    The Apple Shortcuts app offers a shortcut to generate the top 25 most played tracks in Apple Music. Does this playlist live update, or do I need to generate a new one to update it?

    Manually adding songs to iPhone

    Downloaded Catalina today and, so far, mostly good. The one question I have: I always manage my iPhone media library (music and music videos) manually. They're not copied to the Macbook, only on the iPhone (mostly because it's TOO much media – hundreds of Gb, more than my Macbook can...

    Other iPhone, Spotify EQ and EarPods.

    Hey, I listen to music on Spotify a lot and recently started messing with the built in EQ inside the app. I'm just curious which EQ preset you prefer when using EarPods or AirPods? Do you set your own? No EQ at all? I tend to switch between Rock and Electronic preset.
