RE: Apple Music and Spotify

2016-08-21 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Hi Scott,

It is my understanding that the reason why you can't buy books from the Audible 
app is because if this were possible Audible (Amazon) would have to pay Apple 
as it would be considered to be an in-app purchase. I'm not saying that this 
necessarily is an excuse, I'm sure Apple could allow the purchase of digital 
content and somehow differentiate this from other in-app purchases.

As for opening up the SIRI API for apps like Audible or other music streaming 
services that is in my view just a matter of time.

Also, as for Apple Music on other platforms, it may not work with the Amazon 
Echo, but it works beautifully with Sonos. Now Sonos just has to somehow make 
it possible to allow for SIRI input as well since of course inside the Sonos 
app tcontrolling Apple Music with SIRI is not possible.


Regards,
Sieghard

A few comments
First, I highly doubt Apple will open up the Siri API to music apps, since that 
would take away a bit from the draw of Apple Music. Kind of like how you cannot 
purchase Kindle books on your iDevice or content from audible. If it's in 
direct competition with Apple, the likelyhood they would allow it seems rather 
low to me.
What I like most about Spotify is that the radio feature seems to work better, 
and I'm able to use it on all my devices: my PC at work, my iPhone, and my Echo 
Dot. Apple Music is a pain to use on anything other than an Apple product, and 
doesn't exist on the Echo platform.
I've not tried the Windows app, and that's off topic for this list, but now 
that I have Win 10, I may.

Hi 

I don’t have the purpose to make an advertisement here but I want to state that 
the owners of a paypal account now have the possibility to have 60 days spotify 
premium for free and I did so.

I have one question. Can it be that it is not possible with an iphone to create 
a new playlist.

For my pc I have the windows os and NVDA and downloaded tthe web app spotify, 
it’s almost fully accessible and I managed to create my own playlists and give 
them names and thus I can add songs to these own lists with my iphone without 
any problems when using the context menu in the ios app but creating my own 
playlists with the phone doesn’t seem to work now or am I missing something?

You can always get premium, which takes away all limitations and ads. I wish 
they would specify all of the differences somewhere in the app. Apparently 
downloading requires premium. And I gather that you can get higher quality if 
you're using premium. But I haven't seen a list of all those things. I wish 
there was one maybe I'm missing it.

2016-08-20 Thread Sharonda Greenlaw
One thing that I like with Spotify is that if I choose not to have the
premium version, I can still retain my playlists. With Apple Music, if
I no longer keep my subscription, I will no longer have access to the
music that I have grown to love. In fact, even the radio is
unavailable. *sad*

Hello, HMM, maybe because that's what I tried it on first? Just a guess. I've

How can you cope with it on iPad though as I find it more frustrating than the 
app on iPhone and iPod.

 Hello everyone.
 
 While I am committed to Apple Music as am subscribed to the family plan, 
 I’m sorry, but wow! Spotify is now completely accessible from what I can 
 see. The interface is also no longer hard to use. Found out today that 
 Spotify is RNIB’s app of the month so thought to check out the latest 
 version and am amazed so far with the usability and accessibility of the 
 app. Sure I used Spotify countless times before, and there was always 
 something missing with the app. That seems to now be a thing of the past. 
 As for membership, the free one will do. I can live with ads.
 
 Happy listening!!!

No opinions here, just an option to have at your disposal. Someone posted a 
very good scenario where an album isn’t available on Apple Music but is

RE: Apple Music and Spotify

2016-08-20 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
It will be available for third party apps, but it is going to be restricted at 
least for now. Here is an excerpt from an article on 9to5 Mac:

For iOS 10.0, the Siri API will only work with six kinds of application:
ride booking (think Uber)
Messaging
Photo Search (find photos and videos in a particular app)
Payments (‘Send $100 to John with SquareCash’)
VoIP Calling (e.g: Skype)
Workouts (for starting health and fitness activities)

