hello Question for HomePod mini users. The music I have collected across the decades (uploaded cds, iTunes/Amazon purchases, independent downloads, etc) are all in the iTunes library on my 2013-build iMac .... I am not always at my desk, my Mac is often 'asleep' ..... would a HomePod mini be...

I bought a new Mac mini that I am using at home, and I would like to keep the music library synced with the music library on my MacBook Pro. They are both running 11.0.1. I buy music from various services like Bandcamp and use download codes from vinyl records. I'm hoping to avoid having to...

Hi, anybody here using the album art screensaver in Big Sur (or Catalina - has not been working there as well)? It does not show any album art, although my Music library contains 700 albums - almost each one with a cover picture. When the screensaver kicks in it says something like "there is no...

I am running Big Sur on my 2017 MacBook Pro (v11.0.1). I am running High Sierra on my 2011 Mac mini (v 10.13.6) Home sharing is fully enabled on both devices, yet I cannot see the Mac mini Library in the MacBook Pro Music app. The MacBook Pro is running an iTunes Match based library with all...

Trying to view files in the trash on an external hard drive. I keep my Music Library on a new external HDD formatted with APFS. Some times, when I delete a track from Music, I get the option to "Move item to Trash" or "Keep File." Other times, I delete the track, it gets removed from Music but...

Hi there! Since a few days, Apple Music doesent show all Albums of an Artist. On apples side, not in my Library. If I go to „most popular songs“ and then show albums I see all of them on „other albums“. can someone check please? For a test: search the band „tool“. I only see one Album. Or...

Most of my songs in iTunes on Mac are duplicated for whatever reason. I use Apple Music but also have some songs from local storage. Sometimes both copies are playable, sometimes one of them is greyed out. When I look at the cloud column, one copy says "Removed from iCloud" and the other one...

Most of my music is my own or from my old CD collection I took a free trial of Apple Music and found throughout my collection the album artwork had been replaced by the wrong album artwork, sometimes even the wrong artist. Years later I am still finding wrong artwork in my collection. Does...

I recently posted this query on the official Apple forums but it got removed. I don’t know why but it’s in their Terms and Services that they can remove any post. Maybe someone can help? I queried: why in the age of 5G, increased storage space and unlimited data do the songs on Apple Music...

Hey guys, meet Plum Music Player, a new app that offers fresh take on music library management and playback by offering extensive sorting and filtering options as well as many awesome ways to manipulate the playback queue. Unique features: Spotify and local music from iTunes in one app...

Spotify is a great platform, with awesome curated playlists and music discovery algorithms, but I always thought that their mobile app had a pretty, yet not very intuitive interface and that browsing music saved in library seriously sucked (as I’ve seen, it’s not exclusively my opinion) So I...

So for the past few weeks I've been getting this error when I put an mp3 and add it to an already existing album it creates and entirely separate album of the same name and info. It only does this with MP3s no matter what artist or album. I noticed it did this even before updating to a newer...

Anyone else have this issue? I have two Apple ID accounts: one for iCloud and one for the App Store. Not sure if this is causing the issue.

So I first noticed this on my iPhone but I've now pinpointed it down to what seems like the metadata in the mp3's themselves. If I'm playing a song, once it gets to the end it hangs at "0:00 remaining" and then jumps back several seconds (sometimes up to 10 or 15 seconds), replays that last...

I have an iPhone XR, my rMBP was replaced with a Dell XPS I have an old MBP that has a battery swelling issue I think and want to move my iTunes library over to the Dell. I just signed up for 200GB iCloud storage and thought that surely the backup feature would back up the music on my iPhone...

Hi, The Music App stop recognizing my iTunes folder, prior to yesterday every time I drag a new song into the Music app, the file was moved into the ~/iTunes/iTunes Medias/Music/. My mac automatically shut down early in the morning after rebooting only songs that I added less than a week ago are...

Hey all! I am an avid music collector and have used Google Play Music for almost a decade now because of it's cloud-based music locker service that it offers alongside streaming. Since it's shutting down in October, I have my eyes on Apple Music as the closest replacement. I am trying to clarify...

Something weird just happened with the Music app on Catalina. I have a smart playlist with some rules. I've got the playlist on shuffle and when I hear a song I like, I drag it into another playlist. The track then disappears from the smart playlist completely. It's still in my library, and...

My app, Plum Music Player recently got an awesome update which allows you to build your own folders inside of the app. They can consist of albums, artists and most importantly playlists! Check out video showing the app on Imgur! Spotify is a great platform, with awesome curated playlists and...

I'd like to occasionally use my G4 for musical drafting. I put an SSD into the iMac recently, but haven't updated the RAM from the 1GB it has now. I probably will eventually, but somehow it feels like it's not the culprit, or that it's not the only culprit to the issue. The issue is that even...
