Hi
Using a mac studio M4, latest macos.
Using a iphone 13 pro max, latest ios.
Using apple music app, no subscription, just my personal music library.
It is now a while that I can't sync my playcounts between my apple devices (iphone / ipad / mac studio).
After doing some research, I came several times on following solution.
Going to settings / General / sharing / turn on media sharing.
Done, I restart my mac, I check my settings, it is off again.
Apparently I can't turn it on, although it first shows it is on.
I asked chatGPT, about my main issue, that I can't sync my playcounts anymore.
The answer is:
"When you don’t have an Apple Music or iTunes Match subscription, your music only syncs via Finder (wired or Wi-Fi sync) — not via iCloud Music Library.
That means play counts, ratings, and “last played” dates don’t sync automatically between devices anymore — Apple moved that syncing feature to iCloud Music Library (which requires a subscription)."
Is this true, it simply doesn't work anymore ?
2 to 3 years ago, I took a subscription to music match, to make my syncing way easier. But syncing my playcounts didn't work either.
I talked about with mac helpcenter. They called back 2-3 times a week, to help me finding a solution / solving the bug. After a few months, nothing helped.
Is there any solution.
