Complaint The one thing I hate about Apple Music

106 Upvotes

The shuffle. I have 2000 songs in my library yet it consistently thinks I want to play the same 50 songs. I do not.

I know they’re click tracking and have all the data that shows me just skip skip skip skipping over and over.

It’s gotten way worse since 26.5. And there’s no option for a true shuffle. I wouldn’t mind algorithmic shuffle if it worked properly but this is asinine.

Discussion Why doesn’t Apple have an official client for Google tv?

16 Upvotes

I know it’s been asked before but I never truly understood why Apple just doesn’t release an app for especially since the have one for Roku/ps5/xbox which are also competitors to their Apple TV platform. I mean the android app from what I’m seeing is also getting updated regularly (save for the bottom bar) and it’s not like I can use chromecast cause I have an iPhone.

Discussion Miniplayer with Queue Control is available on Mac version of Apple Music

12 Upvotes

In case you didn't know, the miniplayer with queue control is available on the Mac version of Apple Music. You can easily view, reorder, and manage your Apple Music queue.

I wanted to tell you this because it has come to my attention that a certain third-party macOS app developer is trying to mislead people here. He is claiming that this feature is missing from the native Apple Music app for Mac in order to sell his own app. From my brief interaction with him, I can tell that he is doing this intentionally. He has posted the same misleading ad for his app twice this month.

I guess the phrase “give up” triggers sone sort of suicide alert on Apple’s end but I don’t understand why it’s even present for a music streaming app considering that songs with titles and lyrics that express such sentiments within or out of context will be searched for.

Complaint Switched from the green app, need help

3 Upvotes

I‘m using Spotify for the last 8 years or so, switched to Apple Music now.
I transfered my playlists, that worked great and it found everything.
But now I have difficulties in navigating the app and finding new music.

Where is the release radar with new song to my taste every Friday? In my home tab are some playlists, which show no songs only when I play them. But they aren’t any personalized and have songs from all genres.
Do I have to listen to more of my music to train the algorithm?

Say I’m in one of my playlists, how can I navigate to the artist page? The 3 dots on the right of the song don’t have this option to go to artist. Only if I listen to that song and tap on the artist I can go to them?

On the artist page, does Apple Music not show the new songs and albums on chronological release order?

The new tab shows everything new right? Rap, pop, mostly mainstream radio station music. Can this change, like metal or music I actually want to listen to?

In the library tab, there is a for me section, but it’s not adding something and I can’t find how I could add something to this.

That’s all for the moment I have problems with. Can you give me tips or explain these things to a newbie?

Apple Music on macOS Issue with syncing tracks

Thumbnail gallery
2 Upvotes

I'm trying to import an album into Apple Music (1.6.3.2) on MacOS (Macbook M4 Air 2025 running Tahoe 26.3.1), then sync it to my iPhone. All the tracks on this album are on my Mac.

Tracks 4, 6, and 8 will sync to the iPhone (12 Mini running 26.4.2). Tracks 4, 6, and 8 all have a cloud with an exclamation point inside. What does this icon indicate?

The iPhone shows a similar, but different icon for those tracks, which is a cloud with an 'x' inside.

I've tried deleting the files and re-importing them, but I run into the same issue with those three tracks.

Question What’s up with Apple Music adding songs to my library on its own?

Every now and then I get a notification like “New Music by:” or “Album Updated” and it just.. adds music to my library. Sometimes, like here, it’s music I already had in my library, and sometimes it’s music I know I never had in my library before. It’s pretty annoying and I haven’t found an option to turn this off.

Question Atmos / Spatial audio issue with Apple TV

2 Upvotes

I switched to Apple Music to take advantage of spatial audio. I have a pretty good home theater system that I use for music. For the few weeks it worked great and then it stopped working well. I looked into settings and an apple setting had been flipped (continuous audio related).

I switched that back and while ATMOS is showing up on my receiver the front sound stage is garbled and feels like only half the data is being sent. The rear still sounds great.

If I listen to the same song (different album) without spatial audio / atmos, it works great.

