    Does the built-in Music app show file information (ID3tags, bitrate, etc)?

    I have an iPhone Xs Max and was playing one of my songs that I transferred over to the phone storage via iTunes. I was able to see the name of the song and length on the iPhone, but there isn't any menu option for "info" etc. Something that shows ID3 tag info, bitrate, etc. Often I like to...

    iPhone Settings for Music Optimized Storage

    At some point in the past year (maybe when iOS 12 was installed?), a thing popped up on my iPhone asking me if I want to use optimized storage for music. It sounded good so I hit yes (big mistake). Now I’m having the problem where my iPhone 6 randomly removes downloads of songs I’ve purchased...

    Other Hey Siri While Playing Music

    Listed as a feature available on the apple website, as well as verified a feature by talking to apple support, it is almost impossible for me to activate Hey Siri while playing music above level 2 volume.

    Apple Music with Alexa

    Hey, I just received a new Amazon Echo and therefore I had to switch to Spotify.

    Independent artists support

    My problem with AM is the way they treat independent artists. Unless you are with a record label AM treats you like a second class citizen. I do applaud Apple for attempting to pay artists more. Classy and appreciated ! . Spotify does a great job letting independent artists edit their home page...

    128 kbps MP3 vs. 256 kbps AAC (iTunes Music)

    I was wondering if there's much of a difference in audible quality between these 2 formats. I have some old mp3 files that are 128 kbps, and I have purchased a few songs off the iTunes store and see that they're encoded at 256kbps AAC. I listen to my music mostly on my iPhone using the built in...

    Old School vs. New School

    So, it seems like that time has come, time to update some gear - specifically my laptop. Currently using a mid 2013 MacBook Pro (2.9GHz, i7, 8GB) but feels like it's starting to run a little hot. I use Ableton Live (in studio and performance) and the idea of this bad boy farting out on me live...
