Apple Music is the latest and greatest service from Apple as the company looks to regain some of the ground it lost while streaming services took off. iTunes Radio didn’t gain any traction to speak of, and Apple knew it had to come up with something special if it hoped to compete with Spotify and Pandora. So, the company bought Beats and now Apple Music is finally here.

The new service is packed full of features — so many features that some areas can be a bit confusing. Third-party developers still have some ideas for how the service can be made even better though, and one of the latest comes from Musixmatch.
