    Audio cutting out on M5 Pro MacBook Pro using AirPods Pro 2

    I have a problem that I have been dealing with for the last 2 weeks. I have an M5 Pro MacBook Pro that I got the week of launch and recently my AirPods Pro 2 have been cutting in and out on my Mac only. It is not consistent, so I don't know what could be causing it. It started with Apple music...

    iOS 28 Wishlist

    With iOS 27 doubling down on performance and usability, here’s hoping some of these small quality-of-life improvements make the cut for iOS 28. None of these are big swings, just friction points that come up regularly. Apple Music: Surface “Added” Playlists When Adding Songs When adding a song...

    Apple Music Song Merging

    Hello everybody. I have a Macbook Air M4 on Tahoe 26.5. There was a version of a song that I loved and reminds me of a time in my life that has since passed. That memory means a lot to me and so when the song was removed from Apple Music for some odd reason, it was really saddening. Therefore...

    Apple Music Album Art Doesn't Update Properly in macOS Tahoe

    I've got a major problem going on with Apple Music since I upgraded my MacBook Pro to Tahoe recently. I had made the commitment a while back (actually I started a couple of years ago) to finally update the metadata on my Music library to place songs on their appropriate album, add chart...

    Can no longer revoke access to Apple Music in 26.4

    I can no longer manage access to Apple Music from other devices as of iOS/iPadOS/MacOS 26.4. There used to be a "Apple Music" section under the "Account Access" section in the Media Account settings in iOS/iPadOS/MacOS as seen in the screenshot on https://support.apple.com/en-us/118412, but...

    Apple Music skipping beginning of songs

    So playing around with my indigo blue 512 GB MacBook Neo. I noticed in Apple Music, whether the songs are locally stored or streaming or at whatever bit rate I play them, It skips the very beginning of each song. I have confirmed that song transitions are off. Interestingly enough, if I skip...

    CoverFrame: Album cover based remote for VOX / Music / iTunes with live lyrics

    I’ve been working on something. The idea was to turn an old iPad 4 into a “living album cover” that also doubles as a remote control. It only works with filesystem-based music collections—CoverFrame can’t handle an iTunes Library directly. That also isn’t how I like to organize music. I want...

    iOS 26.2 playback audio stops over AirPlay

    When using Apple Music with AirPlay on iOS 26.2 (and also iPadOS 26.2), playback audio stops after about two songs, even though the iPhone/iPad shows the next track as playing on lock screen / in Apple Music. If I rewind to the start of the song, the audio comes through the speakers again as...

    Music (App) Crackles and Pops on wired output

    M4 Mac Mini When playing back music it crackles and pops constantly on high notes. I've tried MP3s and ALAC files. But only over a wired connection, bluetooth is fine. If I play those same files in VLC or I stream from Youtube over a wired connection, everything also sounds fine. So this is a...

    Apple Music language switched to Chinese?

    I feel dumb that I can't figure this out, but I can't figure it out. :( The language in the Apple Music app on my Mac has been switched to Chinese and I don't know how to get it back to English. This is not a change I deliberately made. Presumably it happened some time while I was traveling in...

    Apple Music has become very flakey

    Since the Tahoe updates, Apple Music seems to have become quite flakey. My Station, which I play quite a bit, just randomly skips tracks. Radio - My fav station just does nothing when I click play. The radio was never the most reliable on Apple Music, but an Apple Music restart usually fixed it...

    New Playlist Bug: All Playlist Folders Expand After Creation

    I have a large Apple Music library with dozens of playlist folders and subfolders that I keep organized. Since updating to macOS Tahoe 26.0 and Apple Music version 1.6.0.151, I’ve run into a frustrating bug: whenever I create a new playlist, every single folder in my sidebar automatically...

    It seems like the ability to search for lyrics in your library has been removed in the betas of iOS26. Is anyone able to refute this? Bug or feature?

    AirPlay as a Concept

    Dear iOS-Users, is there something to the AirPlay-Concept that I don’t understand. I think it’s very handy for short-time sharing content to speakers/tv. But for me it’s absolutely unusable to use AirPlay to play music/podcasts over a longer time. Because every time you accidentally have some...
