    I’m curious if anyone else is experiencing this issue. When using Handoff to transfer music from my iPhone to my HomePod mini, the Now Playing screen on my iPhone goes blurry and I have to lock and unlock my phone in order to get rid of it. I’m running iOS 15.0.2.

    Does anyone know how to export Spotify to the music app? I do not have an Apple Music subscription. I tried using songshift but it requires an Apple Music subscription to export it to Apple Music. Does anyone know how to do this?

    Downloading Apple Curated Playlists

    If I download an Apple curated playlist in Apple Music, such as New Music Mix, what happens to the downloaded music next Friday, when it’s updated? I’m assuming the new music will be downloaded. Will the previously downloaded music remain downloaded, or be deleted?

    Apple Music Correct Cloud Status? Local Matched files not appearing as local after reindex

    I have a pretty large library for over 50000 tracks. Since it was in disarray after many years I decided to re-index the lot. I have most of the problems resolved but a sizable number of tracks that are local show as NOT downloaded. Is there a way to correct it en masse? Does Doug have a script?

    Tracker sequencers for Mac

    I was thinking about the old Amiga A500 I threw out a few years back and remembering back to what I used it for the most.
