    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. Obviously the volume of the music interferes with the mic's ability to pick up voice, so my...

    Apple Music with Alexa

    Hey, I just received a new Amazon Echo and therefore I had to switch to Spotify. Honestly, I really miss Apple Music, because it works much better, has better music recommendation, cheaper, and includes lyrics to every song. I was wondering if you think Apple Music will ever be supported using...

    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...

    How to play songs on USB attached iPhone in iTunes

    My work supplied me with a nice Macbook, but restrictions ( both policy and technical ) prevent me from putting music on it. I have tried connecting my iPhone using a lightning cable and then playing the music through iTunes to the attached speakers. However, iTunes won't play tracks stored on...

    Awesome desktop sprectrum analyzer!

    I came across this but it's only for Windows. I was wondering if there's something like this for macOS? I would love to have a spectrum analyzer on my desktop like this for my music.

    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...

    Apple Music searches long load time

    I was wondering if anyone else is having an issue with searches on Apple Music taking a REALLY long time to load? It typically takes about 15-20 seconds to load, once it was searching for around a minute. It's been this way for a few weeks now. I've had my new iPhone XS Max for a week now and...

    Controlling "Computer" music from iTunes/Notification Center widget?

    I barely manage to control the music played on my ATV4K by Computer app with my Mac. This is a picture of what I get: The song "Up and running" is playing, no artwork is shown (but usually that isn't an issue), the ATV appears as locked and the widget "In riproduzione" usually doesn't show...

    Adding song to Library from Playlist

    Anyone else's Apple music annoyingly when adding a song from a playlist to their library via the + icon in iTunes or on their mobile device, it just ends the playlist and stops the song altogether? Happen on both Mac 10.14 and iOS12. Painfully frustrating.

    Siri "Hmmmm..." with Music Requests

    Is anyone else having issues asking Siri to play songs? It doesn't seem to matter where I am, driving in my car, on wifi, out for a run, etc. but if I ask Siri to play a song, half the time she tells me, "Hmmmm, if you're not on wifi, make sure you have cellular data enabled" or something to...

    Pandora Fees/Charges? Free or not?

    I am not a Pandora subscriber, so I was a bit surprised that I still was able to listen to the various Pandora stations via Car Play, albeit with commercials. My car indicated the incoming streams were being received by LTE or 3G. Is this “normal”, or are there charges accruing merely waiting...
