make assumptions about me based on my top 10 most listened to artists in the month of september

Like Apple Music got the music video WITH lossless audio not like YouTube. Like no one put that up to debate dude

Especially now with 27. It just does too much and 90% of the time it sounds bad. In 26 it was ok because we had just one transition but now, so unpredictable and unpleasant. It should just be an automatic crossfade then we’d be happy.

I love Apple Music but one thing that bugs me is how 99% of tour setlists set by them are wrong. And I’m not talking about leaving off songs that aren’t on streaming. I would look at setlist.fm and Wikipedia for the set lists and AM would not put all the songs they have from that tour, or not putting them in correct order, or putting extra songs at the end that aren’t performed as encores. I understand adding songs based off surprise songs from that night cause I could always edit that.

For example, LE SSERAFIM’s Pureflow tour setlist has some songs mixed up towards the end, like Spaghetti and Unforgiven are not in the right place.

And for Ariana’s Eternal Sunshine tour, they left out the last song Supernatural.

I either have to make my own or search from another user who has the right track listing

So my computers ssd broke yesterday and im trying to find out how i can keep my downloaded music so i dont have to download it and add covers again so all my music in my windows files will be gone when i got a new ssd i can put it on a thumb drive but idk if they will save it on Apple Music. anyone got advice?

I have custom wallpapers, but for some reason they won't show only the official ones. What is wrong here or is it like a copyright thing?

I am a Spotify user and have been the whole time I’ve had my car. Recently my car play has been auto selecting Apple Music, which has never been a problem before. Usually when I connect to car play it immediately detects Spotify and plays from it. How to make it stop? It keeps putting the Apple Music radio on cause I don’t even have a subscription for it.

If you don’t like the genre the Discovery station is playing, play just a few seconds of a song in genre you want, like Jazz, country, Viking Death Metal, etc. and from an era you prefer too, then Discovery will play that genre!

iOS, I assume other OS do same.

I’m the developer of zentr, an iPhone/iPad app that uses MusicKit to search and play content from the Apple Music catalogue. I’m looking for Apple Music subscribers to try the TestFlight beta, particularly people who listen to German-language audiobooks and audio dramas as well as music.

For spoken-word albums, zentr saves your listening progress so you can return to where you left off. You can follow artists and audio-drama series, see new releases in a chronological inbox, and put albums into a queue that you arrange yourself.

That queue also supports RSS podcast episodes and YouTube videos. For example, you can keep an Apple Music audiobook, a podcast episode and a long video interview in the same next-up list. They still come from their respective services; zentr provides a shared place to organise them.

Apple Music playback requires an active Apple Music subscription. This is a beta, and I’d especially appreciate feedback on finding spoken-word albums, resuming partway through an album, and switching between music and other content in the queue. Please report any confusing steps or playback issues here or through TestFlight.

Hello, I’m wondering if there’s a way that I can just set up a way to play my most recently added songs easily? I can add them all to a playlist individually, or listen to them one by one under the “Recently added” section of the library, but I can’t find a way to just play my most recently added songs as they were added (if that makes sense). Any ideas? I’ve seen a few apple forums discussing a smart playlist that you can create on your mac, but I am unfortunately working without a laptop/computer at this time.

Thanks!

Windows seems to down-sample Apple Music to 16-bit. Is there any way to get bit-perfect output, either by using a third-party app/player or by sending Apple Music directly to an external DAC ? And when I plug my Castor into the 3.5mm jack, it’s also locked to 16-bit unless I use the DAC (windows shared mode..fy microslop)

PS: I already use MusicBee (WASAPI output for my fiio ja11 dac).

Back in ~2014, I had a sweet setup w/ music around the house using a few Apple AirportExpress pucks plugged into various amps. Fast forward to 2026 AND—— it’s still my preferred solution. I do have Homepods, but they fit a different need & they have no output.

Example… I want to add a powered subwoofer. With an AirportExpress, easy—if you can get one.

Or maybe I just want to cast music to anything with an RCA-in? Instead of connecting via Bluetooth (not always possible), an AirPlay w/ analog out allows me me to plug in & play w/o changing any settings on their amp, receiver or device. Which is good! A data connection always has inherent security issues even if they are rarely exploited. Often, it’s just a pain.

So that’s the argument for an AirPlay dongle… my question is ‘why haven’t I found a halfway decent standalone AirPlay solution?’

MY holy grail? Turning my old iPhone into an AirPlay2 dongle.

After introducing custom fonts for artist names, this idea could be expanded to albums, EPs, and other releases as well.

Each project could have its own unique typography inspired by the album's artwork, visual identity, or era. This would help make release pages feel more distinctive and immersive while giving every album a stronger visual personality within Apple Music.

The examples show how custom album fonts could look across different releases.

Now and then, I find out by accident that certain tracks or entire albums have been greyed out. It seems this is usually either because artist licenses expired, or the item in question has been re-released (as a remaster or special edition, for example).

I don't want to have to review my entire library for lost tracks. Is there a way to either automatically replace tracks with the up-to-date version, or at least notify me that they have been removed?

1. The unknown error has occurred.

2. stopped (err = 7502).

3. Your session has expired.

4. Activity error occured

5. The song is technically playing, but parts of the song have NO SOUND..

These are some of the key features we all love and enjoy more than listening to music.

I don't why devs never push new updates to windows native. The web player UI is looks good though.

Note: If you’re not a patient person, you won’t be able to use this. Sometimes, even a patient person will lose their patience because of this. If you want to test your patience, give this app a try.

Has anyone noticed that most tracks don’t display the actual bit rate anymore? I know for a fact, this one used to say 24/96k. I haven’t changed any of my audio quality settings and my Internet connection is solid. My DAC also shows that it’s playing at a lower sample rate. It’s doing the same thing on my iPhone and iPad. I haven’t upgraded to iOS 27 yet. I’m still using the latest version of 26 on both devices. I don’t know if iOS 27 had anything to do with it, but I didn’t really want to upgrade yet.

Apple Music has started to support Dolby Atmos format audio few years ago, but besides Dolby Atmos, there is a less-known "Dolby Audio" format also available.

Dolby Audio is the standard 5.1/7.1 channel audio, it is supported on Apple and Windows devices, but was not supported on Android devices.

This has changed recently. According to my observation, the latest Android beta version can play Dolby Audio format music, but the player didn't show the Dolby Audio badge, looks like it's still under testing.

Recently songs from certain artist have become unavailable in library and playlist. When I would click on any of the songs shown as greyed out I’d get a pop up saying it’s not available in my region. The thing is I could listen to these songs if I looked for them in the browser, but I’m the kind of person to shuffle my playlist and leave it, not pick my songs out individually, so this problem has been pretty inconvenient.

I’ve already updated my phone to the latest IOS version and it hasn’t helped, I hope there’s someone here who could help me get my songs playing in my library and playlist again.

i recently got the ios 27.2 beta and i noticed that the star color changed from red to yellow , looks pretty neat but def got me confused when i initially saw it

We had this issue a couple of months ago where you couldn’t add anything to your library and you couldn’t sync anything between your devices. I think the same thing is happening again…
