altongeiger, I totally get where you are coming from. Apple Music is an awesome product to have. I use it often myself. Keep in mind that you actually can get Apple Music free for 6 months if you have the Go Unlimited or The Verizon Plan Unlimited which is an older plan of ours. Apple Music comes included free if you are on the Beyond or Above Unlimited plans. Check out the link below for more details.
