Annotation: “Apple’s music platform can be a really wonderful platform for many musicians. The issue is we already have Spotify and Google Play and Beats Music which provide different features that people love. Apple can try and integrate everything in one place which looks and sounds wonderful. The radio station is what I’m excited about. BeatsOne will make music a group experience again without the annoying top 40 on repeat that basic stations do.” – Angel Damion Robles
