This is basically clickbait designed to capitalize on the new service.

With zero observation of what people want and how they experience it, he conducts a dry and pedantic assassination of the UI.

I've talked to 4 regular users today all of whom were having an enjoyable experience and expressing no concern about the UI - instead the conversation was all about what it was allowing people to discover and listen to.

The only person who had any discomfort with the service was a friend who hasn't used streaming before and was concerned about the ephemeral nature of what he listened to - I.e. Unlike with buying musing it's easy to listen to a lot of stuff and not make a connection with it to a particular place and time.

In any case unless you like pedantry, don't read this article - instead listen to some music.

Your comment would be more useful if you actually addressed the "pedantic" things. Have you even read the post?

- Can't delete multiple items or move multiple items to another list

- "three dots" AND right click shows different contextual menus

- 4 clicks to delete items from the "My music" menu.

While I don't think the article is especially balanced, these items are far from pedantic.

They are pedantic if they don't affect usability significantly, and to determine that one needs to know whether users are impacted - not whether they conform to a principle.

It is not a usability analysis, it’s an experience report.

My only quibble is the title. If he personalized it (“My Apple Music Nightmare”), I would be 100% satisfied.
