AMI Music Reviews

by SunnySideUp_22125

2 major issues with AMIMusic. Missing songs from some of my fav artists. Ex no “Truth Hurts” by Lizzo and neither of Megan Thee Stallion’s mix tapes all of which is available on a competing app.

The other issue is that AMIMusic doesn’t display complete song info. I learned this the hard way when I played a song and it was an awful remix. Then for another song I saw 2 album options appear but there was no label indicating which was the clean or which was the explicit version. Again I rolled the dice and ended up playing the wrong version. At minimum the song info should be complete and include the whole title, song time - because sometimes the album version is significantly longer than the radio edit.

My local bar switched from a different vendor to this one and I hate it. I’m not buying anymore credits because I’m so irritated by initial experience. Users beware!

In a bar with a Max of 15 people. Played 8 songs directly on the jukebox after nobody was at it for over half an hour... after checking AMIMusic , none of my songs were the current or in he next 5..... no way this group is requesting what is being played that much longer over my paid songs. Waste of money!!!

Update:
Again, in a bar with maybe 15 people, I paid $5 and got 15 credits, played 7 songs at 2 credits each followed by a 1-credit song to fill the remaining space... when my selections finally started showing on the playlist, it showed 2 of my songs that cost 2 credits, followed by the 1 credit song.

Update2: just after posting that review, my 1st actually played, however the queue immediately shows 2 other songs before my next song... something is not right with the order/sequence of songs for AMI and I would not recommend using this service, I know I am done with it after this experience.

Since March I have repeatedly tried to redownload AMIMusic and login (through Facebook) and every time AMIMusic says it is experiencing issues and nothing happens. I’ve tried creating a new account and same thing. Both my favorite local bars use AMI and it’s been so frustrating to not be able to work the music from my phone. Tried to look for help in app support but didn’t find anything related to these login issues.

You guys have literally robbed me of a good night, not only did I spend money on the tangible machine, but I paused AMIMusic and applied the play next button (with priority) to play my song up next.

This is a crime and honestly I would never complain about 6 dollars, but to offer a service worth 6 dollars and claim “priority” only to not deliver on your promise is a crime and just down right unethical. At the end of the day 6 dollars is spilled milk, but if you want to grow as a company you’d need to execute on your “priorities” and promises to further your consumer/supplier base.

At the end of the day you stole my money from me after promising me ONE PLAY.
I’m so disgusted with this service. PEOPLE, Do yourself a favor and just bring your external speaker to a club. At least you’ll get your song played WITH PRIORITY.

PS I WISH I COULD GIVE 0 STARS IM SO DISGUSTED. Never have I experienced such a lie from an app.

AMIMusic should not allow you to change music or pick music unless you are in the bar. There should be some type of check in or gps check. AMIMusic has made AMI worse and actually ruins the experience in bars given anyone can choose a song at any bar. I’ve wrote this review before and the response is you need to check in at the bar to pick music. You don’t. That is wrong. I just picked some songs at a bar I am not at or near. I have never seen the check in function ever and I use AMIMusic every weekend. Is there a fix for this? AMIMusic ruins the jukebox if there isn’t.

If I’m being honest AMIMusic has mainly rock music and country music. I love all types of music but AMIMusic should definitely be more diverse in music. It is a great idea but they need to expand their music selection. They had one 2pac song also no lil Wayne just not that great overall. Seems like it’s meant to be for one culture only. I wonder if it’s only at certain locations because AMIMusic is at a local diverse bar and it has different selection of music. Idk overall I did not like it. Bad experience.

I put in $5 and put in about 5 songs priority and 2 regular or something along those lines, which seemed great. But after an hour, not a single song had played, so I download AMIMusic . The top 5 songs weren’t a single one of mine, but that was fine. Until I saw “Thunderstruck” by AC/DC magically move from not even on the top 5 to number 1. So I downloaded AMIMusic , paid $5 again, and put in a song as “priority.” It didn’t show up even as number 5, even though at that point it would have been the second request for the same song. So it’s a scam, this is a bunch of nonsense. All they want is what they’re looking for, not at all worth your money, ever, either in AMIMusic or in person.

I was at a bar and pulled up the queue because I wanted to hear a song. It only pulled up 5 songs and I said oh sweet I can hear this before we leave. Well I check it again because I haven’t heard it in a reasonable amount of time for 5 songs and see a bunch of new songs in the queue. Then I realized there’s more than 5 songs and they basically get you to spend money without you even knowing if you will get to hear it or not. I think it’s ridiculous I can’t see everything that is in the queue. Other than that it the music selection is great and convenience is nice but that frustrates me.

