It's really harmless. Digital albums don't need to be paid twice. In fact, domestic music clients need to pay twice, once for membership and once for digital albums. Even if you become a member of a certain platform, you need to pay for some singer-specific albums separately. Apple Music doesn't have this problem. As long as you are a member, you can enjoy all the copyright works of Apple Music.
In terms of content quality, Apple Music directly signed a copyright agreement with the record company, which is truly lossless sound quality and can only be compared with Tencent, which has many copyrights in China. Most of the songs of Netease Cloud Music come from covers or user uploads, and the content quality is poor. Even if your player is good, it's useless, not to mention the Apple player is very good.
Apple Music owns several copyrights such as Warner, Sony and Huayan. And has Taylor Swift, EXO, Hebe Tien and other top singers, so it still has certain advantages in copyright. The key point is that the membership price of Apple Music is very cost-effective compared with other platforms, such as individual users 10 yuan/month, family users 15 yuan/month (supporting up to 6 people) and college students 5 yuan/month.
Restraint but not outdated: no open-screen advertising, no reasonable recommendation mechanism, no live broadcast, no community. Apple Music doesn't blindly follow suit. Apple is facing users in the global market, and it is impossible to try some special services in a single market. For example, Apple will not try the live broadcast service, which allows Apple Music to exercise restraint and not blindly follow the trend.
In detail, Apple Music has five main functions: database, recommendation for you, browsing, playing and searching. Apple didn't do the live broadcast like Cool Dog, nor did it do the music community like Netease Cloud Music. There is no blind follow-up in function, and Apple Music has also made personalized recommendations, which are restrained in function but not outdated, with many useful functions and no cumbersome functions.
Apple Music didn't open the screen advertisement. Since Netease Cloud Music began to make large-scale open-screen advertisements, many domestic apps have begun to make various open-screen advertisements. Just like a video website, you have opened a member in time, but you are still harassed by various advertisements from time to time. This kind of user experience is really bad, but Apple Music doesn't have it.
The repository is equivalent to your favorites. After users join the resource pool, it is very convenient to use the same Apple ID synchronously under multiple Apple hardware through iCloud. The recommendation strategy of Apple Music is very reasonable. The recommendation algorithm will recommend the corresponding song list to you according to your listening history. These song lists are very high-quality song list collections. Users who use Netease Cloud Music should know that the quality of the song list of Netease Cloud Music is mixed, which is almost the end of Netease Cloud Music.
If there is any shortcoming, it is that I am not satisfied with the search function of Apple Music. The search response speed is slow. Of course, when Apple Music first entered the China market, the user experience was even worse. Now the scrolling lyrics are added, which makes the response faster, but the search function still has a lot of room for improvement.
With the rapid development of the Internet, healthy music clients with mature business models came into being. In fact, there was no music client in the early days of Internet development. Let's just call these music softwares. The development of domestic music software has gone through four stages.
The first stage: the era of PC music player represented by Qian Qian Jingting, the era of pure player without good network link and business model; The second stage: the era of PC music client based on cool dog music and cool music. At this time, the music client can connect to the network, but there is no mature business model; The third stage: After the birth of iPhone and Android, it entered the era of mobile Internet and quickly gained more than 500 million users every day. There is no business model at this time; The fourth stage: the mobile Internet is gradually maturing, and Netease Cloud Music has become the first music client in the music vertical industry with the mode of "recommendation engine+music community". During this period, Tencent acquired Cool Dog, Cool Me, Cool Dog Music and Netease Cloud Music and began to try to realize live broadcast, while the QQ music paid membership model gradually matured and the music industry began to be commercialized.
Apple Music began to develop from the American market and gradually spread to the global market. Jobs promoted the iTunes project, completely changed the whole digital music industry, and really provided the possibility for music creators to realize it. Content payment has become very successful under the leadership of Jobs, which has promoted the sound development of the entire music industry chain.
The development of the whole content industry abroad is also very benign. Netflix has 65438+52 million users worldwide, and Spotify has more than100000 users worldwide. With the help of Apple Watch, iPod, iPhone, iPad, Mac and many other hardware product lines, Apple has rapidly developed Apple Music, which has more than 60 million paying users.
I never think that free content products are a good model. Once you don't have rich commercial liquidity, direct membership is the most reasonable. Apple leads the whole industry and goes directly to the content side. Now Apple is constantly exerting its strength in the entire content industry chain of film and television and music, and has the opportunity to create a new content era.
Therefore, I highly recommend Apple Music in terms of product form, content quality, business model and experience. It grasps the needs of a user who really likes music.
In the latest update, Apple Music has brought a new function called Replay, which can show Apple Music users the music they listened to the most in 20 19. It is reported that Replay can be used for web version, Mac music application and music application on iOS device. In addition to aggregating users' annual music, it also provides playlists of the past few years.
Among them, the playlist allows Apple Music subscribers to get the annual music dating back to 20 15 at the earliest. Replay playlists can be added to the Apple Music music library, which means that this list can be shared with others.
In addition, I learned that Replay will be constantly updated throughout the year and will change with the changes of users' musical tastes and interests.
Apple plans to update the replay playlist every Sunday, which will add new songs and data analysis to reflect the current listening activities of each user.
