    How to play music without Apple Music subscription?

    I have a huge iTunes library as I ripped all my CDs and vinyl years ago. I have a still-functioning iPod Touch that I take on long car trips. But I can’t figure out how to migrate my existing iTunes library into a replacement app, now that iTunes is long gone. For a while I used Apple Music...

    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...

    HomePod HomePod Mini As Jukebox

    Our HomePod mini sits atop what looks like a large diameter Pringles container. The container itself serves as a piggy bank for my wife's excess coins. Now and then she throws a handful of coins into the container. This sometimes and hilariously causes Siri to play random music on the HomePod...

    Why do we still have an iTunes app?

    Why do we still have an iTunes app on iOS and iPadOS when most of it doesn’t work? We have tabs for movies and tv shows, but these just tell us to go to the TV app. The music tab has lots of ads for Apple Music. Tones are still available to buy (does anyone buy these?!) and they’re squirrelled...

    Apple Music What annoys me about Apple Music

    Somehow I have loads of duplicates within my saved The 1975 album (deluxe) and I’m really not sure how. The linked albums below are also confusing. They’re both explicit versions, but from two separate labels 😒. Why do we need two versions (3 if you include my mess of an album)? Now I’m...

    Retroactive iTunes install on Ventura on an Intel Mac?

    I’m using iTunes (installed via retroactive) and am running Monterey on my iMac.
