    Can I use Apple TV for music without TV

    I am looking for a simple way to listen to Apple Music via Apple TV without a TV. What have I already tried: The Bluesound is connected to the TV with an optical cable and produces sound, but as soon as the TV is turned off, the sound also disappears. When I use Apple Music with only Bluesound...

    Transfer Apple Music Library onto Windows 10?

    So I recently built a Windows 10 machine. As much as I love MacOS and still run it on my Macbook Pro, I needed a machine I could upgrade myself. That said, I noticed that Apple music is available on Windows now. Cool. But I don't know how to transfer my Apple Music Library from my Macbook Pro to...

    HomePod Airplay 2 gets worse for me every year

    When I first started buying HomePods I thought they were amazing and loved the whole home audio. Now they’re a lesson in frustration if they work together at all. Most of the times they go out of sync. I also have an AirPlay Mac mini which almost never will play at the same time as the HomePods...

    Prevent Apple Watch from playing music on my phone?

    Is there a way to prevent my watch from playing music on my phone? I'd like to keep these things separate. If I want to listen on my phone, I'll use my phone. If I want to listen on my watch, I'll use my watch. I find the Apple Music watch app infuriating. Are there any settings I'm not...

    Apple Music Documents and Data

    Apple Music documents and data is taking up 5.29 GB of storage on my iPhone, despite me having zero downloads on my device. I have tried removing and re-installing Music to no avail. What is being stored? It seems pretty high to say I have no downloaded songs.

    In the past few days, I've noticed a peculiar occurrence: the absence of new Apple Music push notifications for recently released music. Despite verifying that new tracks from artists I follow do indeed populate the "New Music" section of the "Listen Now" page, I've yet to receive any...

    It’s crazy I have to ask this, but that’s the sad sad state of Siri today. I have 8 Gig of downloaded Apple Music songs on my iPhone and want to play them in my car using Siri. I have toggled off “Mobile Data” for the Music app. Can someone come up with a Siri request that will actually...

    Apple Music vs. Spotify on Apple Watch

    I recently got the Apple Watch Ultra 2. I have noticed that the Spotify app on it isn't great. Despite having downloaded songs to the watch, it still cuts out sometimes and I'm not exactly sure why. Recently it happened when my phone was in range and it seemed like it kept trying to connect back...
