    Looking to get my first HomePod in the coming weeks. I Don’t pay for Apple Music streaming but do havtwo dozen gigs worth of music I’ve saved up over the decade. Presumably these shouldn’t be any issue to stream right? The music exists on both my iPhone and iTunes on my MBP. I’m guessing my...

    I wonder if anyone else is having this issue... I was using an iPhone XsMax on 13.1, Apple Music worked fine. Downgraded to 13 in preparation for iPhone 11 Pro Max, Apple Music still worked fine.

    iTunes/Apple Music not working for El Capitan users

    I didn't see a thread about this, but it may already have been reported here... right now one of the more active threads on the Apple community forums is around Apple Music, which stopped functioning for anyone using El Capitan (10.11.6) about two weeks ago. About 600-700 users so far have...

    Apple Music in Europe

    Hi all, I'm currently using Spotify Premium but i'm thinking in unsubscribing as I'm really unhappy about the service. Spotify advertises very loud the feature of offline play when in the practise is a pain to use. First, when you are listening downloaded music in a plane you need to eat than...

    Importing iTunes library into Catalina's Apple Music?

    So recently installed the latest Catalina beta public 4 onto a separate drive just to explore and test out. Loving the OS so far, and while I will miss iTunes, the new change will be interesting. I'm having trouble importing my iTunes library though. Apparently an upgrade from Mojave will...

    iPhone Apple Music: Cannot download owned music to iPhone due to region unavailability

    Hello, I have been a Macbook user for about 10 years and recently moved to an iPhone as well from Android. I have an iPhone 8 (64GB). I have been subscribed to Apple Music for some time now (before getting the iPhone). Along with the Apple Music subscription I synchronised my iTunes library...

    Downloading/Archiving Purchased & Ripped Music from Apple Servers

    I am certain this topic has been discussed but I don't think I'm using the correct search terms to solve my issue. Here goes... Over the years, I purchased, ripped from CDs, downloaded from Napster/Limewire (LOL) many songs (1000s?). At some point (was it Apple Match?) I uploaded all those...

    Ripping all my CDs

    I’m thinking about ripping all my cd music collection to my iTunes app on my mbpr and get rid of all the CDs to declutter, but not sure about the ripping format? They say the “lossless” setting would be the most desirable. I understand it will take up a lot of room then. I alao understand all...

    Apple Music - Browse to Genres

    Well, to get to the genre of interest in the music app: 1. Tap Browse 2. Scroll to genres 3. new page - select your genre and tap 4. finally the genre page Steps 1 and 2 are a massive waste of time (for me at at least) and poor usability choice on this UI. More so because the UI resets back to...

    Apple Music Instagram Sharing Button

    Has anyone else noticed a new option to share songs via Instagram, directly through Apple Music. I'm assuming this is similar to Spotify's feature. Is this a new feature? Mine doesn't work when I try to use it, I receive an error message.

    Play Button [New to Mac]

    Am I the only one using Apple Music rather than Spotify? The sound quality on Apple is a lot better than the other. My problem is the behavior of the play button on Mac.

    Thoughts on Apple Music

    I finally decided to use my Apple Music 3-month trial. I already use iTunes to play my ripped CDs and I wanted a clean start. So I deleted the iTunes folder in Music, AppData and ProgramData. My music is saved on an external hard drive so I will keep them there while I try Apple Music. I figured...

    Does anyone have a solution for missing album artwork when using iCloud Music Library/iTunes Match?

    So far iTunes Match (on its own, I don't subscribe to AM) has been an awesome way to access my library from my work computer, but this missing artwork bug is slowly killing me. For some reason random albums' artwork fail to sync to other devices. After a bunch of googling it seems like this is...
