I've used Apple Music for years but the way Replay functions always seems to change, so apologies if it's a stupid question. But as today is the 1st of December, I would assume the November replay would be available, but it still says it's "on the way". Is this the case for everyone here right now? Does it usually take a couple days, or has something gone wrong with my music tracking?

I had zero issues with this until the most recent iOS update. Back to spotty?

I’m actually freaking out, I opened my Apple Music app and all of playlists are empty, there’s not a single song in my library and I don’t know why or how to fix it. Can anyone help?

i’m not friends with some girls anymore but we still have the exact same music taste and i’m too lazy to make a playlist but i don’t wanna be exposed... someone answer pls

Anybody having the same issue?

When i try to play an album or the first rack, it won't play anything. If I select the second song, it might play.

Even stations won't play. My station, or any band-specific station won't even start up.

I haven't tested on iOS; my issue has been on the MacOS version.

Has anyone bumped into this? Basically if I add an album, navigate away from the page and comes back, the "Add" button is still there as if I hadn't added the album to my library.

Whenever I try to play a song downloaded on my Mac, it just shuffles through a bunch of songs within a second and plays some other song instead. It only happens with downloaded songs. How do I fix this?

I have been an Apple kid my entire life. So of course the transition from iTunes to Apple Music made sense. Never ONCE have I had reoccurring issues with AppleMusic, but lately its been super annoying. At least 4x a week, I will be playing music (usually through a playlist I created) and out of nowhere it’ll just pause itself. When I go to play it, it just stops responding completely and doesnt follow any my commands. Of course I exit out the app and go back in, its still stuck on that song and wont let me play it. Seconds later it will jump me back 2 songs Ive already listened to and then start playing. Before I switch over to Spotify because I’m not paying $11/month for a wacked out platform… anyone have this issue?/find a fix??

OK, I uploaded an album of mp3 files to the Apple Music for Windows app on my PC. Note that this is not a commercially available album so it's not in the overall Apple Music database.

On the album, I did the following:

• click the three dots
• click Properties
• go to Artwork tab
• click Add Artwork
• select file and click Open (note that it is a jpg file)
• Artwork displays correctly at this point
• click OK

After clicking OK, nothing happens. The album artwork does not show in my Libary, it's just the generic "note" icon.

If anyone has any suggestions, I would appreciate it.

I’ve been waiting to get on iOS 18 because of all the glitches I’ve heard people get in the app. Just wanted to know if anyone has the update and it fixes all those problems

Currently in international waters so not using cellular, but am connected to ship wifi, but none of my music is playing. I have every song downloaded, but music still won’t play. It will either try to play but the song won’t work, or the song will be stuck on the pause button and won’t play no matter how many times I click it. I’ve tried restarting my phone multiple times and going on and off airplane mode but nothing will work. Any suggestions?

TLDR: Apple pulled previously aired episodes for all radio shows in September 2024. You can now only listen live. There is almost no conversation about this on Reddit, Twitter, IG, etc. Maybe no one is listening to these shows and Apple knows this? Do you listen?

The TL part:

There have been a handful of complaints recently about radio show episodes no longer being archived after they air. You can now only listen to the shows live. When you look at a show page in the app now, all you get is the interviews they have done with artists and not the full episodes. It seems strange to alienate your audience to only that small group of subscribers who happen to be awake and available to listen when a show airs live.

Doing some searching on this topic after the most recent post, it appears Apple removed all episodes of ALT CRTL and Rock Classics Radio with Jenn in 2021, then I don't see any mention of it again until earlier this year when people start asking about Matt Wilkinson and a few others.

I remember that all of the Radio shows were added to the Podcasts app back in September 2023, so I checked to see if old episodes had been moved there. You can still get old episodes from September 2024 and earlier in the Podcasts app which is the same time frame when Apple pulled them from the Music app, but everything from September 2024 to present is just interviews, same as in the Music app.

Wondering it it's some type of licensing issue, I did a couple more searches to see if any of these radio hosts were syndicated anywhere else or were moving to other platforms and all I found were articles from before they moved to Apple Music.

I checked on Twitter to see if people were talking about it. I found a few people complaining but not many. There is no mention of it on any of the hosts' accounts. I checked Matt Wilkinson's profile on Instagram and there are no comments asking about it on any recent posts. It doesn't look like that account interacts with commenters anyway.

