I like Shazam. I hope Apple doesn't break it.


As long as you have an iPhone I'm sure it will work just fine (via siri) ;)


I wonder if they'll drop Android support.


There's an Apple Music for Android...


Did you ever try it? This app works so terribly on Android (really, one of the worst apps I've ever used) that I just assume Apple makes it bad on purpose to somehow make naive people believe Android is somehow worse.


Glad to hear the product manager for iTunes for Windows is still employed by Apple...


I just thought about quite an ironic situation. A new-hire at Apple starts their first day in a software dev position for desktop applications. They're very excited to be creating consumer Apple products. The new-hire is introduced to their team.

New-hire: What are we working on?

Supervisor: iTunes for Windows.


Implying iTunes for Windows is still being worked on. That's a good one.


It’s a sad thing when the product being dead would be the upgrade you hope for. I’m referring to the Mac version though.


I mean it can’t work worse than Google Apps do on iOS (so bad that the web versions are usually better... until they cripple those and funnel you to the apps, like they do for Sheets).


...making the transition to iOS that much easier.


Sounds like you can criticize them if they don't support Android and criticize them if they do support Android.


that has an implicit assumption that apple music on android is a nice app. spoiler: it isn't. it hardly works. it will often sputter and think and try to play a song, as if there is a bad internet connection, EVEN when i have the song downloaded locally. and apple often tweaks the UI where it is musical chairs with common actions.


I hope the leaders of Apple are smarter than that. Shazam is a great marketing channel.
