    Apple Music Documents and Data

    Apple Music documents and data is taking up 5.29 GB of storage on my iPhone, despite me having zero downloads on my device. I have tried removing and re-installing Music to no avail. What is being stored? It seems pretty high to say I have no downloaded songs.

    Apple Music on old iPad/iPhone

    I pulled out my iPad 2 (iOS 9.3.5) to use as a music server. I turned on Apple Music and iCloud Library (I also have iTunes Match). I can see my entire my entire music library on the iPad but only some of the tracks are able to play. When I select any of the greyed out tracks I get the message...

    Apple Music Apple Music Notification Issue: Missing Alerts for New Releases

    In the past few days, I've noticed a peculiar occurrence: the absence of new Apple Music push notifications for recently released music. Despite verifying that new tracks from artists I follow do indeed populate the "New Music" section of the "Listen Now" page, I've yet to receive any...

    Apple Music Apple Music for Windows

    Although my main machines are Apple, I have a couple of desktop Windows machines and a MS Laptop (Surface Laptop 4), so decided to try the new Apple Music app on one of my Windows 11 Pro machines (i7 11th gen, 32 GB memory, 2 TB SSD, 2 TB Disk and RTX 3090Ti) . I was surprised to see that they...

    Apple Music How to play downloaded music?

    It’s crazy I have to ask this, but that’s the sad sad state of Siri today. I have 8 Gig of downloaded Apple Music songs on my iPhone and want to play them in my car using Siri. I have toggled off “Mobile Data” for the Music app. Can someone come up with a Siri request that will actually...

    Apple Music I can't add a file to Apple Music - Help Please!

    I'm using a 2012 MBP with Ventura and I am trying to add a file with flacs to Apple Music. When I select the file and drag it to albums it doesn't add the file/album and again if I select album-file-import it still doesn't add. I have tried various files with flacs inside. Can anyone shed some...

    Apple Music Playlists album name + details

    My playlists are always a single album each. I used to create new playlists and the system would fill in the details automatically (on album page simply click 'add to playlist -> new playlist'). This feature seems to have disappeared, unless I am missing something? The new playlist now starts...

    Apple music Lock Screen widget remains after using CarPlay.

    Maybe I’m just missing something but every time I use CarPlay (wired) and listen to music, when I get out of the car I will have the music widget on my Lock Screen with the song paused. I can’t get rid of the widget even if I go into running apps, Apple Music is NOT running. To remove the...

    Apple Music vs. Spotify on Apple Watch

    I recently got the Apple Watch Ultra 2. I have noticed that the Spotify app on it isn't great. Despite having downloaded songs to the watch, it still cuts out sometimes and I'm not exactly sure why. Recently it happened when my phone was in range and it seemed like it kept trying to connect back...

    Apple Music This isn’t normal, right?

    15p gets quite warm while just streaming music playing through its speakers. None of my previous phones ever got even remotely warm playing tunes. It’s as warm as it is playing games. I didn’t want to add on to the heat complaints, but this is weird imo. I wish I had screenshots of how my 11 did...

    Apple Music New to Apple Music. Questions and first impressions.

    Hello everyone! As the title says, I’m new to Apple Music. I’ve been using Spotify every now and then, for more than 10 years, because on Mac and iPad you can use it freely with ads. However, I never used it intensely. It was fine, and I hope they remain an alternative to Apple Music...

    Apple One Apple One Premium

    I need to upgrade as I'm at 200GB and I was thinking that as I have Apple TV already and have a 3 month free trial for Apple Music - I can combine them. It'll only save me $3 a month as I have no interest in Apple Arcade, Apple News+ or Apple Fitness+. Can I share the storage with may...

    Apple Music widget still doesn’t work right in ios17

    When they announced in iOS17 that Apple Music was getting some interface updates I was hoping they’d finally get around to fixing the widgets so that it showed last played song, something Spotify does by default, instead it has a random song listened to many songs back and tapping the widget...

    iPhone Still Using Apple Music Classical?

    Apple Music Classical was in the works for years, allegedly. I fail to understand how this app could take so long to develop; it is a skin of Apple Music with slight improvements in searching, and some nicer art instead of corporate pop and rap stars plastered everywhere. All of the music I've...

    Problem: I want to be able to sync my personal music library / CD rips on Apple Music and sync it to my iPhone and possibly iPad if possible via my MacBook Pro (2021). I attempted to do this over the weekend and part of the instructions were to turn off iCloud music on my phone. Needless to...
