    Apple Music Dolby Atmos on Apple Watch?

    Has anyone found a way/know if it's possible to get Dolby Atmos songs onto Apple Watch for listening from there? I've removed the downloaded (non-Atmos) file from Music and allowed things to transfer over to Watch but so far it's still playing the non-Atmos versions.

    Music app in Big Sur - cuts off start of songs, won't recognize anything in folders

    Since upgrading to Big Sur the Music app has started cutting off the first few seconds of songs -- on the computer and also on the iOS devices it syncs to. I've tried all fresh downloads, I've tried a new library, I've tried a new user. (I do NOT have "Crossfade" enabled.) I am wondering if...

    It didn't crash immediately after the security patch installation so I don't know whether it has anything to do with that. Anyhow, I cannot play music anymore (for longer than perhaps a few minutes) from the iCloud. Any ideas what might cause this? I'm running late 2013 iMac and can't upgrade to...

    Internet Radio in Music

    There used to be an "Internet Radio" section in the iTunes sidebar; how do I find those without an Apple Music subscription. I can access the ones I placed in a playlist, but I cant find the master list. I'm currently on Catalina, but will have BigSur on my M1.
