    Some Album Art not Showing in Music App?

    Hi, I mainly have a lossless music library on my mac that is neat and tidy with covers and clean ID-tags. I don't use Apple Music. I let macOS - previously Music/iTunes -, transcode to AAC when syncing some playlists to my iPhone, which is plugged-in to the Mac (Lightning to USB-C). I already...

    iPhone Music app - having to redo the entire library and playlist each time I get a new Mac

    I have a bunch of playlists along with my music library on the computer. The thing is, once it syncs to the iPhone, anytime I buy a new computer (without doing a direct data transfer from old Mac to new), I lose my entire library and settings as it fails to preserve what is in the music and just...

    Hi! I'm using a Libratone ZIPP MINI 2 to play music from my Macbook Air M1 (running latest Monterey 12.4) via Airplay. When first connecting to the ZIPP, everything works just fine. But: when I close the Macbook to return later or playback pauses and goes into "standby" for other reasons and I...

    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...

    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...

    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...
