    Apple Music Is it possible to listen to a genre, without it populating your favourites suggestions?

    When I'm in the car I like to put on my "favourites" mix, it is usually upbeat indie dance stuff. However, I have recently started listening to Lofi beats when I am working, as I prefer to have some music, but I don't want anything too distracting. Now my favourites playlist has been taken over...

    Apple Music Starting to hate Apple Music…

    Hi all, I’ve been building my music collection since my first iBook in 2000: I have quite an extensive library. I made the switch to Apple Music as part of the whole subscription in 2019 (fitness, news etc). First of all, it made a mess of it all. Took days (not surprised, lots of music) and...

    I plugged in my over 20-year-old sound system (Panasonic SA-PM27) and was instantly reminded was decent bass sounds like.

    asking Siri play a specific song from my watch doesn’t work

    I’ve noticed recently that if I activate Siri from my watch, and ask it to play a specific song, nothing will happen. For example, I can say “play Let it Be by The Beatles” and nothing will happen. Previously, this would work. I can say “play songs by The Beatles” and my phone will start playing...

    Why no volume control on lock screen (iOS 16.3)?

    So, in iOS 14 and 15, there are two sliders on playing media on the lock screen (Volume and Scrubbing). In iOS 16, that went away, and I'm kind of upset. it was super convenient for when I don't have the time to unlock my phone using FaceID or use the volume buttons. Anyone know why it went away?
