Singers like Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter, or rock icons like Linkin Park and Breaking, keep creating catchy songs that quickly become crowd favorites. With so many releases and concerts happening at the same time, it can sometimes be difficult to find the ones you really want, but now you can with Apple Music.
Apple Music: Playlists for concerts
Apple Music has added a new feature designed to help you find the concert you want among the concerts available. This feature allows artists to create playlists based on the songs they are performing on their current tours.
With this, if two of your favorite singers happen to be playing in your city on the same night, you can access the playlists for each show and see what songs they are singing. If one of them is playing your favorite songs from an old album, the decision could become much clearer.
In addition, it is compatible with Bandsintown, a website widely used to track concert dates. By linking the two accounts, users will be able to automatically sync the dates of upcoming concerts in their area, allowing them to see almost all available shows from bands subscribed to this feature more clearly.
Downside for some users
Of course, some might perceive the new feature as a “sneak peek.” Imagine going to a Fall Out Boy concert, but you already know exactly what songs they’ll be playing.
Part of the magic of live concerts is the uncertainty, not knowing if they’ll play that special song from years ago or if they’ll remake one of their classics. Knowing every song in advance might take away from the excitement, since anticipation and surprise are, for many, the best part of a concert.
Still, this feature is perfect for those on a tight budget or who can’t attend every concert. If you have to choose between several concerts, this feature will allow you to make the best decision by prioritizing the songs you like the most.
Other recent features
Apple Music Replay, which lets users relive their most-played songs of the year, plus new cover art templates. Apple has also added crossfading between songs, improving the fluidity of playlists and making transitions between tracks smoother and more immersive.
With each update, Apple Music continues to refine its service, attracting even some of Spotify‘s most loyal users.
