The list is an editorial statement, fully independent of any streaming numbers on Apple Music &mdash; a love letter to the records that have shaped the world music lovers live and listen in.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pxlnv.com\/linklog\/apple-music-top-100-microsite\/\">Nick Heer<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote cite=\"https:\/\/pxlnv.com\/linklog\/apple-music-top-100-microsite\/\">\n<p>Yet there is no exciting presentation of this list in Apple Music. There is a live radio broadcast &mdash; which cannot be found by searching, say, &ldquo;100 best&rdquo; or &ldquo;top 100&rdquo; &mdash; and the albums are shown in the featured boxes on the Browse tab, but there little else that I can find. To explore the list, you need to visit <a href=\"https:\/\/100best.music.apple.com\/\">100best.music.apple.com<\/a> in a web browser, where each record gets a lovely write-up and explanation of why it is on the list. The same explanation <a href=\"https:\/\/music.apple.com\/ca\/album\/untrue\/893175779\">appears in album descriptions<\/a>. But, like the Replay feature, why is this not all within the app <em>and<\/em> on the web?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<p>Previously:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/2023\/12\/27\/apple-music-replays-broken-record\/\">Apple Music Replay&rsquo;s Broken Record<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p id=\"web-only-apple-music-features-update-2024-05-30\">Update (2024-05-30): <a href=\"https:\/\/pxlnv.com\/blog\/rank-apple\/\">Nick Heer<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote cite=\"https:\/\/pxlnv.com\/blog\/rank-apple\/\">\n<p>It is beyond my understanding why anyone seems to be under the impression this list is anything more than a business reminding you it operates a music streaming platform to which you can subscribe for eleven dollars per month.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of the app &mdash; some time after <a href=\"https:\/\/pxlnv.com\/linklog\/apple-music-top-100-microsite\/\">I complained<\/a> there was no way in Apple Music to view the list, Apple added a <a href=\"https:\/\/music.apple.com\/us\/curator\/100-best-albums-radio\/1702073195\">full section<\/a>, which I found via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.net\/@foursliced\/post\/C7SmXcbuNMO\/\">foursliced<\/a> on Threads. It is actually not bad. There are stories about each album, all the reveal episodes from the radio show, and interviews.<\/p>\n\n<p>You will note something missing, however: a way to play a given album. That is, one cannot visit this page in Apple Music, see an album on the list they are interested in, and simply tap to hear it. There are play buttons on the <a href=\"https:\/\/100best.music.apple.com\/ca\">website<\/a> and, if you are signed in with your Apple Music account, you can add them to your library. But I cannot find a way to do any of this from within the app.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple: Apple Music today announced the release of its 100 Best Albums of all time, a celebratory list of the greatest records ever made, crafted by Apple Music&rsquo;s team of experts alongside a select group of artists, including Maren Morris, Pharrell Williams, J Balvin, Charli XCX, Mark Hoppus, Honey Dijon, and Nia Archives, as well [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"apple_news_api_created_at":"2024-05-16T19:17:58Z","apple_news_api_id":"2fd951a9-7b80-4943-9a68-367371c5d09e","apple_news_api_modified_at":"2024-05-30T19:24:47Z","apple_news_api_revision":"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA==","apple_news_api_share_url":"https:\/\/apple.news\/AL9lRqXuASUOaaDZzccXQng","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_is_hidden":false,"apple_news_is_paid":false,"apple_news_is_preview":false,"apple_news_is_sponsored":false,"apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":"\"\"","apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[1230,31,2321,30,2385,157,1816,96],"class_list":["post-43283","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-technology","tag-apple-music","tag-ios","tag-ios-17","tag-mac","tag-macos-14-sonoma","tag-music","tag-music-app","tag-web"],"apple_news_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43283","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=43283"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43283\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":43447,"href":"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43283\/revisions\/43447"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=43283"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=43283"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=43283"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
