    Music to iPhone sync - option to only sync new tracks missing

    Hi all, The usual disclaimer - if this topic has been covered elsewhere (I did search) or I should have posted this to a different board (it spans several categories), I apologise! When I sync Music (v 1.1.5.74 on Big Sur 11.4) to my iPhone 8 (iOS 14.7) it is syncing all songs and not just...

    Tracker sequencers for Mac

    I was thinking about the old Amiga A500 I threw out a few years back and remembering back to what I used it for the most. I fondly recall the many hours spent using the SoundTracker MOD players and sequencers which I used to just cobble together throwaway bits of music with. Is there anything...

    Big Sur 12.4 M1 Music not Connecting to HomePods

    My Intel systems connect fine. The Music app on my M1 connects and the domes light, but there is no sound. I had the same issue with the Monterey beta. Restarting HomePods has no impact as is tapping the volume in case that is set too low. This is with ALL my HomePods - two stereo pairs each of...

    Apple Music Music Library DB Compatibility Bug Sur 11.4 to Monterey

    I am considering downgrading from Monterey on my M1 mainly due to some missing app compatibilities (Rogue Amoeba apps and CodeWeaver's Crossover.) Has anybody tried to see, whether Music in Big Sur 11.4 shares the db format of Monterey? Catalina's db worked with Big Sur through 11.3.1 until...

    Apple Music Spatial and Lossless Audio with Built-in Speakers? Converter?

    Do the built-in speakers in the latest versions of iPhone, iPad, and Mac support spatial and lossless audio? In other words, I don’t need headphones to take advantage of these features? Also, if I enable High-Resolution Lossless, a messages appears saying that external hardware is suggested (to...

    Apple Music Dolby Atmos on Apple Watch?

    Has anyone found a way/know if it's possible to get Dolby Atmos songs onto Apple Watch for listening from there? I've removed the downloaded (non-Atmos) file from Music and allowed things to transfer over to Watch but so far it's still playing the non-Atmos versions.

    Music app in Big Sur - cuts off start of songs, won't recognize anything in folders

    Since upgrading to Big Sur the Music app has started cutting off the first few seconds of songs -- on the computer and also on the iOS devices it syncs to. I've tried all fresh downloads, I've tried a new library, I've tried a new user. (I do NOT have "Crossfade" enabled.) I am wondering if...

    Apple Music crashes all the time, since 10.15.7 (19H512) update (?)

    It didn't crash immediately after the security patch installation so I don't know whether it has anything to do with that. Anyhow, I cannot play music anymore (for longer than perhaps a few minutes) from the iCloud. Any ideas what might cause this? I'm running late 2013 iMac and can't upgrade to...
