Apple Music is officially down for some users and the fruit giant has just confirmed the issues are real.

People have reported having troubles with Apple Music where the service was not fully available to stream as needed.

Apple, on its System Status website, has said that the issues began today at 2.26pm ET, 11.26am PT and refers to the problem simply as “outages”.

The company says that “some user are affected” and that they might be experiencing “intermittent issues” with Apple Music.

Since this is a problem that appears to be affecting the streaming service, if you have offline music it should still be accessible on your device. If that is not the case, then your issue may be localized on your device rather than just being the result of this outage.

While this happened, and was officially announced around the 2pm mark, according to Downdetector, there was a rise in the number of users affected after that time, closer to 7pm.

This appears to not be a problem for everyone, so if you are struggling and can’t find much else to confirm your issues, know that you’re not alone.

Since this is on the radar for Apple expect the issue to be fixed sooner rather than later.

Netflix's password-sharing crackdown isn't over just yet. The streaming giant is now rolling out another change that could make shared household accounts a little more cumbersome, this time by asking every profile on an account to have its own email address. While the move isn't designed to stop families from sharing a subscription, it does add another layer of identity verification that many users probably weren't asking for.

You've seen TikTok or Instagram reels of sped-up or slowed-down songs, and new mixes of popular titles that end up getting millions of views. But despite that virality, the original artist never ends up getting paid. Deezer is trying to change things with its new Remix Lab. It's a new in-app feature that lets fans remix songs with the explicit consent of artists and rights holders. The feature is launching first in France through Deezer Club, with the company saying it could expand to other countries in the coming months.
