Nearly a year after being introduced, Apple Music might be getting a much-needed revamp. A Bloomberg report suggests that Apple plans to redesign the music streaming service with a more "intuitive" interface and better integration with its other music offerings.

According to "people familiar with the product," Apple's goal is to make Apple Music more user-friendly. It also plans to marry its music download and streaming options better in iTunes while also expanding its radio service. According to the report, content head Robert Kondrk and Trent Reznor of the band Nine Inch Nails are overseeing the redesign, which should debut at Apple's annual Worldwide Developers Conference in June.

The report also suggests that Apple has been struggling with how to best intertwine its download-based iTunes store with its subscription-based music streaming service. Doing this is crucial as it would make the entirety of Apple's music offerings easier for customers to use. The heaviest criticism of Apple Music when it debuted was its confusing interface, so now Apple's challenge is twofold: making the app's UI more intuitive and adding music download capabilities and expanded radio service features into the mix.
