discover your music
If there is something that Apple must polish if or if Apple Music is the algorithm to discover music. This algorithm allows you meet new songs or bands based on your tastes and previous listening habits and is one of the fundamental axes that every music application needs and that it works correctly. However, even though Apple has gone improving little by littlethe discover music function usually offers you bands, groups or songs that you have known or know, but they do not offer new artists or musical styles.
Together with the aforementioned algorithm, Apple could offer the possibility of improve customization or set filters based on your musical tastes, in order to offer more information to the application and that it can recommend better artists, bands or genres based on your leaks.
Another problem that shows that the algorithm needs to improve is that, when you are going to discover music, You will see songs that you have already heard that same day or previous days, so an option such as “seen” or a double check could appear so that the algorithm knows that it should not promote said song among the first options.
Bad user experience
Many users, when they first access the Apple Music Interface, They may have the perception that it is a somewhat confusing and overwhelming platform, with too many options and functions presented at once, so it could be interesting to establish a much more minimalist navigation, which allows you to quickly connect with the content you are looking for. The Shortcuts App could have a great weight here.
Along with the interface, the library and playlists It is another of the sections that Apple Music could improve. This could include more intuitive features for sorting and browsing music, and more flexibility for organizing and editing playlists. Even, through AI, generate playlists based on your musical tastes.
Social features and marketing
The purpose of Apple Music is to offer a music service to its users and a place where artists can make themselves known. However, Spotify has developed the possibility of being able to see the concerts that is near your location and even be able to reserve tickets from the application, as well as give “I’m interested” or share the concert or festival.
Along with this, it has added the possibility that the bands can sell merchandise to their fans, either directly or by going to the official app of the record label or band, which means new financial support for amateur bands that are beginning to grow, as well as making the Music application not only an auditory environment , but in a place where you can manage your entire musical world.
Finally, when you share a song on social networks, you have little ability to personalize the message and you only have access to the filters that the social network in question has. Spotify has created a specific filter for each of the songs you share, to generate greater visual richness.
