How Apple Music Connect frustrates artists and listenersWhile Apple may have had higher aspirations for Connect, its social network that launched with Apple Music, what exists eight months after its launch seems to be frustrating for both artists and Apple Music subscribers. In a post over at Better Elevation, Airplane Mode's Dave Wiskus outlines the failures of Connect, including issues with embedding tracks, engaging with fans, and even something as seemingly simple as changing your band's avatar.
