This has to be the most unbelievable screw up I've seen with any music service anywhere.
Finally signed up for the 3 month free trial yesterday.
It took over 30 minutes of signing out of my AppleID and back in, quitting iTunes and restarting it, restarting the computer multiple times just to even get a single song to play. Don't have a clue what I did that got it to start working yesterday. Once I did, I was able to add about 24 albums to my library and download them - very quickly - we're talking 15-20 seconds max to download an album.
Once again this morning, I've been sitting here for over half an hour.
Waited patiently for it to finish the iCloud Music syncing, Signed out and back in, quit and restarted iTunes, restarted the computer and nothing.
All the startup pages load quick as lightening under each category.
Artist searches return results very fast. But,...
Not a single one of the playlists under the "For You" heading will play - they just sit there loading for minutes at a time.
Not a single song selection from anywhere will actually play.
Go into the "New" tab which is where you can find and search for the artists you want.
Find an artist and an album you want to add, click the + sign and it changes to a check mark - go check out My Music and it's not there, go back to the album still sitting there in the "New" tab and the check mark has changed back to the + sign again.
Beats 1 doesn't work either - every other radio station plays, but not Beats 1.
Everything works great except for actually playing any music.
I give up.
edit:
Ok, so I didn't give up.
Restarted the computer yet one more time.
Voila, I can now play my selections, but...
Still cannot add anything to My Library via either of the 2 options for doing so.
All of my playlists have now been duplicated - and I only have a single playlist that is not there by default.
