The United Kingdom's hip-hop DJ Charlie Sloth confirmed yesterday that he recently joined Apple Music and Beats 1 radio after being forced out of BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra in November.
Although Apple's HomePod page states that AirPlay 2 lets you “ask Siri to play jazz in the living room and the Moana soundtrack in the kids’ room,” it doesn't make it clear that multi-device streaming requires a family account. Apple says a now-fixed bug permitted individual subscribers to listen to different music on their HomePod and iPhone.
If you use Apple’s Music app to enjoy music on your iOS handset, then you’re likely familiar with how the app’s Now Playing interface doesn’t fill the entire display. Instead, it shows what some might describe as a Now Playing ‘card’ over the top of another interface.
If you fancy more of a full-screen experience while listening to music, then you might take a liking to a new jailbreak tweak called FullMusic11 by iOS developer Soh Satoh. Just as the name implies, this tweak does away with the so-called ‘card overlay’ effect and gives the Music app’s Now Playing interface a full-screen makeover to make it more consistent with other apps in iOS.
Apple Music has named Ebro Darden, one of the Beats 1 radio hosts, its global editorial head of hip-hop and R&B as he took on a broader role at the iPhone maker's music-streaming service.
Apple designed iOS’ Now Playing interface to display relevant information about the music you listen to at any given time, such as the album artwork, artist name, and song title, but it also provides you with useful music controls in a pinch.

Apple's Music app lacks advanced stats regarding your personal Apple Music listening history, but a free new iPhone app released earlier in December fills that void.
