Apple has continued to enhance the listening experience for iOS 17 subscribers with a new feature called Collaborative Playlists. This feature allows users to partner with family and friends to create and edit playlists together, as well as add emoji reactions to specific songs. Although Collaborative Playlists were initially tested in early iOS 17.2 betas, they were eventually removed due to unresolved bugs. However, the feature has been reintroduced in the latest update, promising a seamless and bug-free experience for users.
In addition to Collaborative Playlists, Apple has introduced other new features such as SharePlay, which extends collaborative music sessions to the car, and the Apple Music Sing experience that enables users to see themselves onscreen and apply camera filters while singing along to their favorite songs. Users can also mark favorite albums, playlists, and artists, automatically adding them to their library for improved recommendations.
Furthermore, the update includes features like Suggested Songs for easy music discovery, Now Playing for an immersive album art experience, and Song Credits for comprehensive data about the artists behind tracks. The update also allows users to crossfade between songs and add Apple Music widgets to the Home Screen for quick access to personalized top picks and recommended content.
In related news, Apple Music has confirmed a royalty rate increase of up to 10% for Spatial-available content. This move is intended to reward higher quality content and ensure that artists are compensated for the time and investment they put into mixing in Spatial.
Overall, the latest iOS 17 update offers a range of new features and improvements aimed at enhancing the overall music listening experience for Apple Music subscribers. These updates provide more opportunities for users to connect with friends and family through music, discover new songs, and enjoy an immersive and interactive music experience.
