Apple this week appears to have started uploading full “replays” of Beats 1 shows to its Connect social network. Apple Music hosts including Zane Lowe, Julie Adenuga, and Ebro Darden have all shared full, unedited replays of their shows on their respective Connect pages over the past two days.
This process appears to have started yesterday, without any official announcement by Apple. Prior to uploading full replays, each host would share a playlist with every song that was played during their show. Interviews were also often made available after the fact, as was Zane Lowe’s daily “World Record.” In other cases, however, shows hosted by talent such as Pharrell and Joshua Homme have been uploaded to Apple Music Connect in full following their airing since the beginning.
Replays have long been a called for addition to Apple Music’s Connect social network, so it’s nice to see that Apple is listening and paying attention to requests from users. It’s odd that, with Lowe, Adenuga, and Darden being the three flagship hosts on Beats 1, replays weren’t previously available, but it’s likely that Apple saw the playlists as an adequate replacement. Replays of shows hosted by other Beats 1 personalities like Travis Mills and Brooke Reese are not available yet, however.
You can listen to replays for Beats 1 shows on Apple Music Connect now.
Thanks Christian!

Can you? I tried to play one of Zane Low. iTunes only brings me back to its frontpage but I cannot listen to it.
Okay, that’s inconvenient, again, like very much with the usability of the whole thing but you wrote enough about it. ^^ You “have to” click the circular play button. If you click the headline or other clickable items, it just redirects you to the frontpage… of the new tab.
BUT its censored, which is far from ideal when listening to Hip Hop/The Pharmacy with Dre. Come on Apple
