    Apple Music Quality

    I recently posted this query on the official Apple forums but it got removed. I don’t know why but it’s in their Terms and Services that they can remove any post. Maybe someone can help? I queried: why in the age of 5G, increased storage space and unlimited data do the songs on Apple Music...

    Why does iTunes briefly show an empty popup window when accessing online features, only on one of my computers?

    When I choose any online part of iTunes a window pops up for a second or two, is blank apart from an indeterminate-style spinner, and goes away after a second or two. - This happens on my Mac mini (2018), but not my MBP (early-2013) - Mac mini is 3X or 4X faster than the MBP - Mac mini was a...

    Outlined Heart Icon?

    I was looking at my music library in the Apple Music desktop app, and I noticed some songs had red heart icons next to them, indicating that I had "loved" those songs, of course. There were also some songs that had just the red outline of a heart next to them. What does this indicate?

    Apple Music Profile Avatar Separate?

    Settings > Messages > Share Name and Photo When I update this avatar, iOS asks me if I want this to be my avatar everywhere, or system-wide... but this doesn't seem to apply to the Apple Music profile avatar. Am I getting that right, or is my iOS being glitchy?

    So, I can't get Apple Music to display text, song names and artist names, in Japanese. I have the language set to Japanese, nothing. Even tried changing region to Japan, also nothing... It's quite annoying. :P
