Apple Music for Artists Reviews

I don’t dislike Apple Music as a platform, I think it’s easy to use and it’s a reliable source of streaming. The problem of AppleMusic lies in the problems i’ve had with getting support. First off, when i uploaded more music after a few months it created an entirely new artist page, leaving me with one artist page with my EP, and one with 2 singles. I asked them to merge this which took about 2 weeks (mind you it says 5 business days max). Now, you’d think this is where the problem ends but no. Now instead of having access to one page and not the other, i didn’t have access to my artist account at all. i’ve reached out to them and still have yet to get a response. it’s been another 2 weeks. Finally, when i did ever have access to the artist page, it was very stingy about a picture of my full band, square cropped, and fitting into the frame, so i could never even customize my own page. I think it has great potential to be more user friendly but i don’t expect the change any time soon, it was easier when it was just a website.

It works well. I love Apple Music. But a couple problems, first of all I would like to be able to add the description and birthdate. Second it would be better if you could further see the listeners and etc. Also after about a month it froze so I signed out. But I couldn’t get back in because it showed my email but I couldn’t enter the password. I deleted AppleMusic and downloaded it again and it was still frozen please fix the problem.

AppleMusic is very simple & minimalistic, just as we might expect. LOVE the fact I can see Shazam’s of my songs. Don’t see anything in the way of playlists though, and i know i’m on playlists, which is a pretty big part of being an artist nowadays - especially independent. But this is Day 1, looking forward to having this as an app and future updates - Dré Tamashī ♥ૐ

In order for AppleMusic to be agreeable amongst artists and streaming companies there has to be transparency between the two. It is awesome that artists can see how many listeners and online streams we’ve received but it is much more important for artists to see how many sells we’ve received in any time period in real time. This will especially help artists that are paying money for marketing purposes. In other words, show the sells report in real time so the artists and or record labels know if their marketing dollars are working properly.

I don’t care to have credit for this suggestion. But a really good idea for Apple music would be to have a comment section below each song, like audiomack. It would definitely make the social media aspect of music become more popular, and make younger or lesser known artists become more popular.

I love the idea of getting your numbers right away. I wish there were more information or even being able to click on milestones to read it fully. Also dove deeper into the numbers like radio plays by location. The desktop version is a lot more intuitive. Uploading music videos and descriptions should be implemented. Being able to promote or offer promotions for your page or music would be Amazing.

The UI is the only problem. The font for your stats is Helvetica, not SF UI sans. And the UI is a bit clunky, feels a little rushed. But other than this, AMFA keeps me up to date on everything I need to know about my stats! By the way: my artist name is Soundwaiv if you want to listen!

I’ve been using the website from my home screen for months now and while it gets the job done, it was not efficient when you quickly wanted to access (and compare) metrics. Thanks Apple for giving us the tool we so desperately needed as an app. Looking forward to growing more on the platform 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

I love finally having AppleMusic and seeing my stats on the phone. Saying this I really wish there was one day stats everyday to see how many views you get everyday. Also a real time preview of your new song like would be nice

I’ve had my music on Apple Music and glad that there is an option to take control of my Artist Page! A cool and amazing feature I would love to see on here is the ability to maybe do a live stream from your artist page via the Apple Music Artist app!

Really useful app I cannot stress enough I am happy about having this as an independent artist. The addition of Shazam is vital and also very useful - thank you.

Please allow us to add tour/show dates and that’ll be great! Besides that, can’t really think of anything else.

Catch me on Apple Music 😎: Olumide

I had to apply twice for my own band. Finally they granted me access and I was able to upload band images and check my statistics.

I’m happy enough that people actually play my content that is on iTunes/Apple Music.

Honestly there is so much that this service is lacking. More easily accessible marketing materials that are generated through Apple, More analytics, Access to Bio, Access to put an animated Cover or Profile video I could go on. Good app Apple should really have a dedicated team for AppleMusic cuz honestly independent artist like me are left in the shadows

I can finally see all of my stats. AppleMusic is beautiful and informative. As usual, you sometimes move slowly, but when you finally deliver it’s 🔥! Well worth the wait. My only request is that you add tools to reach and increase my fan base.

I’m thankful for AppleMusic it help me get closer thankful the intellectual individuals who came together to make it possible for everyone to voice themselves. In addition, be able to understand a overview of what’s taking place!

Need to use AppleMusic to claim an artist account because the web system is broken or otherwise non-functional.

Now I’m stuck before even being able to log in. Sign in fine, verify email fine, once I enter my credit card CVV for verification, app gets stuck. If I enter incorrect CVV, it says it’s incorrect. If I enter it correct, it shows a spinner for a while and then stops, not progressing further.

Pure Apple garbage!

To dearest Apple,
Why do you keeping forcing us to purchase Apple
Music?? If you can’t provide a service with the purchase of iPhone do not keep pestering us with something for additional money!
If i want to create an automation then you give an option to play audio on Apple TV but you say I need Apple Music subscription... doesn’t make any sense!!!! I used to love but this forcing something on users just bug hate it!

Main issue for me is the graphs presenting data in AppleMusic are not labeled at all. It’s just a series of bars with no context other than the height of the ones beside it.

The listener data is better, though still scarce. Good for an overview, but I still have to use the desktop site to dig into data.

I am very glad that Apple released AppleMusic. It is far more convenient than visiting the website. The only issue that ruins AppleMusic for me is the fact that if I set the system text size to its smallest setting it cuts off the last word of each “insight.” Fixing that would make AppleMusic far more useful.

When it brings me to a screen labeled “Apple Music for Artists” and below “Apple ID”, “Password”, “create new account” etc, it won’t let me enter in my details. Tapping the screen doesn’t bring up a keyboard for me to do so or anything

Thank you Apple for making an app, going to the browser got old. However it would be awesome if a few more features could be added, like bios, a tab for tour dates etc.

AppleMusic is very good, it allows you to check all your most important statistics. I have been trying the beta and now that AppleMusic is released to the public I am very happy.

Thank you for making an app for this, but in the data on AppleMusic it doesn’t show radio spins, whereas the web version does. Add this please!

The days of having to sign in on the browser and verify every time I log in is over with! App is perfect! Check me out on Apple Music btw, Chandler Cutthroat🔥

Really appreciate AppleMusic additionally thou the stats needs to be updated more often in AppleMusic itself

Every time I reboot AppleMusic I tap on the button that says “Apple ID” so that I can sign into my artist account but nothing happens. I’ve restarted my phone and deleted and reinstalled AppleMusic but nothing seems to work, just the same problem again.

If anyone could help that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
