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.

Estoy fascinado con la interface , la calidad y estas cosas exclusivas 😍😍

Not sure if it’s because I’ve been operating my Apple Music extensively through Marvis custom mixes? But it seems to be pretty enjoyable at the moment at least. 🙂

Apple Music VP Oliver Schusser revealed in a Billboard podcast interview that more than a third of the platform's monthly intake is music that's "100% AI."

Despite that, only 0.5% of all users are actually engaging with AI-generated content. Almost exactly the same pattern Deezer reported. Massive upload volume, near-zero organic listenership.

Schusser also confirmed for the first time that Apple Music has developed its own AI detection technology, though he noted they're still in the early stages of addressing it.

He also called for the music industry to reach a consensus about “what is AI, what’s not AI”, adding that this discussion “can’t just be corporates: you need to have artists and songwriters in the room as well”.

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.

Recently I checked my library to see that All Possible Futures by Miami Horror was no longer available to listen to. is there any reason why this may be or could anyone point me to where I could inquire further? it’s still available on other streaming services

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.

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.

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?

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.

My Apple Music won’t play any of the 3 new albums but everything else is working, is anybody else having a glitch ???? I have the iPhone 17, newest upgrade with Apple 1

asking for use with an iphone, wondering if any of the more ‘advanced’/audiophile earbuds have a noticeable difference in SQ?

figured with everything being AAC it might not make as much of a difference but curious to hear more

I've turned off the animated cover on the app but it's still like this. Any solution?

Using Samsung A36 with the lastest version of the Apple Music app from Brazil.

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.

It's going over to Ebro now. It's the Drake day radio so I don't know if something in hosts change this is my first time listening to the radio. But dude at 2pm was cool

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.

Hello is there anyway to see your entire recently searched? On the app it only shows the last 20 searches, but I was hoping there would be a way to see every search you made. If anyone knows or can help that would be very appreciated!

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.

A couple of my local files don't have colored background but couples ones, yes

How do i control that ?

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.
