    Resolved Fewer Lossless Content on Apple Music? (Resolved)

    I have lossless streaming enabled, but I almost never see the Lossless thingy above the Play/Pause button since updating to iOS 15.3(.1). Before it was shown with almost every song I played and searched, now it’s a rarity. Is this just a bug or is a lot of content not available in lossless...

    Apple Music How to display only downloaded songs in Music on Mac?

    I'm downloading some songs to my Mac for offline use, as one does. On iPhone, there's a section in Music where your downloaded music is displayed separately, its basically the main view just for downloaded stuff. Is this also available on Mac? Also, how can I remove all Music downloads without...

    Hi there, I got an iPhone 12 Pro Max running the latest iOS. I only been able to find one post on this but it’s becoming incredibly annoying that I can be playing Spotify at home but the moment my car connects it switches to apply music.

    Can’t play Lossless or Apple Digital Master

    Hello guys, I just got 2 months free of Apple Music and since I got an external DAC I wanted to try out Apple’s lossless audio and Apple Digital Master, but I can’t seem to get it to work. If I enable Lossless it only works for a brief time and then I get this error (see the photo below)...

    HomePod HomePod mini issue

    We have had HomePod mini for a few months but have only encountered this issue yesterday. Possibly caused by 1 5.3 update. The device recognises my and my wife’s voice separately and is pretty good at playing our own individual playlists. However when my wife asked Siri to play her station it...

    HomePod HomePod Mini insists music is playing when it isn’t

    Before I launch it out of the window, does anyone else have an issue with their HomePod mini ‘playing’ music just to stay silent. I’ve checked the obvious things like volume, Siri responded to requests then just sits there silently whilst music doesn’t start, albeit shows on my iPhone. The...

    Hi everyone, I have encountered an issue that is driving me nuts and wondered whether anyone else can replicate to confirm this bug? - I have 'live' concert albums in my Apple Music library on my iMac in Apple Lossless (ALAC) format, which play back gaplessly on my iMac as they should - If I...

    Apple Music Apple Music app on LG TV’s!

    Apple Music has just showed up on the App Store for my LG C9! Think that’s made my Apple TV redundant now. Unless it doesn’t support Lossless/Dolby Atmos but I’m sure it will!

    Apple Music Not blown away by Dolby Atmos spatial audio

    This may or may not be a controversial post. After listening quite a bit on both my 2021 16" MacBook Pro & my new Apple AirPods 3, I find myself going into Apple Music preferences & turning Dolby Atmos off. Some songs sound good. There seem to be more songs though that don't sound that great...

    Apple Music Apple Music - So close yet so far

    I have taken advantage of a couple of promos in the past and right now Apple Music is so close to being ideal for me where as previously I always gladly went back to Tidal, partly because of the sound quality but also for the other reasons mentioned below. Now that Apple Music has lossless +...

    Can you sync system audio volume and Apple Music volume?

    I'm trying to find a way to have the system volume and apple music volume be the same. What I mean is if I set system volume to 50%, Apple music volume is also at 50% and so on. The reason for this is I'm listening to music and use the touch bar or menu bar to change the volume, it only changes...

    I got my 13 Pro Max a few hours ago, I did the usual Sync with the cloud, all my apps, texts, emails etc. all populated normally. But I do have 2 issues... 1. None of my Apple Music has downloaded? It's all just there and streamable but not on my phone itself. 2. It says I have zero Photos and...

    iPhone not syncing music with Mac

    Since I've updated to iOS 15, I cannot sync music to my iPhone. I've added two songs to Apple Music on my Mac, and attempted to sync with my iPhone so I could play them on the iPhone. But the iPhone never imports the songs (.mp3) although they appear and play in Apple Music on my Mac. I...

    Apple Music Apple Music Free for 6 Months Offer with AirPods — Old Purchase

    I purchased my 2nd Gen AirPods just after release (March 2019 to be exact) and after updating to iOS 15, I am now being told that “Your AirPods come with 6 free months of Apple Music. Redeem now.” This seems strange to me since I bought my AirPods 2.5 years so ago, and am just now getting this...

    Apple Music Apple Music app on macOS - automatic sample rate switching

    Hi all There's been some postings deep inside some threads so I thought to start a dedicated thread about this. As many of us know, Apple Music app on macOS does not support automatic sample rate switching, the way the app does on iOS. You need to manually change sample rate with Audio MIDI...

    Apple Music I found a track with distortions on Apple Music (and iTunes Store)... thoughts?

    TL;DR: there is a track on Apple Music / iTunes Store which has distortions that aren't on the original CD, and despite me proving this to Apple, they are denying there is a problem. Please bear with me, this is going to be a long one, but I'd love to hear some other people's thoughts on this...

    Apple Music Apple Music Lossless iOS and iPadOS Issues

    Having been using Apple Music Lossless on a few of my devices since it was launched, I am persistently encountering weird issues during playback so wanted to see if others were too and what they'd tried to fix them. It seems the main issue is that many songs when playing get stuck after 15...
