    Import Windows iTunes library into Catalina Music?

    I tried copying over my Windows iTunes library, and opening the .itl library file with the "Choose Library..." feature when option-clicking the Music.app, but it doesn't accept it as a valid library. Has anyone figured out how to import a Windows Library into Music?

    iPhone AirPlay fails on iOS/iPadOS, works flawlessly on MacOS. Ideas?

    I have the latest gen Airport Express plugged into powered speakers. My MacBook Air is able to send audio to those speakers without ever failing to connect. 100% success rate. On iOS/iPadOS, however, it has a mind of its own and connects when it wants to. Fails many, many times. Often I have to...

    Will a CLEAN install lose my iTunes playlists?

    I want to do a clean install of Catalina and then pull my user data in from my backup drive. My only concern is for my legacy iTunes library. How will the new Music app know to convert from the old iTunes format to the new Music app library? Most important to me are my iTunes playlists. I don't...

    Music App and Backing Up appropriate files

    Ok so I wonder if anyone else here has done this yet. For the past many years I’ve kept iTunes on an external drive. Then I would back up the entire iTunes folder, once a month, to other external drives for safe keeping. I have a large library. I upgraded to Catalina yesterday and fired up the...

    Catalina and Remote Control Music App

    Hi folks, I tried googling and searching this forum, but could not find any solution to this. Am I mistaken, or is the ability to remote control the new Music App, previously iTunes, with your Apple Watch? Both devices are on the latest betas and yet the remote app on the watch can't seem to...

    Music App won't play music

    For some reason the music app won't let me play music I bought unless I hit the next button. Happens on the Metallica Hardwired deluxe album. If I select any of the first 6 songs it will play it, but if I want to play a song that is from disc 2 or the bonus disc nothing will happen. Lets say...

    Memory footprint of new Catalina media apps?

    Anyone know the average memory footprint for the new Music, Podcasts, and TV apps? (I say 'average' because there's variability in the footprint over time. Upon first launch, it's always at a low amount, but that changes over time.)

    All Devices iOS 13 Music app, Recently Added still there?

    Greetings! For those with the iOS beta, is that dumb Recently Added section in the Library section of the Music app still there in its large prominent unchangeable glory? I’ve been hoping seemingly forever it could be removed or at least customized to something else. Am I going to be...

    Library Synching is ---

    Has anyone noticed when you open the Music App on the iOS13 you have an option that says "Library Synching is ---." Then an option to turn it on/off? What is this about?

    Does anyone use the app On Song

    Not sure if this was the right place to post this. I have been looking at the app On Song that runs on iPad/iPhone. to transfer my paper guitar music to digital. Most reviews I have read are positive but there are about 10% 1 star reviews that hate it. Looking for some real world opinions.

    Does the built-in Music app show file information (ID3tags, bitrate, etc)?

    I have an iPhone Xs Max and was playing one of my songs that I transferred over to the phone storage via iTunes. I was able to see the name of the song and length on the iPhone, but there isn't any menu option for "info" etc. Something that shows ID3 tag info, bitrate, etc. Often I like to...

    Sharing Same Music Over 2 AirPods

    Wouldn’t this be cool? Does anyone know of a way either native or though a third party app that would allow two AirPods to share the same audio at the same time. Bose Q35 do this and it’s great! Nice when on a run with someone, commuting, or just jamming out! Any ideas?

    Apple Music searches long load time

    I was wondering if anyone else is having an issue with searches on Apple Music taking a REALLY long time to load? It typically takes about 15-20 seconds to load, once it was searching for around a minute. It's been this way for a few weeks now. I've had my new iPhone XS Max for a week now and...

    Sync Music to multiple devices

    There must be an easy fix to this but I can't find it. I use iTunes to manage my music. I have it set to sync checked music only. I sync about 40gb of music with my iPhone 7, which has 128gb of storage. I've decided my iPod touch, which has sat in a drawer for five years, is a great way to...
