While there are few user-facing improvements, it appears all of iOS 8.4.1’s changes involve Apple Music and Beats 1.

Some of these fixes are:

Resolves issues that could prevent turning on iCloud Music Library Resolves an issue that hides added music because Apple Music was set to show offline music only Provides a way to add songs to a new playlist if there aren’t any playlists to choose from Resolves an issue that may show different artwork for an album on other devices Fixes an issue where tapping Love doesn’t work as expected while listening to Beats 1

Much of the list involves syncing, iCloud Music Library, and offline music. Another major issue resolved has been affecting much of the team here: the inability to “love” a track while listening to Beats 1.

Doing so influences Apple Music’s “For You” recommendation algorithm.
