    Can you sync system audio volume and Apple Music volume?

    I'm trying to find a way to have the system volume and apple music volume be the same. What I mean is if I set system volume to 50%, Apple music volume is also at 50% and so on. The reason for this is I'm listening to music and use the touch bar or menu bar to change the volume, it only changes...

    I got my 13 Pro Max a few hours ago, I did the usual Sync with the cloud, all my apps, texts, emails etc. all populated normally. But I do have 2 issues... 1. None of my Apple Music has downloaded? It's all just there and streamable but not on my phone itself. 2. It says I have zero Photos and...

    iPhone not syncing music with Mac

    Since I've updated to iOS 15, I cannot sync music to my iPhone. I've added two songs to Apple Music on my Mac, and attempted to sync with my iPhone so I could play them on the iPhone. But the iPhone never imports the songs (.mp3) although they appear and play in Apple Music on my Mac. I...

    Apple Music Apple Music Free for 6 Months Offer with AirPods — Old Purchase

    I purchased my 2nd Gen AirPods just after release (March 2019 to be exact) and after updating to iOS 15, I am now being told that “Your AirPods come with 6 free months of Apple Music. Redeem now.” This seems strange to me since I bought my AirPods 2.5 years so ago, and am just now getting this...

    Apple Music Apple Music app on macOS - automatic sample rate switching

    Hi all There's been some postings deep inside some threads so I thought to start a dedicated thread about this. As many of us know, Apple Music app on macOS does not support automatic sample rate switching, the way the app does on iOS. You need to manually change sample rate with Audio MIDI...

    Apple Music I found a track with distortions on Apple Music (and iTunes Store)... thoughts?

    TL;DR: there is a track on Apple Music / iTunes Store which has distortions that aren't on the original CD, and despite me proving this to Apple, they are denying there is a problem. Please bear with me, this is going to be a long one, but I'd love to hear some other people's thoughts on this...

    Apple Music Apple Music Lossless iOS and iPadOS Issues

    Having been using Apple Music Lossless on a few of my devices since it was launched, I am persistently encountering weird issues during playback so wanted to see if others were too and what they'd tried to fix them. It seems the main issue is that many songs when playing get stuck after 15...

    Apple Music Anybody else been paying for iTunes Match unnecessarily for years?

    Years before Apple Music was even a thing I signed up for iTunes Match as a way to make my legacy ripped CDs accessible across all of my Apple devices. Today, 6 years late, I learned that Apple Music includes the benefits of iTunes Match! According to Apple...

    Music App Lossless Issue

    Has anyone noticed that the Lossless icon disappears after moving between lossless tracks or albums? I'm sure it's also reverting to lossy playback. Rebooting the Music app fixes it but it does't las long before it happens again.

    An app that displays bitrate / sample rate of audio?

    Is there such thing as an app that displays the current playing sample rate / bitrate of audio that's playing on MacOS? Basically wish this was a feature in iStat Menu, because with the new Apple Music I'd like to be able to know what resolution the audio I'm listening to is currently processing...

    Apple Music Lossless - iTunes match now a problem?

    As I understand it, Apple music will be lossless but any items uploaded via iTunes Match will not be? If I am correct here then it looks to be a pain for anybody with iTunes match. iTunes match items are merged into your iCloud music library and are not easy to separate so it will then become...
