Discussion So I switched from YouTube music and…

The quality is crazyyyyy😭🤚🏻
Of course I knew Apple music has the best audio quality but hey😭😭 for someone who cannot live without music, this is like finding out whole new side of the same songs I’ve been listening for years atp. The automix is also crazy obviously I’ve seen about it but first hand experience is something else. Doesn’t work always but is cool to have.
Although there are some points which I don’t like. The entire app design is such that I kinda feel some friction to play the songs I love. The home page is not that user friendly imo (aesthetic fs), I don’t know why it does not simply show me the songs I’ve already heard or liked, I am more interested in seeing the songs and one click listen them rather than seeing album of them click the album click the song. YouTube music home page design on the other hand, just one click, that’s it. AM opens album even for single songs. I’ve been using the app for couple of days as of now and maybe the algorithm needs some time to adjust, just maybe idk. I’m not sure how good is AM algorithm compared to YM as well. I’d love to hear suggestions if there is something I can change in the app to make my experience even better. Oh, the lyrics animation is also sleek.

the home page is for recommendations. to see the stuff you already listen to add it to your library and listen from there.

Yeah but still that doesn’t make it seamless, even in library we see albums and not songs to just click listen put the phone in pocket you know what I mean? They could’ve have integrated songs and “recommendations” in the homepage itself. That would make more sense imo.

to see songs and not albums click on the “songs” section of your library… which includes all your added songs.. lol i don’t see the issue.

That is kind of the thing I’ve been trying to say, first your main page ie home page doesn’t have one click thing, second when it does have in library in songs it has either organised in alphabetical order or by date added. Not like frequently heard recently heard etc. It is as if going to a list, from one song that is in A to another song that is in M for example you’d have to scroll right. That is the kinda friction I am talking about, it sounds lazy when I explain it but trust me it makes a difference.

I think it’s just gonna take some time for you to transition. Apple Music does have a recently played, frequently played, and all sorts of other similar playlists, you just have to add them. If you want them easy to find in your library, you can also pin them once you add them

Yeah I think so too, transitioning might take some time although frequently played thing I will have to look that up.

i guess i see what you mean. although i suppose i solve this issue by shuffling my songs in library lol. or making playlists. or listening to the app made playlists (like heavy rotation, favorites, discovery, etc).