The experience for users should be great as long as you are wanting to use 
these types of third-party apps in Siri as Apple handles the complex voice 
understanding. Users must form questions with nouns like ‘WeChat’ to indicate 
they want to interact with a third-party app.
The SiriKit response API's are flexible enough to allow these apps to reply 
with custom, rich, UI. Users will be able to complete their task inline to the 
Siri conversation interface; you don’t have to jump into an app.
However, the way this system is structured it leaves a lot of apps shut out, in 
the cold. Out of the 2 million apps in the App Store, how many fall under the 
support of the six categories? This is the primary downside of the system Apple 
devised.
Some major classes of application are not covered by the third-party Siri SDK 
which Siri is often used for: music apps, podcast apps, sport statistics, 
email, reminders and to-do lists and more. It’s unclear how this will be 
policed too: could an email app class itself as a text message app to slip into 
the Siri experience? This seems like a controversial area for App Review come 
September.
In future versions of iOS, it is reasonable to expect Apple to expand the 
number of app types that can integrate with Siri. iOS 10.1 could easily add a 
couple new kinds of integration. However, will it expand into certain areas 
that it wants to dominate with first-party services?
An obvious omission from the Siri iOS 10 implementation is third-party 
integration for media apps like music streaming.
With iOS 10, Apple Music will be the only way to play audio via Siri. Apple 
probably loves this but for users of competing music services, there is no 
ability for developers to be able to add Siri integration. Apps like Spotify, 
Pandora and Google Pay Music are left in the cold. Apple could add a new music 
media type for Siri SDK in future but will they? Will they keep it closed to 
boost up its own $9.99 streaming service, Apple Music?
This is an open question: we will have to wait and see how quickly Apple ramps 
the Siri SDK and expands the base of possible apps. For the public, Siri SDK 
launches with iOS 10 in the fall.

 Yes, it will be opened up for certain limited categories of apps to start 
with. I can't remember if music or video apps were in the list, but I don't 
think so. Maybe in the future.

RE: Apple Music and Spotify

2016-08-20 Thread Kramlinger, Keith G., M.D.
Hi,

I’ve searched for some albums on AppleMusic and came up with nothing. Some of 
the albums were on Spotify.

This happens infrequently. I used to have Spotify Premium, but canceled it when 
AppleMusic became available within Sonos. I’ve kept the Spotify account open 
within Sonos, so I can see when they have an album and AppleMusic doesn’t when 
I do a Search within Sonos. But, having no active Sonos account any more, I 
can’t access that. If I get to a point that I really want to listen to the 
music Spotify offers that AppleMusic appears to not, then I can always 
reactivate my Spotify Premium. But for now, I’m mostly satisfied with 
AppleMusic.

Keith

Hi Christopher,
I am curious about your Spotify experience, whether or not you tried it on an 
iPad as well as the phone. Maybe you don't have an iPad, I don't know. I recall 
from a while ago when I had Spotify for a while, then it was much more 
difficult to use on the iPad and the phone. I don't even remember why.

Hello everyone.

While I am committed to Apple Music as am subscribed to the family plan, I’m 
sorry, but wow! Spotify is now completely accessible from what I can see. The 
interface is also no longer hard to use. Found out today that Spotify is RNIB’s 
app of the month so thought to check out the latest version and am amazed so 
far with the usability and accessibility of the app. Sure I used Spotify 
countless times before, and there was always something missing with the app. 
That seems to now be a thing of the past. As for membership, the free one will 
do. I can live with ads.

Happy listening!!!

Hi, That's another thing, about the adds, but on the phone, you can only switch 
like 6 times in an hour. IPad, its literally unlimited. You still get the adds,

 You can always get premium, which takes away all limitations and ads. I wish 
they would specify all of the differences somewhere in the app. Apparently 
downloading requires premium. And I gather that you can get higher quality if 
you're using premium. But I haven't seen a list of all those things. I wish

Yeah, Spotify is still more difficult to use on the iPad unfortunately. Yet 
works well on the iPhone and should be the same on the iPod since well the iPod

Hi Christopher,
I am curious about your Spotify experience, whether or not you tried it on an 
iPad as well as the phone. Maybe you don't have an iPad, I don't know. I recall 
from a while ago when I had Spotify for a while, then it was much more 
difficult to use on the iPad and the phone. I don't even remember why.

Hello everyone.

While I am committed to Apple Music as am subscribed to the family plan, I’m 
sorry, but wow! Spotify is now completely accessible from what I can see. The 
interface is also no longer hard to use. Found out today that Spotify is RNIB’s 
app of the month so thought to check out the latest version and am amazed so 
far with the usability and accessibility of the app. Sure I used Spotify 
countless times before, and there was always something missing with the app. 
That seems to now be a thing of the past. As for membership, the free one will 
do. I can live with ads.

Happy listening!!!
