    Apple Music Quality

    I recently posted this query on the official Apple forums but it got removed. I don’t know why but it’s in their Terms and Services that they can remove any post. Maybe someone can help? I queried: why in the age of 5G, increased storage space and unlimited data do the songs on Apple Music...

    Universal Spotify and iTunes in one app - Plum Music Player

    Spotify is a great platform, with awesome curated playlists and music discovery algorithms, but I always thought that their mobile app had a pretty, yet not very intuitive interface and that browsing music saved in library seriously sucked (as I’ve seen, it’s not exclusively my opinion) So I...

    When sorting MP3s a separate album is made

    So for the past few weeks I've been getting this error when I put an mp3 and add it to an already existing album it creates and entirely separate album of the same name and info. It only does this with MP3s no matter what artist or album. I noticed it did this even before updating to a newer...

    Serious issue with last several seconds of songs repeating. Seems to be metadata-related.

    So I first noticed this on my iPhone but I've now pinpointed it down to what seems like the metadata in the mp3's themselves. If I'm playing a song, once it gets to the end it hangs at "0:00 remaining" and then jumps back several seconds (sometimes up to 10 or 15 seconds), replays that last...

    How does iCloud Music Library *actually* work?

    Hey all! I am an avid music collector and have used Google Play Music for almost a decade now because of it's cloud-based music locker service that it offers alongside streaming. Since it's shutting down in October, I have my eyes on Apple Music as the closest replacement. I am trying to clarify...

    Music app and disappearing tracks from smart playlists

    Something weird just happened with the Music app on Catalina. I have a smart playlist with some rules. I've got the playlist on shuffle and when I hear a song I like, I drag it into another playlist. The track then disappears from the smart playlist completely. It's still in my library, and...

    iMac G4: How did people optimize it for making music? (MIDI rec latency issue)

    I'd like to occasionally use my G4 for musical drafting. I put an SSD into the iMac recently, but haven't updated the RAM from the 1GB it has now. I probably will eventually, but somehow it feels like it's not the culprit, or that it's not the only culprit to the issue. The issue is that even...

    Typed Siri Commands in Shortcuts?

    Since the Apple Music app doesn't display song release dates, unless you navigate to the album, I want to type out the Siri command "When was this song released" to run as a shortcut. Is that possible?

    Best memory and storage for old MacBook Pro?

    Hi all, I’ve been given an old MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012 - 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5) and a box of extras - memory and storage mostly. It looks like there is some decent stuff here. Are there any aficionados that could tell me what I should install and what I should sell? (I'll mainly be using...

    Music store purchases show duplicates with cloud icon; any way to globally hide these?

    Apologies if this has been covered, but I couldn't find any recent notices in the search: I'm fairly new to Catalina and the new Music app. Just made some purchases from the store and I'm noticing consistent behavior with my new purchases (songs or albums): duplicate files are shown of each...

    iPod touch iPhone + iPod Touch combo?

    Anyone here uses an iPod Touch alongside their iPhone? If so, how are your use cases with them? I know iPods are not really a thing anymore in 2020 and the tech itself is very outdated. But for me personally it has a nostalgic value to it. It was my first ever Apple device as a kid and I’ll...

    Smart Playlists - Sort by Year?

    I've created smart playlists to group music from different decades (70s, 80s, 90s...). The rules for the playlists involve a date range (1990-1999). However, the music within these playlists are not sorted by year. They're all mixed up. I would like them to be sorted by year, ascending. Is there...
