Singer Taylor Swift calls out Apple Music

[TheKey]

Thank you for that.

So... Would you say there needs to be a main menu (less possible ways)

Then a "advanced" menu, if you will...

I am big in user friendly intuitive. Easy abc 123 navigation.

I think they should have created a stand-alone app for the streaming service. I get why they combined it with iTunes, to try to salvage their sales in that area, but it just jumbled it up. A stand alone app wouldn't need to be so complicated. Sadly, it looks like the differentiating feature of Spotify, Apple Music and others will be exclusive content. No one wins in that scenario.

Ya I had to google her to find out she actually does write her own songs which is a rarity in todays pop music world. Paul McCartney had better step aside...........

debbie gibson did this in the 80s. one of the few stars at the time to do that. tiffany, not sure about.

what strikes me as odd is apple in the 20 years i've been in the IT industry has NEVER IN THEIR LIFE moved so fast.

one day taylor is yelling at apple
next day, apple gives in.

something tells me they helped each other on this one.

Ahh forgot about Debbie Gibson...
Now that is an oreo id love to be in the middle of, Swift and Debbie G.

Madonna wrote her songs too in the day. (never a fan though)

 

[JohnnyTheFox]

And Justin Bieber co-wrote that wonderful gem baby, baby, baby repeat ad infinitum.....doesn't mean jack squat to me. There are hundreds of talentless hacks running around these days disguised as someone who has some discernible musical talent.

Considering Tiffany's most famous (only?) song is a remark of a song that came out in the 60's, I'm thinking she didn't write it.

well since i didn't say she wrote ALL her songs. yes, her big "hit" was a remake and in looking, could've been was written by someone else, so hey, wrong on this one for tiff. oops.

in any event, looks like taylor swift's call out for hypocracy has been met and sent back to her own court.

“Most music photographers will not sign contracts that steal the copyright to their images,” Reed told the Daily Dot. “[Sheldon’s] blog post is not about the resale of images, it's about the fact that Taylor doesn't agree with Apple not paying her for the use of her music and her doing the same to photographers. The photographers are hired by outside publications. They are NOT hired by Taylor Swift or her management and PR. If they are, they are her touring photographers.

“This is about how people—hired by someone else—are being forced (if they sign the contract) to release all images worldwide and forever over to her company, management, and label so that they may use those images for free for her publicity when she didn't hire them or PAY THEM for it—which is her exact gripe with Apple.”

at this point i'm so very glad i simply can't name too many of her songs.

She does have to create a new way to remain relevant

And I wish those ways would dry up and she'd just go away.

He's a terrible singer and all the other stuff around her, like this and the stupid dating junk, is boring and beyond stupid.

It makes up a high percentage of songs throught history.

Fleetwood Mac - break ups, sleeping together, go your own way

50s-60s - tears on my pillow, runaround sue, this is dedicated to the one I love, etc


It's actually a smart, proven method

And?

I'm not sure why this is supposed to make me give her anymore credit for her garbage work.

Even if you are "not sure"

She still gets "credit"... Obviously....

I suppose if you'd like to give her credit. That's cool.

I do not give people credit for a piss poor job just because they went with a tried and true way of going about their career. When you suck at it, tried and true or not, you still suck at it.

She's awful. And I'll be glad when she's gone and forgotten.

Madonna is definitely not my type of music, but there is absolutely no denying her talent.

I'm not even a fan really. Not my kind of music.
I'm not really even defending her.

Im just recognizing what is clear as day.
You just don't like her. It's cool. Lots of people don't like people. Give them zero credit.

No biggie lol

That's true. Good points.

When you're loved by many and worth 200 mil I guess you can do this kind of thing these days.

When Lars was against giving his music away for free it seemed most were against him on the issue. He was really just ahead of his time.
