    Universal Mac Media Remote - A Siri Shortcut to Control the Music and TV Apps on your Mac

    This Siri shortcut is meant to be an alternative to Apple's Remote app. It's not as pretty but it's faster and thus more convenient. This Mac Media Remote shortcut controls both the Music and TV apps on a Mac computer. Versions 3.0 and later are only compatible with iOS 13 and MacOS 10.15.x...

    In Apple's Music.app, how can I search among comment ID3 tags?

    I use the comment ID3 tag to apply sub-genres to my songs (e.g. a song by Metallica will have 'Rock' in the genre tag, and also 'Metal' in the comment tag). Prior to Catalina, in iTunes, I used to be able to use the search functionality to search my library using comment tags. Now, in Music.app...

    Music store purchases show duplicates with cloud icon; any way to globally hide these?

    Apologies if this has been covered, but I couldn't find any recent notices in the search: I'm fairly new to Catalina and the new Music app. Just made some purchases from the store and I'm noticing consistent behavior with my new purchases (songs or albums): duplicate files are shown of each...

    iPhone Music app for my FLAC files

    Hi, Do you have by chance a good music app (Free or not but without subscription) to suggest for playing offline HI-res music? I recently bought a DAC to connect to my iPhone for this purpose and also have bought some FLAC albums from Qobuz in the past. I would like to avoid to have to buy a...

    HomePod I can't AirPlay to my new HomePod from Music App from my Mac

    Hello, I've just finished setting up my HomePod. Everything works fine, except when I try to use it as an AirPlay speaker from the Music app on my Mac. It keeps telling me that "only people who share a home in the Home app can control this speaker" (my translation, don't know if that's the...

    Music app won't play Matched songs "not available in your Country"

    I have iTunes Match (now iTunes in the cloud?) and Apple Music. Quite often a track, that has been Matched (because I've ripped it from a CD or something), just won't play from the Playing Next list and the Music app is just hanging (sometimes "for ever", other times just for a while before...

    iPhone New Apple Music app called SongOwl

    iPhone Music in my car restarts the playlist whereas it use to not do that...

    I switched phones to iPhone 11 at the same time everything updated to iOS 13. At the time, I was listening to podcasts and not music. Now, using 13.3, the music acts different than it use to. I'm in a 2015 Fit that is not using Car play but connects via bluetooth to the iPhone. In the past...

    Hello, I installed Catalina in a new MBPr some weeks ago, and updated my iTunes library there. The library and the music are on an external SSD. Most of my music are ALAC rips from my CDs.