Loved this for the first couple years I used it, but haven’t been able to access it for the past month! I get this response-
Sorry, our server is not responding. Please try quitting and restarting AMIMusic . If the issue persists, the AMI server may be temporarily down. Please check back shortly.
When trying to play music, trying to log in, etc. I reloaded with $20 right before this happened and I’d like either the bug to be fixed or a refund. I even deleted and reinstalled AMIMusic and same thing. I otherwise enjoyed AMIMusic!

It’s nice to see the upcoming song list, and over all it’s a solid user experience. I feel like the local caching could be better, but it’s not that bad.

BUT, the priority play used to mean your song would play next (if, as I gathered from regular use, you were the last person to play priority before the current song ended). Now, I played three songs with priority and thy didn’t even appear on the next five songs list.

I don’t mind if they changed they’re algorithm, it’s their prerogative. I just don’t feel like I can get my music on any more and that matters a lot, so I’d say don’t bother unless your sure the jukebox is open.

The newest updates for AMI make AMIMusic a little harder navigate. The background is white, which is harder on the eyes when in a dark bar. Also, when searching for an artist, AMIMusic doesn’t recognize some artist or songs spelling and then changes the words without permission, making you erase and type it all over again.

Please update app again. I use AMIMusic sooooo often because I work in a bar that uses the AMI Jukebox and it would make looking up songs so much easier.

I think at first AMIMusic worked great and was fun. Even though I knew I was paying an outrageous price to play a song, it was fun to be able to control the jukebox and play songs from my phone. However, the last few times I have used it, it clearly did not works correctly. Many songs I paid money for to play never played. I watched people go up to the juke box and put in money not playing priory and their songs played while my sings still sat in “waiting”’ mode. I waited for hours but the songs never played. There is no one to contact to get a refund. Never again will I use AMIMusic. Save your money , done use AMIMusic.

I can't tell you the number of times I've gone to play a song and found the same one playing after (good, like-minded company?), but it still drives me and everyone else at the bar crazy to hear the same song twice. I'd love to see some kind of "next-up" feature so I can see what's gonna play next and avoid playing the same song twice. It's also nice to have so we can follow the "mood" of the bar. Otherwise, no complaints here.

I use AMIMusic regularly, but am finding it frustrating lately. When I search through my playlist, which is very lengthy, I start at the top, play a few songs, hide AMIMusic and then come back in a little while to play a few more songs and I have to start my search all over at the top again. It doesn't remember where I left off in my playlist. I wish you guys could please fix that so it remembers where I left off in my playlist. Thank you!

Love AMIMusic. Works well at every venue I’ve visited. However, in recent upgrades it lost some simple functionality. During navigation it would automatically take you back to where you left, now it automatically goes back beginning. Annoying when playing multiple songs. An obvious bug that needs to be fixed.

Why do some songs suddenly disappear from library? How can songs be added?

by Smokenu619

AMIMusic operates GREAT but it doesn’t show any difference between the original version and a HORRIBLE remix of the song. It happens way too often that you pick the horrible remix instead of the original song. You eventually just remember not to take the chance playing certain songs because you can’t tell if you’re playing the horrible remix or the original song.

I have to take 2 stars away because they could make it easy on the customer paying for the song but they make it confusing on purpose. ON PURPOSE. Don’t believe any excuses they do it on PURPOSE.

So I was at a bar playing my jams and suddenly live music happened. My music selections were put on serious hold. I wish for an option that detects when a user has left the location and puts music selections on hold until that user returns. That way users could enjoy their music picks when they came back to the jukebox. That would be great 🎀

Update: AMIMusic company did reach out to me to help me resolve this issue. I do appreciate their prompt responses and research into the situation. Apparently this is not an annual charge. Still working on getting this resolved but had to update my review because I’m impressed with their customer service.

I downloaded AMIMusic about a couple years ago and haven’t re-downloaded it to my new phone. I suddenly have an “annual charge” of $5 on my card from AMI Music which is the new name for Barlink. Not cool. I’m disputing the charge and getting a new card. Pretty sure this is not legal. Be careful where you enter your credit card information and watch your accounts.

I love AMIMusic . It’s simple to use and I think the idea of seeing the next 5 songs in the queue is awesome! My one request would be to maybe see the LAST 5 songs that were played. That would help a bit with people repeating songs too close together.

by Srdavis85

I love AMIMusic. It’s easy to use and whatnot but I think it would be a great idea to be able to share or gift credits to other friends who use AMIMusic because music is what brings us together even when we are not.
