Apple Music and updated iPods

I had a look in iTunes on the Mac and found that "For You" -- perhaps the most significant part of the service -- would connect, but no music was being played. I also tried the Radio stations. While Beats 1 connected, the Classical and Alternative music stations connected but would play no sound (like "For You").
