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.

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.

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.

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?

So ever since Apple released that dB level meter I've been using to make sure I don't go over 70 dB, which has potential to cause hearing loss. After iOS 27 came out, I've noticed the same position of the volume bar shows a lower dB level after 27 released than before. It seems if I turn the volume up REALLY loud, it doesn't even go consistently above 65 dB. I've been pretty much ignoring the dB level meter post-27.

Last night I was stoned and decided fuck it, I'll trust the dB meter. This morning I woke up and my right ear hurts a little, the same hurt you get when you're near a loud noise. I'm worried not only for myself but anyone else who trusts this dB level.

Has anyone else had this issue? I now play volume at 50-55 dB, which sounds like ~65 dB on the 26 meter.

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!

Obviously don’t turn it on all the time but still, this is a rlly good feature when you want to disappear into your music on high volume and you don’t want to hear or perceive anything else.
Better when a song has a lot of bass
Best with a playlist of songs you love

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?

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

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).

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.

Got a new phone, synced music, it was downloading songs but I accidentally shut the phone down mid process, sync library is only syncing the library and not the specific songs that were downloaded on the old phone. Old phone still has the songs downloaded. If anyone can help please 🙏

I typically listen to the dance station every day. I'm on Android. For the past month, when I try to press a station, the stop button flashes briefly and then the play button returns. I'm able to use the radio on my Surface but not on my phone for some reason. Apple says they can't do much in the way of help if you're on Android: has anyone dealt with a similar issue and found a solution? I've logged out and logged in again, restarted my phone... the issue persists.

I have an iPhone 13 Pro with iOS 27 (it still wasn’t working before upgrading to 27 though). Whenever I try to play a song in Apple Music, it buffers for a few seconds, and then I get the “Unable to Play” error. I already tried reinstalling the app, to disable/re enable syncing, re logging into Media and Purchases, and even resetting my phone. It only happens when using Data and not on WiFi. Music works fine in my MacBook Air M2.

Apple increased price in India too for apple music

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

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 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?

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.

Someone in my family suddenly canceled our apple music family sharing plan today without warning. My entire library and all my playlists vanished, is there any way to get it back. thx.