There are a few questions about it in this sub, but they never seem to have more than a few comments. Maybe no one cares because they don't listen to these shows? Do you listen? Would you care if Apple removed the Radio tab? Some of the artists on my favorite albums of 2024 list were ones I heard for the first time on Apple Music radio shows. I'd hate to see them all get canceled.

In the last weeks I tried multiple times to login and see my past replays of the year but every time it says that replay needs an active subscription to Apple Music but the thing is that I have one... what's going on? Does anyone know?

Hi guys, yesterday night suddenly my apple music was stop playing with 3.5mm jack...I don't know why this happened.. Is there anyone facing the same issue? Other apps are working properly with the 3.5mm jack, only problem with apple music.

I use AirPods Pro 2 and Apple Music. Would I feel a difference in sound quality if I use Spotify? I read somewhere that the lossless format only makes sense if you use special wired headphones.

I am asking because I don't want to create a Windows account for nothing. When I still used iTunes, I liked the possibility to add my own music from CDs and I liked that one could change music information like the year of release. Is this a thing with the Apple Music App?

The tile says it all. The show taught me so much about music from London. I loved it. His show also kept me up to speed on what was popular in music today. If Matt's gone then I'm not wasting my money.

Before they added the queue feature I could just add a song to the playing next and move it around wherever I wanted it but now unless I add more songs to the queue it’s stuck at the top playing next. Honestly it’s really frustrating and I was wondering if anyone had a solution to this because I can’t seem to find one

In both the MiniPlayer and fullscreen, my song titles often will not show. Any ideas on how to fix this?

I'm on a 2022 M2 MacBook Air and am using Sequoia 15.1.1

I normally use Spotify but my AirPods came with 3 months of free Apple Music, but it's been causing me mo much of a headache that I might just cancel the free trial and go back to paying for Spotify premium

Just trying to transfer my playlists over was a pain itself since no streaming service offers a way to import or export playlists between each other, so I had to use a 3rd party which kept mismatching my songs to the point where I just gave up and manually added every single song by hand into Apple Music

And even adding songs caused me a headache, since on the iOS app if your song title is too long it won't show if it's the explicit version or not, so half the time I'm adding the clean version of my song when I wanted the explicit version, and vice versa

And even the playlist format on apple music are screwed up, there's a favourites playlist that you can't remove, and when you add songs into it, it adds the album it's a part of into your library which doesn't go away unless you remove it from your playlist

And Apple Music can't even get removing songs right, when I remove songs from one playlist, it removes it across every playlist I have, so I have to manually add every song back if I remove a song from any playlist

And not even the playback of songs is annoyance-free, where if I have a song not on Apple Music that I want to listen to, unlike on spotify where you just download it onto every device you have, Apple decided to drop the bullshit named Library Syncing, where half the time my songs either don't add onto the device I added it on, add onto the device multiple times, or don't sync to any of my other devices

The Apple Music platform is bug-ridden as well, half the time songs I've downloaded don't show up as downloaded when I search, for example, the album it's a part of, and vice versa, and the apple music app, especially on Windows, is so unstable I've had to reinstall it 4 times from the Microsoft store because the application just decides it doesn't want to open anymore

And just to top it all off, the UI is a complete fucking mess, the 3rd party compatibility is garbage because of Apple's walled garden, and no one gives a shit about Apple Music replay

Hey, I recently signed up for Apple Music, but I'm already starting to issues. I'm able to play music that I've already added to my library (whether downloaded or streamed), I can use Apple music in my web browser and on my iPhone perfectly, but I cannon view the "For You" or "Search" section on my iTunes, so I can't look up new music. It works perfectly on other devices/apps though. My library is also still synced with iCloud, so I'm still able to connect to my account. I've logged in/out several times, restarted my computer, etc. but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions?

So after much waiting for Spotify to drop lossless quality audio I'm done and made the switch to Apple Music. I'm loving it so far, I'm able to find everything I had in Spotify and loving lossless audio quality. The only issue I have is that I love the Spotify curated playlists, find them better than the ones in apple music. I've been able to find a great app called Playlisty but this one is iOS exclusive and can't find anything remotely good as Playlisty yet. Does someone know of any good alternatives for Android or PC?
