Loading comments The fact that the service is provided alongside Apple Music for the same flat fee is a nice touch. The ability to watch music videos back-to-back, with no advertising or interruptions, and the ability to skip a song if you're not feeling it, is a nice addition to any living room.

Naturally, it works best on the Apple TV. Apple Music's music videos aren't intrusive, and Apple isn't trying to push the service. You can choose to ignore them entirely, and you'll probably never notice they're there. It's clear that Apple Music itself the apps, interface, and implementation across devices needs some work to accomodate music video playback and discovery. The ability to create a music video "Radio" as you can with regular songs would essentially create an "automatic" music TV station whenever you want it.

Hopefully it's one feature Apple is working on. It will never be able to compete with YouTube when it comes to much smaller grassroots artists, but that's likely not Apple's intention anyway. However, going forward, the company needs to strike a balance between new videos, exclusives, and filling in the back catalog.

I've noticed that some music videos sound noticeably worse than their audio counterparts. This is likely a combination of the original video's age and the heavy compression iTunes applies to some videos.

Newer videos don't seem to suffer from this problem. That compression can really take its toll on some videos though, with heavy compression artefacts visible. This is noticeably worse than the videos I'm used to seeing on TV.

Some videos are stuck at SD quality, as if they're ready for transferring to your old iPod. My one complaint about watching videos on the Apple TV is that Music doesn't announce the song title and artist at the start or end of a track.

Swiping down to reveal the track information only shows you the track name. And as for iTunesit's a mess. It's been a mess for over a decade, and it's a shame Apple Music is tied to the bloated media manager at all. It's just as unresponsive and quirky when dealing with music videos as it is when it comes to regular music.

A dedicated purpose-built Apple Music app could be so much better. Many of us would take a web-based version at this point. Videos you add will display in the iTunes sidebar see this article for more on organizing the sidebar. A single Videos page, with links to the top videos, genres, etc. Having the abilty to easily find and play music videos would be a strong factor in swaying me to use Apple Music.

There only seems to be a way to view Top Music Videos in the artist section. There should be a way to view all music videos. Personally, I believe that Apple is trying to be conservative with their bandwidth and selectively providing access to musics videos is a good way to do so.
