MacVoices #25323: Kirk McElhearn Takes Control of Apple Media Apps (2)
Our conversation with Kirk McElhern about Take Control of Apple Media Apps looks at the steady maturation of Apple’s media apps—Music, TV, Books, and Podcasts—and why major changes are now rare. Kirk unpacks Apple Music’s personalized stations and discovery, the “hits rise to the top” problem, and why many podcast pros still prefer Overcast despite Apple’s transcripts. Plus: how Apple’s services strategy nudges users toward subscriptions, and why managing your own library adds complexity. (Part 2)
