It would also attract subscribers when more and more celebrities and taste-making DJ's begin to share playlists, cementing Apple Music's spot at the front of the race for music streaming services.

This is how it would work

The user would switch on advanced playlist options:

Tapping the gray space between songs would allow users to adjust the gap between songs. Or, users could select 'crossfade' to seamlessly transition between songs.

Options for tracks would open when tapping the song title.

Record Mode

Following song menus would include crossfade options:

The result: a playlist that flows perfectly, according to the curator's personality.

A dance mix that keeps the party alive with no gaps. A rap mix without the unnecessary skits. A classical suite with abundant space between each piece to cleanse the listener's pallet. An experimental sound collage featuring rapid snippets of audio, resulting in a completely original piece of art altogether. The options are endless.

Timing is everything in music. Unlocking time for Apple Music's subscribers would be revolutionary. These simple added features would breath new life into playlists. The creativity enabled would take the art of the music compilation out of the box, allowing everybody from celebrities to high school lovers to craft their masterpiece.

And once the masterpiece is crafted, it can be shared on Apple Music's budding social platform!
