So, on the surface [an interface] looks cleaner, but in my mind Apple Music is a lot more dirty, confusing, and disorienting.

Like an attractive sociopath.

I like simple interfaces. picture two: ncmpcpp on my laptop, controlling the mpd server on the studio computer that is ultimately responsible for what comes through my beloved stereo system at all times.

the problem is this kind of simplicity is actually simple only when you learn how to work the interface. whereas the interface of Apple Music requires no prior learning. and learning is unacceptable for things that are meant for the greater audience. right?

on the other hand, driving an automobile requires a license, maybe there ought to be one for computing, too?
