Continuing its rocky start, Apple's online radio station goes down on its first day

Apple launched both its new music streaming service and its Beats 1 radio station Tuesday, and it wasn't quite the smooth start the company probably hoped for.

The iOS update went live early, and presenter Zane Lowe seemed to not realize at first that he was live on air.

Starting at around 5:45 PM West Coast time, the service was completely down. When users tried to listen in, they saw an error message:

different_error_number__1024
different_error_number__1024

(Beats 1)

The service is now back up.

But not before Twitter had some fun:

It seems like Beats 1 outage may have been part of a larger problem Amazon Web Services, which experienced issues Tuesday afternoon. Reddit was also temporarily down for some users, for example.

An Apple spokesperson confirmed, contributing the "slight disruption" to "external server problems which impacted several sites."
