Now that the dust has settled after Apple Music’s start last week, people are beginning to notice the great (and the not so great) things about the service.
Apple’s Beats 1 worldwide radio station was a great move on the company's part.

Some other factors that give Apple a leg up on the competition are its incredible music recommendation service and the combination of Apple Music with users' old iTunes libraries.
