Dave Wiskus eviscerates Apple Music Connect:
Opening up the Connect tab of iTunes makes me sad. I see two or three weeks-old posts from Weezer and Panic! at the Disco, and not much else. I understand that the posts you see are a function of who you’re following, which leads me to my next concern: I don’t know how to follow bands.
I don’t see a follow button on iTunes artist pages. Maybe this is an Apple Music thing, and I can’t get to it because I don’t subscribe. On the Connect tab I might expect to see some kind of discovery mechanism, but no. Maybe I’m missing something.
As a fan I don’t feel “connected” to anything. I feel sad.
As I’ve said before, Apple should take a look at SoundShare. It lets you collaborate on playlists, add in songs from Apple Music, and relevant to this discussion, follow other folks and listen to what they are listening to. It’s like a Swiss army knife for music.
