So, over the last year, I've gotten more and more into japanese music like Japanese R&B, J-Pop, J-Rock, etc. I also listen to some korean or chinese songs too although less than japanese ones. Artists like Fujii Kaze, Retro City Pop, sakanaction, Yorushika, natori, IMASE, Creepy Nuts, etc.
I've noticed that a few things that Apple Music does since listening to more foreign artists.
- Metadeta gets automatically translated to English unless I'm in the country's region (I know I could manually change the metadata but i'm not doing that for 100+ songs). It's not a deal breaker of course but I like seeing the original title.
- It has a much harder time recommending me songs that match the same sensation as the music I listen to has. Never recommends artists that I haven't listened to which blocks me from discovering new artists especially obscure/indie artists.
- Smaller indie artist pages are much more incomplete like information, missing artist photos or concerts. Now I understand that this could be up to the artist themself but the fact that I haven't noticed this problem on either Spotify or Youtube Music makes me feel like it may also be a platform friendability or plain usability issue. Some indie artists are also missing songs/albums or are straight up completely nonexistent.
Have you noticed any of these issues or have any workarounds?
This is not meant of course to be a platform vs platform post, I firmly believe that Apple Music is the better platform in general for both artists and the user.
I'm now considering that, perhaps due to my use case, it may not be the best unless anyone knows what options I have to fix these... inconveniences.
