Good point, Tony. Apple wanted to make it cheaper and the music industry said "no".
I'll give Apple Music a try, but really am not into streaming music services. I like Sirius XM because it's cheaper than using a cell data plan to listen to music in the car - and you can get some really reasonable deals if you call them to cancel. If somebody is burning through a cell data plan listening to streaming music, then Spotify has a 96kb/s playback mode.
It would be nice if an Apple Music subscription will charge against my iTunes balance, just like my other subscriptions. Then it won't really cost me $9.99/month. Also, since it will be doing the same thing I use iTunes Match for, that's $24.99/year I wouldn't be spending.

Give us some differentiations. Some wheels are just round, not a lot that can be added. As I see it, Apple just jumping on the bandwagon and nothing wrong with that. If others are selling, Apple should too

Yeah, what Apple's doing with music over the Internet seems to be a bunch of things rolled into one kinda confusing ball of wax. I don't know why it has to be confusing. Maybe I'm the only one who's confused, but I don't think so.
Apple is just imitating other people, and from what I see so far, they're not differentiating themselves sufficiently from the others to make themselves extremely attractive. That's too bad, and I don't think it was inevitable. Lack of creative spark.
Steve! Come back!

For the monthly fee, you can stream or download any songs from the iTunes catalog provided that the artist allows streaming of his music. This how Rhapsody, Tidal, etched. Work as well.

Thanks, Pat. So it looks like they are trying to draw people away from iTunes, where we have music we purchased or downloaded from CDs, and change us to a $10 a month service, where we won't get to choose what we hear.I will continue to watch, since I already pay for XM on 2 cars and really like Pandora (free).And mostly listen to my iTunes, anyway.Carol
