RIP Apple.

 

[Mononoke]

Anyone else's stream just Die?

Yeah.

http://www.apple.com/confirm/itunes/thankyou.html

They finally added 12.2 for Windows users. Was wondering if it was related to that?

 

[TheAbsolution]

Yup seeing everyone here on Twitter and here say it's down.
Damn. Was listening to it all day.

 

[iMax]

They weren't kidding.

 

[Thezez]

Dead in New Zealand

 

[GG-Duo]

Jaden Smith killed Beats 1.

 

[giga]

Way to overload the stream guys.

 

[Kaladin]

Yeah.

The entire PC master race flooded the servers and crashed Beats 1.

 

[helloresolven]

Who would have expected Beats1 to be too popular earlier this morning?

 

[IcyStorm]

Yeah.

I'm still not seeing 12.2 on Windows?

EDIT: Never mind. Cleared my cache and there it goes.

Should have let Gilfoyle build the data center

 

[TheAbsolution]

I am so happy you created this thread. I love how much community/ can emerge from Live Radio. I used to work at my Uni's radio station, and it was actually a really big radio station for an entire city.

So it's pretty amazing Apple created a live, human curated channel, and it's something we can all listen to together.

Yeah, Radio still has a place in the world and Apple just showed this.
The curation and the chance to do off the cuff things like playing the Buffy theme song is very good IMO.

Now if the stream would come back up.

 

[mightynine]

Who forgot to change the tape at Beats 1 master control?

 

[Mononoke]

It went down the exact moment Apple posted the new iTunes update on their site.

EDIT:

Beats 1 is still down even after iTunes updated.

 

[The Citizen Kane of Games]

I can see the Apple marketing already: So popular it crashed our servers!

 

[iMax]

Should have let Gilfoyle build the data center

yeah dinesh fucked it up again

 

[giga]

I can see the Apple marketing already: So popular it crashed our servers!

More like Jaden: I'm so hot I crashed Apple's servers!

 

[SegaShack]

I really want to hear Elton John when he hosts, he's one of my favorites.

 

[Mononoke]

Beats 1, I need you!

Actually, going to go watch a movie now. But I really wanted to try this out through iTunes on my surround sound. Noooo.

Toll free numbers to call in requests....when Beats 1 comes back. Saved the Canada one in my contacts

 

[BanGy.nz]

It's back up.

 

[ecurbj]

It's back up.

Cool. Thanks. I was starting to miss it for some reason..

 

[TheAbsolution]

Back up.

 

[Mononoke]

Back up.

Nice. Going to stop listening to 65Daysofstatic and get back on this. Thanks for the heads up!

Who would have expected Beats1 to be too popular earlier this morning?

Didn't even know it was coming out today. It's insane how it's become like my favorite thing ever. I could easily see myself using my headphones, and laying in bed at night listening to this.

 

[serenewarfare]

Are they aware they were down? Odd not to hear the DJ mention it.

 

[Hip Hop]

Has Ebro gone up yet as host?

Now to finally download the PC update.

 

[TheAbsolution]

Are they aware they were down? Odd not to hear the DJ mention it.

If it were several hours of downtime or repeated periods of downtime, It'd make sense to mention it. As it is right now, It really doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things.

Has Ebro gone up yet as host?

Now to finally download the PC update.

He was up 3 hours ago. It will repeat 12 hours from now I think.
You can also view the playlist from the show.

 

[ecurbj]

Blase, blase, blase, blase..

I love this. Apple did it again!

 

[TheAbsolution]

I just found out that the outage has to do with Amazon Web Services being out on the east coast. Reddit and other sites were down for a bit too.

 

[ducksauce]

I've listened most of the day and so far this request line show is the weakest thing I've heard. The DJs seem to have great taste, the general public not so much.

 

[SmackCrackleNPop]

lol Jaden is pretty damn entertaining. Have to give him props.

EDIT:

I liked this song earlier. No idea who Royal Blood is.

Royal Blood is awesome!

Check out their album, it's pretty good all the way through...

 

[infiniteloop]

FREEDOM AGAIN wowowowo

 

[Kurdel]

Looking forward to St. Vincent!

 

[TheAbsolution]

FREEDOM AGAIN wowowowo

Promoted song is promoted.

 

[serenewarfare]

I like this Pharrell song, but damn they've played it a decent bit today.

 

[infiniteloop]

I need freedom from this song

*chuckle*

 

[ecurbj]

It pretty much was to a promotional song for Apple Music. I don't even have a problem with it. Because its catchy..

 

[Kaladin]

I like this Pharrell song, but damn they've played it a decent bit today.

I fear that's going to be an issue with this station.

"Hey Apple I'll give you an exclusive on my new song if you play it one million times in a month period."

 

[serenewarfare]

I fear that's going to be an issue with this station.

"Hey Apple I'll give you an exclusive on my new song if you play it one million times in a month period."

I mean I don't have a huge fear with it. In the grand scheme, they've only played it probably eight times today at most. It's more than any other song, but not overbearing.

 

[Mononoke]

I like this Pharrell song, but damn they've played it a decent bit today.

Yeah, they said this will be something they do each day. That they will have a "record" of the day, and play it multiple times throughout the day. Pretty much advertising/marketing.

It's annoying. But I guess no worse than Radio stations that are 100% marketing/advertising. At least the other content feels genuine/curated.

Royal Blood is awesome!

Check out their album, it's pretty good all the way through...

Will def do this now!

 

[serenewarfare]

The concept of St. Vincent's show sounds awesome. Can't wait to hear it. Apple really seems to have come up with some good ideas for this station.

 

[JrBaconCheeseburger]

Man this fits pretty well with this music.

 

[Mononoke]

The concept of St. Vincent's show sounds awesome. Can't wait to hear it. Apple really seems to have come up with some good ideas for this station.

Yeah, that is what actually has me even more excited for all of this. Just the idea that, it can actually improve. That there is content/shows already planned ahead, and we are only seeing this from the beginning. I can actually get better!

 

[TheAbsolution]

Playing some Muse. Me likey.

 

[Freestyler]

How come I can't add this Muse track to My Music?

 

[-GW-]

Apple's site seems to list the newest Windows 64-bit version of iTunes as 12.12. It lists 12.2 for 32-bit though. Are we just waiting for 64-bit? Is there a workaround?

 

[serenewarfare]

From Muse to Gambino. Nice.

How come I can't add this Muse track to My Music?

Just a bug. Some radio tracks won't add from the radio screen. You have to search for them.

 

[TheAbsolution]

This Weeknd track has to be the most played today after the Pharell track.

Not that I'm complaining because it's good.

 

[MercuryLS]

I've added so much new music to my library thanks to Beats 1. I love Apple Music.

 

[Treythalomew]

I'm feeling this radio thing so hard. Streaming has opened my listening to so many different artists but at the same time I haven't really listened to a lot of different genres. I've heard a bunch of stuff today that I would have just skipped if I stumbled upon but have liked so much.
