The order have no importance, the point is that they are not responsible of their own responsabilities.

. The Apple Music application is no usable in a car while you are driving in the way that it is not able to make a simple slide (every music app are able to make a finger slide) . The IA does not understand that when you say that you do not like a music, that also mean stop to play that shit and find me something better. It will continue to haras you with the same horrible stuff. . The French magic keyboard is nice for writing that words but no able to make a | in their own terminal. . The iPhone and the watch are made to unlock while driving but no you have to get your sunglass out because it is not able to do it ... or you have to stop to drive and compose the code -_-' . There is no Apple true source code editor there is VSCode . There is certainly more things to say ...



Agree that Apple Music needs some improvements when driving and cannot access the screen.

Playing my 'personal' station in the car loads usually 2 to 15 tracks. These play in a loop. Wait, what?-I thought this was a station? Have to click the 'personal' station button again to load the next 2-15 tracks.

This kind of thing has gotten worse since they moved to server-side authentication. Every single request made has to be authenticated first....on the server side. If there is a lot of traffic you just have to wait. Try adding a song to a playlist; often this takes just a few seconds but sometimes it can take a few minutes (Wi-Fi or cellular, doesn't matter).

Apple has a mostly captive audience, so their services can survive by being "just good enough".


Can someone translate into some cohesive points?

right now this reads like a rambling rant and I’m not sure I expect this kind of post on hn.


Apple Music in a car when you are in an area with no network signal. Urgh! Try getting to downloaded music while you are driving (don’t do this)!


Go to Playlists, choose ‚downloaded Music‘ (don’t know the exact description in English, I’m German): You get a list with all downloaded music an can play it. If you’re in a area with just EDGE Apple Music is skipping all titles which are not on your device and is playing just downloaded music. At least as long you play a random list.