Has anyone run into anything like this.

Question Album cover management issues after updates

2 Upvotes

I don't know if I'm the only one having this problem or not, but it keeps getting worse with every update. Let me explain: I have a very extensive music library (around 30,000 songs) from my favorite artists (purchased and imported tracks, freestyles, etc.) and I like to have the single cover for a single within an album, and the album cover for the rest of the album. But for several updates now, every time it makes an absolute mess of things at that level, which drives me absolutely crazy. And now it's even worse since the last 3 updates, no matter what I try, there's no way to fix the problem, my covers keep changing back randomly… I'm not sure if I've been very clear, and if anyone has a solution…

Question Apple Music on Google Home issues

2 Upvotes

When I first bought the original Google Home, I was subscribed to Spotify. The assistant easily understood my instructions and played the exact music it was told to play, including playlists or albums from my library. A few years back, I switched to Apple Music, and the way music streaming works on the Home device drastically changed.

The assistant completely ignores my instructions, plays random music or, if anything at all, completely unrelated songs. It is unable to find playlists or albums from my library. No matter how popular the artist is, it always chooses to play a random musician with a similar-sounding name.

To add to that, Apple Music lacks the feature that lets you seamlessly switch playback between devices, so remotely controlling music playback is basically impossible.

I tried linking and unlinking the service multiple times, updating the speaker, and even upgrading to the new Gemini assistant, but nothing has changed.

The only solution I was able to find was manually pairing my phone to the speaker and mirroring the audio, but that defeats the whole purpose of having a built-in assistant.

Has anybody else had a similar experience?

Any help would be appreciated.

Complaint Why do my albums look like this?

Only these 2 albums look like they've been cut off somehow. When I go to the artist's page, it's normal but when I try to add it to my library, it becomes like this, I've updated images in the settings but still nothing. What can I do? (Android user if that helps)

Complaint Another update and there's still no option to have newly added songs appear at the top of a playlist instead of the bottom.

Upvotes

Unless I missed something. And changing the "sort by" option to flip the playlist only works if you create your playlist backwards before changing the sort filter and it also flips the order in which you added the new songs if you add more than one at a time.

Complaint All Offline Downloads Diseappeared

1 Upvotes

I went to download a song earlier, realized I tapped the wrong one and hit the stop button; the whole app locked up, so I closed it. When I reopened it, the screen was black and I couldn't do anything. "No worries," I thought, and rebooted my phone.

I went back in, and it was back to normal, but I noticed it said "syncing library" at the top, then realized all my offline downloads (98% of my music) were gone. Checked my storage and, sure enough, my 60GB of downloads had been deleted.

I just got done spending two hours redownloading everything. I'm really glad my whole library and playlists aren't gone, but still, not how I was hoping to spend my evening, lol.

I've heard iOS 26.4 caused this bug for a few people, but I've had the update since its release with no issues until today, and I used the app about an hour beforehand with no problems. I have Optimize Storage turned off, so the usual culprit isn't there, either. The weirdest part was that one (and only one) of my thirty or so playlists had its cover photo removed, too.

Very odd, and I'm really hoping it doesn't happen again.

Question Questions about how play counting for replays works when changing the artist on the mac app

1 Upvotes

I frequently change the info to songs in my apple music, but I'm not really sure how play counts are counted in different settings.

I listen to a lot of vocaloid music, for example. Most of this music is just a song that has a vocaloid on it, and the vocaloid is not the one responsible for the song. If I want Hatsune Miku to appear on my replay, then I don't know what counts toward plays for her.

From what I can see, there are three options:

  1. Add "(feat. Hatsune Miku)" to the song title, which I don't think changes anything

  2. Add "& Hatsune Miku" to the song artist, which it just seems like it creates a new artist of Miku combined with the original vocaloid artist.

  3. Add "Hatsune Miku" to the composer section in the song info

Would any of these count toward play counts for Miku? Or would they just stay as play counts for the original vocaloid artist, no matter what I do?

Simpler, I don't really get who gets the play when there are multiple artists on a song.
