    Monterey Music app question

    iMac 19,1, Monterey 12.3.1, NO Apple Music subscription. If you open Apple Music APP to the Songs window, you will see columns of various data: Title, Track#, Artist, etc. For most columns ,clicking the arrow at top reverses alphabetically the assigned data in the column. For me, this is true...

    Songs from iTunes Music Store disappear from playlists

    Hi all, I've recently noticed that some songs purchased from the iTunes Music Store are disappearing from playlists (not the library) after I add them. When I buy a new song, TWO downloads appear in the library of my Music app. One has the cloud icon, the other does not. I add the one without...

    I backed up my old iPhone 7 to my Mac running BigSur. I restored this backup to my new iPhone 13. I do not use iCloud or Apple Music or Match. Everything transferred nicely via USB but none of my music or playlists are there. I only see some songs I had purchased from the iTunes store. In...

    Can't adjust volume of video in Music app

    I think I must be missing something. When I use the Music app, I can adjust the music volume with a slider at the top of the application's window. I use this to keep my music's volume much lower than I do my system sounds. However, if I open a music video in that application, the slider...

    Migrating Music app while preserving data/playlists?

    Hi folks! I recently purchased a new-to-me M1 MacBook Air. Usually, when I move from an old Mac to a new one, I would just clone the old computer's hard drive (or SSD) onto the new computer's. I did NOT do that this go around since I wanted to have a real fresh install to set-up -- not a...

    Media player apps seemingly unable to start playback at bluetooth connect

    Having just switched back to iPhone (after several years with Android) I was surprised that when my device connects to a bluetooth output device (like headset or car stereo) playback does not start automatically. Interestingly in the net there's a lot of people not liking this and complaining...

How can I turn off EVERYTHING (sensors, other funny stuff) and use it for music only? (I don't even...

    Mac OS Music App: Library jumps to last artist after any edit?

    Hi all! Every single time I make any edits to my Music Library, such as rating a song, deleting a song, editing any metadata — my library immediately jumps all the way to the bottom. As if I took the curser and dragged it all the way down, or searched for the last artist in my library. Happens...

    Music App in Monterey is horrible.

    MacOS Music app isn't the best app, ain't it. For example navigating playlists and sorting between tabs (Album, BPM, Genre etc.) is terrible. Searches do not show the correct results, importing tracks always skip a song or three. Very annoying. A large ALAC library, (almost) never caused any...

    Problem with Music app loading

    I have a M1 MBP running Big Sur 11.6. I have a music library of 31 GB, resident on the local HDD. Thinks have been 'OK' (though I consider iTunes to have been a seriously-flawed program in 2001 which got more flawed with each iteration, and the Music app has maintained that devolution). But I...

    With a music library on external hard drive: where do songs go when deleted?

    My music library (3TB) lives on a brand new G Drive external hard drive. When I delete a song in Music, I get this popup. I never receive a popup asking if I want to keep the file on my computer. In fact, the strangest thing happens: The song disappears from my external drive but is not visible...

    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.

    Universal Apple Music - Any way to Organize Albums?

    What's the best way to organize albums in Apple Music? For instance, can I have an album for "New Wave", or whatever, and drag individual albums to that folder -- without having it atomized into a playlist?

    Apple Music Radio Stations

    After upgrading to 11.3 my Radio Stations in Listen Now will not play more than 2 to 3 songs and it just stops. I have de-auth and re-auth, logged out of account, unchecked iCloud library. It works perfect on phone and iPad. Does not appear to be my account and machine, as my partner has a...

    iTunes/Music App cutting of songs that have been recently added

    Hi all, I am new here and hope this is the right place. So the iTunes/Music app has been working very wonky in the past and I think a lot of people have had very weird problems with it in the past. This is the last straw for me because I have tried a lot of things to figure out why this is...

So, I went into my purchased section in iTunes, there’s an icon to download it but after a few seconds it goes back to the cloud download icon and does not download. I have logged off iCloud...
