    Apple Music refuses to play songs for me

    Apple Music has been acting weird for me. For some reason, it refuses to play songs all of a sudden, displaying a "Checking for downloads..." message in the Now Playing bar. It then cycles through all songs in the album, skipping them, until it plays a song I've played before (and presumably...

    Pathetic Searching in Apple Music

    Searching in Apple Music is incredibly pathetic. For example, I search, in iTunes, for "yesterday", click on Songs>See all and I get 37 results. "All"? Five of the results are for something other than songs titled "Yesterday". The Lennon/McCartney song "Yesterday" has been recorded over 3000...

    Blacklist songs I hate (get dislike to actually work)

    Is there a way to "blacklist" a song in apple music? I find it infuriating that even though I have disliked a song they will continue to recommend it to me in "for you" and it will still play in the radio stations... Am I missing something or are the apple provided playlists intent on...

    Anyone still sync with iTunes?

    Just out of curiosity, I'm wondering how many people out there still sync their music through iTunes rather than using something like iTunes Match or Apple Music? I'm including a poll to get a general idea of how people sync their personal music libraries.

    How do I get back to an Apple Music playlist?

    I was browsing around in the Moods section and started a playlist and ended up liking it. But I had been browsing after I started it and I can't remember what it was called. It's easy to get back to the full playlist on Spotify but it doesn't seem as intuitive on Apple Music on iOS. If I...

    Apple Confirmed Apple Music and Family Sharing Issues

    I first noticed the issues when my both of my iPhone 6 phones stopped accessing Apple Music. I also received a notice via email "Your Apple ID,*, was just used to download,*, from the App Store on a computer or device that had not previously been associated with that Apple ID. You may also be...

    Apple Music Error 12894 when trying to play certain tracks...

    "The operation could not be completed / an unknown error occurred" When I try to play certain songs (that I added myself, not downloaded from Apple Music) I get this error. Then it just skips to the next song. I have tried hard pressing on the problem song, removing the download, and then...

    Apple Music UI Glitch

    Hello everyone, I've noticed a new UI glitch in Apple Music and wanted to get forum feedback on this. This video shows what I'm seeing: The glitch is this: when in Artist view in the iOS app (10.2.1), I tap on some artists and there is NO glitch (Adele, Olsen, Angels, Beatles). But then I...

    Why I cancelled my Apple Music Subscription

    The reason I switched over from Spotify to Apple Music is because I bought an Apple Watch Series 2 and Apple only let you sync their service to the watch. No Spotify, Deezer, Amazon Music, Tidal or anything else including Podcasts…. Apple Music only! But seeing as the music library was about the...

    Apple Music & iTunes Match/iCloud

    I currently have Apple Music & iTunes Match. I'm thinking of cancelling Apple Music, do I need to download all the music I've saved from Apple Music to keep it, as I have iTunes match? Or does it simply just need to be in my library to keep it after my Apple Music subscription ends?

    Apple Music and Facebook integration?

    Do you think Apple will allow Apple Music to connect to Facebook so that I can see what my friends are listening to? I think seeing what music my like-minded friends listen to is the best way to discover new music. Thanks in advance!

    iCloud Music?

    Is it worth purchasing iTunes match if I've purchased all my music from iTunes? What would the advantages be of using the match service? From what I understand, it's going to give me the ability to sync playlists, play counts across devices without having to manually sync them. Is there any...

    Problem with playing music on Apple Music since ios10.2

    Since updating to iOS10.2 I've been experiencing problems with Apple Music. It will take ages to play the song, when it does finally play it will stop at different times as though it has lost connection, and I will have to keep having to press play to continue the song. Sometimes I'm faced...

    hey guys. Is there a way to download music from a YouTube-MP3 converter and put it on your phone AFTER you've been using Apple Music and most of your music is on your phone?

    Can't Remove Some Songs from My iCloud Library

    I added a playlist that contained a song I already had in my library from a different album. For some reason, iTunes decided to "add" it to my library, despite having the option where adding songs to your playlists also adds it to your library turned off (If that matters)... As you can see, I...

    Adding random MP3 files to Apple Music collection?

    A question for Apple Music subscribers: is it now possible to add our own MP3 files (that do not exist on Apple Music) to our collection? While testing Apple Music on lunch, I remember being stuck and having to temporarily turn the iCloud Music Library off, upload my MP3s (via iTunes) and then...

    Apple Music in iOS 10: Worse in every way

    I am astounded at just how much worse Apple made its Apple Music app in iOS 10 versus iOS 9. Let me count the ways: Radio: Click "play less like this," and nothing happens. You have to advance past the undesired song manually. Bug! Radio: Start a station based upon a currently playing song...

    iTunes match/Apple music nearly destroyed my life

    Okay this is an extreme exaggeration, but I thought I had lost about 1/2 of my music forever, but managed to get my "greyed out" songs back to my iCloud music library, but I still have about 200 songs that are greyed out and not eligible for iCloud music library for reasons unknown, but I'm fine...
