   Love (hate!) how Apple Music skips a beat in the first few seconds when streaming a track. Tell me you despise music, without telling me you despise music. Ugh.

     @aud Hell no, it’s very noticeable IMO! I can’t tell if the Lossless Audio setting is implicated here (I have that enabled in all scenarios), but also:

     1. I’m not going to spend my time diagnosing a bug in software from the richest company on Earth

     2. If they can’t offer a high quality playback experience when streaming lossless audio, maybe they shouldn’t have shipped that setting???

     @demarko Regarding the latter: I completely gave up on Music.app for local library management this year. I now use Doppler, a Walkman NW-ZX707, and a big ol‘ Micro SD card.

     It is funny as hell to me that Apple “killed” the Walkman, then actually killed the iPod, and now offers truly mediocre, slapdash music products in the aftermath.

     @jkohlmann I am not convinced anyone who truly enjoys the experience of listening to a non Taylor Swift album or keeping a music library locally still works at Apple

     @demarko @jkohlmann doesn't mean they don't work there. Personally, I don't think I would ever purchase a single product my employer makes, but I work there because it pays well.
