Who listens to music anymore?

Wow, so the songs are on high repeat? Can you give a rough average of the song count before it loops? I think once they focused on the younger market and begged to be cool the downward slope has been exponential (did it start with the iPhone 5C? Other than Jobs's death of course).

She would appropriate, of course

I mostly listen to it at work and I’m not laser focused on a repeat count, but I know from the frequent “I like/don’t like” this track thoughts I have from recognition. Sometimes I’ll glance over and “Oh, I already bought this track earlier this week”. Occasionally they’ll be clever and toss in a DnB track but that will never be a track on heavy repeat. And even though it falls under the streaming services umbrella, because it’s live radio I can’t skip the songs I don’t like.

I switched back to listening to the local old school funk station, predictable hits but I still feel like its offering more variety than Beats 1…or more songs I actually like.

Do you really support her treblephobic attitude? Do you really think high frequencies should drink out of separate water fountains?

Shouldn't you be at a tweeter burning somewhere?

Search James Brown in iTunes/Music. Right click and Create Station. Done.

After being bored with Beats 1 and before I switched to terrestrial radio, I tried creating stations off my iTunes library and that feature wasn’t working either. Makes me want to walk up to Tim Cook, smack the Apple Watch off his wrist, heel smash it, and point at him while going “Focus on the right shit, fucker.”

That sounds cool. There's bound to be that one stellar Indian JB knock off that's probably got a few movies and harems here and there...

The dancing. Apple's probably started publicly testing their machine learning algorithms so it mines youtube and sees JB dancing and links it to Bollywood.
I'm not serious.

That's where the real profits are. If something you bought actually solved your problem, you wouldn't need to spend more money on them.
A successful business is basically an entity that sells you mistakes and makes you dependent on them.

The saying is 'There's no money in the cure'.
Unless you're in The Cure.

Roberta?

New iPhone is said to be in production. This is unprecedented in Apple’s history once you look past 2014. Or 2013. Or 2012. Or 2011. Or 2010. Or 2009. Or 2008. Prior to 2007 there’s nothing that would make you think Apple would be producing the next iPhone already in the year.

You’re welcome for the hot tip. You can start getting excited now.
