i can't play a song because i need subscription to play a song. spotify is better I know Spotify has ads but I don't want pay for a single music on apple music.
I should not have to pay for a subscription to play music I purchased. No other service requires me to pay for a subscription to listen to my purchases. Amazon let's me play them, YouTube music let's me play music I uploaded with no subscription.
Not free. I prefer actually being able to listen which songs I synchronised on Spotify, instead of listening 10 seconds. I prefer downloading songs.
i like how good sound quality is, but there are so many problem. I just paid the subscription and then i cannot play the music because of region. that's ridiculous, i'm not changing the region. apple just robbed me
I paid for the subscription and it doesn't even allow me to play music.