Previously, Apple Music has never given a year-end playlist of aggregated music data, and Spotify has many years of experience in this field. Now, Apple finally has a similar function, and this function may be more practical because it is constantly updated.
Apple Music subscribers can access Apple Music Replay in a webpage and add the list to an iOS or Mac device. At the same time, Replay can also be used in music applications of iOS and Mac without the help of web-based applications, but it is still in the early stage of launch, so it cannot be used on every platform.
If you are a pure music lover, then Apple Music is undoubtedly the purest music client tool. He has no advertisements, one-time subscription and no extra charge, including the newly released album. And the sound quality is the best of its kind, which allows you to experience every note purely and immersed. The longer you listen, the more you can satisfy your taste. And his support for Siri is the best. He can wake up at any time and play the theme or scene music you want.
Of course, you may speak mandarin music a little less, which is true. But it doesn't matter. Music has no distinction between language, race or nationality.
The above are my feelings after using QQ Music, Netease Cloud Music and Qian Qian Music for your reference.
I am a long-term user of apple music and have some experiences to share!
1, the music library is huge. After all, Apple has the advantage of globalization, especially the English music library is relatively complete, and the amount of Chinese old songs is also relatively complete. However, compared with other local Internet music platforms, the quantity and quality of new songs are insufficient. After all, copyright and quality should be considered. As a middle-aged listener, I am not very keen on some new songs now, and many new songs are really written! You know that.
2. The sound quality is stable. In the iPod era, Apple began to promote streaming media. Based on the traditional advantages of A in the field of paid music, a high-quality content algorithm is formed, which ensures the balance between sound quality and information flow ability.
3, the page is beautiful because there is no advertisement implantation, apple music's page maintains a simple and clear page style, and the playlist function is also very good. Some of my listening habits are inherited from itunes to today. Close to the original album cover looks pleasing to the eye, which makes my former record controller still retain some feelings of the record era. In the early years, many lossless formats had no cover. I import hundreds of CDs into iTunes and take the time to import the covers myself. These CDs have been in my computer for more than ten years.
4, when you have iPhone, ipad, mac, homepod, Airpods, watch and other devices, you have to mention the ecology. The value of music as a cloud database is fully demonstrated. With icould, everything is seamlessly connected, especially after getting used to homepod's monitoring communication. Music really has the feeling of leaving the machine and flying to the clouds.
Is Apple Music really good? Have you ever used Apple Music? What's the difference between it and cool dog, Netease cloud and QQ music?
I know some people are very picky about music. With the continuous development of domestic music software, we seem to find that Apple Music performs better, and even some of its features become clearer. Why? We can analyze one or two.
First: Apple music looks more comfortable.
I use many Chinese music apps, such as Netease Cloud or QQ Music, but the appearance of these apps doesn't like me. There is a simple reason. There are advertisements in it, which directly affect my enthusiasm for using it.
Second: recommended by professional editors of apple music.
We know that a good software must have outstanding editing or rich recommendation ability. Moreover, their song list or classification is very suitable for our needs, and can be classified professionally, simple and clear.
Third, it is suitable for listening to British and American music.
Because of the characteristics of Apple music, there are many British and American music. It can make our users better feel the type of music, and its classification is complete, without some cover songs of miscellaneous brands.
Fourth: price
Although it's not free, on the one hand, if you haven't used Apple's music, you can use it for three months for free. On the other hand, the overall price is not expensive, especially the family choice scheme, college students' choice scheme and so on.
In fact, how to choose music software? I think it's our own different requirements for music. For Apple users, consider Apple music. For Android users, the music software you can consider may or may not be free!
I've been using it, but I've never used it online. I copied it myself, so it will always be mine, with or without members!
Tell me how I feel. Netease Cloud, qq Music, Cool Dog and applemusic are all in use. Generally speaking, Tencent Music controls three apps: Cool Dog, Cool Me and qq Music, while Netease Cloud Music is on the decline, so from the perspective of resources, Tencent Music has definitely occupied a large market in China. Everyone knows the benefits of applemusic. The sound quality is good, there are no advertisements, and members are relatively cheap. I mainly talk about the shortcomings I feel. First, although members are cheap, they only provide streaming media services and cannot download audio files. Once the membership expires, you can only become a stranger. Second, the search speed is really slow. You have been waiting for a long time, but he is still looking for it. When he got there, he was not in the mood to listen. I don't know if the server is not in China, so I don't know and dare not ask. Third, many domestic songs can't be searched in applemusic, especially the popular ones. Maybe Apple's update speed is a little slow, or some live music can't meet Apple's shelf requirements.
Based on the above three reasons, I still chose qq music with poor sound quality but many songs.
In addition, judging from the auditory effect of sound, I personally feel that applemusic has a better auditory effect, followed by Netease Cloud Music and QQ Music.
Personal opinion, don't spray if you don't like it.
Just like other Apple products, you can't go back after using them. The sound quality is really good, worth 10 yuan.
Very good, 10 yuan has an unbeatable price/performance ratio, and there is no in-house purchase, but there are few online celebrity songs in China.
I've been using it all the time, and it's not expensive for a month 10 yuan, but it depends on my personal preference for listening to music. Listening to English songs is good, but listening to pop music in Chinese mainland is not recommended. One more thing, Apple's sound quality is really good.
