  • If I knew that all I had to do was write a blog post about Apple Music’s absence from AAOS to actually get Apple Music on AAOS, I would have done it a year ago!

    Seriously, folks. The same day I wrote this post, Apple Music app was sitting there waiting for me when I hopped in the car.

    I’ve only used it a couple days, but it is already clear that Apple Music is the best software I have used on AAOS so far. It embraces all of the AAOS standards (Material Design), and actually has the features I would expect in a music app in a car.

    Lesson for the young folks out there. Details and humane interface designs matter.

  • Pandora’s True Value

    Pandora’s stock has been getting rocked lately with Apple Music and Spotify making it awfully hard to compete. When you can play practically any song on demand, “radio” seems too slow and out of touch. The idea of Internet radio is likely over at this point, but that does not mean Pandora has no value. In fact, the opposite is true. Pandora’s value is not in its ability to play music. The value is in its predictive engine. That is what it needs to license to others. No one can come close to its accuracy. Imagine Apple Music’s For You section with predictions from Pandora’s engine. People would play more new music bringing in revenue for Apple Music and lesser known artists. It is a win-win situation.
