Classic focus and quality

Love the classic focus and strong modern ux. Great for discovery of new and old treasures. High fidelity sound quality too.

Good, not great

What an opportunity to create a beautiful functional app, perhaps pushing the boundaries of the Music App and borrowing ideas from others like Spotify, but since they launched it has never improved much.

Apple has gone the other way with this App and created a restrictive experience that is even less fulfilling than their main Music app.
