Let me get this out of the way: I don’t love Apple Music.

But I didn’t love the original iPod, either. I didn’t consider buying Steve Jobs’ little white phenomenon when it was first released. No need, I already had a perfectly functional Rio MP3 player.

Of course, we all know how that song ended. Rio didn’t live to see ’N Sync break up, while the iPod upended the music industry.

Apple’s brand new streaming music service is a lot like the first iPod. If you’ve already used Spotify, Rdio or the handful of other streaming music services, there’s nothing remarkably new or different about Apple’s. In some respects, it isn’t as good as them.

But it still stands to change how the world listens to music.
