    Adding newly released tracks to Apple Music Library?

    I was wondering if anyone has found a way to update my library with newly released songs? When I add an incomplete album to my library, and then it's fully released, the album still shows incomplete/unreleased in my library. The only way to access those greyed out songs is to delete the album...

    Universal MusicMessages! — A Collaborative Sequencer for iMessage

    I'm a believer in oddball ideas, so I made (what I'm fairly certain is) the first sequencer for the iMessage App Store, MusicMessages! The interface is mainly comprised of a grid of buttons, each representing a musical note in time. Tap in a few melodious chords, play back your piece, and send...

    iTunes match/Apple music nearly destroyed my life

    Okay this is an extreme exaggeration, but I thought I had lost about 1/2 of my music forever, but managed to get my "greyed out" songs back to my iCloud music library, but I still have about 200 songs that are greyed out and not eligible for iCloud music library for reasons unknown, but I'm fine...

    Music Playlist: How NOT to enter Shuffle Mode?

    It seems every Playlist I play plays only in the Shuffle Mode. I cannot figure out how to get the songs to play in the sequence in which I placed them in the playlist. I have tried clicking the Shuffle All button once I see that the random mode is enabled, thinking this might toggle OFF the...

    What MBP should I get?

    i need one by the end of the week. I'm torn between these for music production: 2015, 15 inch rMBP, quad core i7, 16gb RAM. 2016, 13 INCH rMBP, dual core i5, 8gb RAM. the 2016 is the cheaper, the only reason I'm considering it, is because I'm thinking it'll have a longer life span than the...

    Audio pausing on iOS 10.1 – Facebook background audio?

    Hi, Since upgrading to iOS 10.1, or for the past few days at least, I'm noticing issues with both the standard Music and Podcast apps pausing randomly for no reason. This happens both when walking with bluetooth headphones and when connected to the car via lightning. I can't find a root cause...

    iOS10 Music App: Perpetual Play Annoyance

    Never been a big fan of the Music App on the iPhone; for years now I've kept my music separate on my trusty old iPod or Nano. But I've ventured into the idea of having one device instead of lugging around multiple devices, and loaded up my iPhone 6S with music from my iTunes library - not...
