    Star Ratings - workarounds or time to move on?

    First, I want to acknowledge that star ratings are not for everyone. If you are okay with two indicators for music tracks (Loved, Disliked) then this topic is not for you. I have spent many years building my music library (15+ years, 15,326 songs, 9,382 rated). Star ratings have been the key...

    Using Apple TV app, how do you...

    The Apple Music app for Apple TV is actually pretty good considering how mediocre the iOS app is. But I can't figure something out (using Remote app for iOS). Say I've got the 'New' tab open and I click one of the new single releases. It starts to play automatically, which is fine. But how...

    (Running iOS 10 public beta 2 on iPad 4) Forgive me if this has been addressed, but I noticed my iTunes Hidden Purchases suddenly showed up in my iCloud Music Library.

    One of the things I like to do is stream new music while I'm working and if I hear something I like I go tag it to review later or buy it.
