Oliver Schusser, VP iTunes International, speaking with the Guardian:

There’s a lot of work going into making the product better. Our focus is on editorial and playlists, and obviously we have teams all around the world working on that, but we’re also adding features and cleaning up certain things.

I wish Apple waited a few extra months before launching the service. Imagine if they took the time to work out all of the bugs that users still experience before debuting it to the public. It may have been met with a warmer welcome than the mixed impression we all had initially. And Android users would have only had to wait weeks instead months to join the service.
