    Apple Music Popular Track stars gone from Apple Music?

    Can we talk about how Apple Music is a mess on Monterey?

    Over the last couple of weeks Apple Music has tried my patience. We know it was a little flakey before macOS 12.2. Since 12.2 came out Apple Music is pretty buggy. Sometimes while searching for an artist, Apple Music will not let me type more than one letter in the search field before beeping...

    Apple Music How to display only downloaded songs in Music on Mac?

On iPhone, there's a section in Music where your downloaded music is displayed separately, its basically the main view just for downloaded stuff. Is this also available on Mac? Also, how can I remove all Music downloads without...

    HomePod HomePod mini issue

    We have had HomePod mini for a few months but have only encountered this issue yesterday. Possibly caused by 1 5.3 update. The device recognises my and my wife’s voice separately and is pretty good at playing our own individual playlists. However when my wife asked Siri to play her station it...

    HomePod HomePod Mini insists music is playing when it isn’t

    Before I launch it out of the window, does anyone else have an issue with their HomePod mini ‘playing’ music just to stay silent. I’ve checked the obvious things like volume, Siri responded to requests then just sits there silently whilst music doesn’t start, albeit shows on my iPhone. The...

    Apple Music has just showed up on the App Store for my LG C9! Think that’s made my Apple TV redundant now. Unless it doesn’t support Lossless/Dolby Atmos but I’m sure it will!

    Apple Music Not blown away by Dolby Atmos spatial audio

    This may or may not be a controversial post. After listening quite a bit on both my 2021 16" MacBook Pro & my new Apple AirPods 3, I find myself going into Apple Music preferences & turning Dolby Atmos off. Some songs sound good. There seem to be more songs though that don't sound that great...
