My preference is to keep using my own music library, forged over decades from recording off the radio and mix tapes with mates, ripping CDs, Napster, playlists, and increasingly-curmudgeonly ways... I have my reasons.
Apple's ecosystem is certainly moving towards their subscription service. I...
I'll keep it short: apparently, Apple has deliberately turned “Recently Added” view, a heretofore useful feature for perusing your library in chronological order like you would, say, your Photos.app library, into what is essentially a glorified “Recents” stack for albums, having capped its...
For years, I’ve used this command to play the entire album that has the currently playing song.
For example, if I’m listening to a playlist or “radio” and a song comes on and I want to listen to the full album that the song is on, I used to just say “Play this album”
This no longer works. It...
Hi all,
I’ve been building my music collection since my first iBook in 2000: I have quite an extensive library.
I made the switch to Apple Music as part of the whole subscription in 2019 (fitness, news etc). First of all, it made a mess of it all. Took days (not surprised, lots of music) and...
Apologies, I'm sure this has been discussed here before, but I can't find a thread that matches my case much.
So, I am an Apple Music subscriber, iTunes user from the first version, and someone who has transitioned from having one personal Mac to having several older Macs. I had one designated...
tvOS has this screensaver setting:
Problem is, it never works. It didn't work in my Apple TV 4K 2021, and it doesn't work in the 2022 (yes, I'm one of the suckers who bought the 2022 version that had barely anything new compared to the 2021, not even a decent DAC to output 96 Khz audio)...
Hey all,
Back in the day, before Apple Music, before the Music app, I used iTunes and subscribed to iTunes Match; I had my own bought (and ripped from CD) music library uploaded to the cloud this way. I then kept my music library locally, and backed up via time machine.
Many eons and computers...
I’m currently driving a year old Nissan with CarPlay and plugging in (not even relying on Bluetooth) my iPhone 13PM into it and for two or three years maybe, it plays like clockwork. Seemingly, since the release of iOS 16.4 or so, I set up the phone plugged in, play music from Apple Music, start...
I am subscribed to the Apple One Family plan including Apple Music, which includes Match. I have a lifetime of building my library with close to 60000 tracks.
Apple Music frequently forgets that a local track exists and wants to download it again. There seems to be no way to add the track back...
I have a playlist with 1000 songs that I want to copy to a USB stick for the truck. In the music app I go to my playlist and select all of the songs. Every time I drag them to the USB stick in Finder it copies only 654 over. After determining some of the missing songs, I've noticed that I can...
I would like to move the data from these 2 apps to a NAS, which presents it to the LAN as a SMB share. To regularly and conveniently use these apps from my (only) MacBook Air laptop without having to be physically tethered to a USB device...
Photos - to be able to simplify the syncing of photos...
I have just spent two full days and several calls to Apple support trying to figure out why my beloved iPod Classics suddenly stopped syncing with the Music app as well as iTunes (via Retroactive 2.0). After a lot of testing, it appears that everything works fine on 13.1 but not on 13.2. I would...
I have a Mac Studio with Monterey that is taking the place of a 2018 Mac Mini on Mojave. The Mini had my music library in iTunes and with Monterey, it seems as if I should use the music app.
I seem to remember the transition from Mojave to Catalina way back when doing weird things to people's...
Music App is one of the most popular apps on an iPhone. Which new features, design/UI changes would you like to see in the next iteration of the Music App on iOS?
I have the following suggestions.
1. Continuity feature
This would allow to continue listening to a song on another device. This...
Hey MacRumors!
I would love to receive some more feedback on my music app called NowPlaying.
NowPlaying is the perfect companion app for anyone who loves music. I like to see it as the digital version of the old liner notes you get when buying a record. This app uses the power of ShazamKit and...
An Apple guy suggested I look through the .itl iTunes library files to get the list of all artists, albums, playlists, smart playlists, folders, and songs that I had before my Apple Music collection disappeared after updating to Monterey. He told me the reason could be that I didn't pay for...
Hey Macrumors, I'm happy to present Tape It.
Tape It is a recording app for musicians and songwriters. It's for every musician who currently uses Voice Memos. If you're tired of scrolling through New Recording 161, 162, and counting, then Tape It is for you.
Features:
thoughtful and clean...
I HATE the autoplay function in the Music app. Don't remember when it first appeared, but it has a tendency to just fill up with stuff I never wanted to play that I then have to manually go clear out. Is there any way to just disable it completely??? (Yes, I know that it is red in this...
There have been a lot of changes to the UX I really hate over the last iOS version, the biggest one is the trend towards subfolders
In iOS16 I’ve noticed 3 new ones:
- In Maps, you now have to tap twice to change the type of transport, once to open the subfolder and once to choose it. I suppose...
