The kind of guy that if I told him I mainly listen to music through a 2.1 Altec-Lansing desktop system or a USB LogiTech headset, he'd probably respond "as long as it works mate, but maybe grab a pair of Senny hundos."

Not necessarily, but it's about your enjoyment and what you get out of the hobby which is listening to music in the best ways possible. Also, who cares how Drake listens to music? If he doesn't use audiophile gear to listen to music, that has nothing to do with how others listen to music and if it's pointless or not.

You can download the Apple Music app from the Playstore, but you can never log into it. When you submit your user credentials, it just loops back to the log in screen. I don't really know what the issue is, but I'm guessing it has something to do with cryptography / security used by Apple accounts that is not supported on this SoC.
