    MusicCovered new app music for collectors

    Hello everyone I’ve been using my Mac to digitize albums for over 20 years, always relying on iTunes and now Music. I won’t deny that I miss the old iTunes… That’s why I decided to develop an app call MusicCovered for those like me who love their music collection and carefully edit file tags...

    Does SoundCheck work with AIFF audio files in the Music app on Sonoma?

    There is currently a bug in the Music app in 15.3.1 and 15.3, where Sound Check doesn’t work (at all) with any AIFF audio files that have been to your local library. This is not the case with any WAV files and MP3’s you might add, so it’s oddly only an issue with AIFF. Can anyone help test out...

    Apple Music Apple Music and Podcasts not syncing between Mac and iPhone

    I love the idea of the apple ecosystem, and I even sacrificed a lot of performance by getting a mac studio for work instead of a windows PC costing half as much (and still having probably been more powerful), but sometimes the lack of functionality is so frustrating... I got onboard the full...

    Music App: Any way to copy local playlists and retain Ratings and Favorites?

    In the year 2024, I am still burning playlists to DVDs just so that I can share them and import them onto other Macs. It seems like this method is still the only way to copy and move a playlist while retaining the Star Ratings and Favorite (heart) status. I've tried the 'Playlist Export' (XML)...

    How do I move iTunes Library from Windows to macOS 12.x That Does Not Have iTunes
