost yourself with illegal anticompetitive features and entitlements and systemwide ad spots, regularly stall them from submitting updates, and then complain they don't innovate enough??

I'm seriously about ready for this company to burn to the ground

Apple Music is so 'innovative' that I had to nuke my 20 year old hand-curated library of a hundred+ thousand songs because of the catastrophic, unfixable mess the software made of it. I'm now living off a single tiny playlist

@stroughtonsmith I highly recommend Tidal.

I keep trying to give Apple Music a chance, since it’s integrated in my HomePods, it’s bundled in Apple One, etc. but Tidal is just better.

@stroughtonsmith or if you want to use your own music.. Plex with Plexamp. I use this for my legacy library and Tidal for music discovery. Plex also integrates with Tidal so you can get the best of both worlds.
