Hi, I hope someone can help with this Music challenge. I lost my Apple Music library but I have an iTunes library backup from late 2019. This was when my music files (about 75,000 music tracks) were stored on an external drive. The files are now on my Synology NAS. The library is on my iMac...

I have configured shortcuts for different decades of music: Here is an example of the configuration: The first time I ran one of the shortcuts, it created a playlist in Music with all of the music in my library for that decade. However, when I ran a different decade shortcut, it created...

So, in iOS 14 and 15, there are two sliders on playing media on the lock screen (Volume and Scrubbing). In iOS 16, that went away, and I'm kind of upset. it was super convenient for when I don't have the time to unlock my phone using FaceID or use the volume buttons. Anyone know why it went away?

So due to the music sync issue to the Apple Watch I want to remove all the music from the watch, a normal backup/restore restores the music (which I don’t want ;-} Music is not showing in the Apple Watch > Music. Thread about this; https://bit.ly/3Gua5zr

So I have an issue with music synced to my Ultra, music on the watch isn’t listed, and there is an album ”stuck”. So today I erased both and issue persists (my iPhone 13 Pro had a beta and when I connected my phone to my Mac it prompted me to update -I assumed it was 16.2, but it wasn’t I...

Does anyone have any ideas and experience with an alternative to the junk and crap app “Apple Music” that has my music library held hostage? Now that I have upgraded my hardware in computing inventory, on both moble and big boy toys It seems I am stuck with the default music player for Apple...

Hey all, I hope someone can help me out. My wife and I have Apple Music through our cell phone provider, so we have separate accounts. This is fine, except with one specific HomePod mini. Our home is setup under my account, and we have multiple HomePod minis. One of these is setup with my wife...

Hi everyone, first time poster here. My beloved iPod died (gah!) and as a replacement, I bought a refurbished iPhone 8 (iOS 15.6.1). Once I got the phone, I plugged it into my Windows laptop, fired up iTunes (ver 12.12.4.1) on the laptop, and then manually dragged-and-dropped all my music into...

I think they might be automatically trying to connect to my coworker's AirPods, but I don't see how this would even be a problem because her AirPods would not be registered as being owned by me. There is bad service in the building where I work so I can understand how Spotify would be an issue...

Has anything more been said or heard about Apple's move to offer a classical music streaming service that was talked about several months back?

Hi. I have a couple of smart playlists on my iPhone 13 (iOS 15.6) and I would like them to persistently shuffle and repeat. The shuffle function is always on, but I have to activate repeat every time I return to Music and the playlist. Somehow ironic ;-) Tried activating both in the playlist...

Have the backup files on a hard drive (don't use iCloud because Apple sucks at syncing) from an old iPhone that has all my music on it. Can access the files through iExplorer. Is the only way to put the music on the new iPhone so that it is in the Music app (difficult when Apple uses generic...

I have been using iTunes Match from the beginning and have a large number of albums. Before Dolby Atmos and lossless it did not matter that much, if a track did not match. Now it makes a difference. I just got Kraftwerk 3D The Catalogue (Live - 8 CDs) and ripped it Apple Lossless using Music...

I have noticed that for some time (probably my whole time in Monterey) that when I regular close the Music app on my Mac, it immediately starts bouncing again and reopens. This happens over and over unless I right-click the icon and close or force quit the app. Has anyone else seen this? Any...
