Why does it take so long to add songs to playlists?

I love making playlists, so this really annoys me; whenever I add a song to a playlist it takes up to 30 seconds before it says the song was added. As an example, if I’m going through one playlist to make a party playlist I might be adding a bunch of tracks individually quickly. It’s hard to tell which has actually been added and which haven’t.

For reference I have super fast broadband, Ethernet backhaul and an iPhone 15 pro. So the device and infrastructure is as good as it gets.

Any suggestions or is this just an Apple Music thing?

Can't import songs on Apple Music, is there any solution?

I just bought the digital versions of the new Eminem album for the bonus tracks (yes, I bought both). This has been my first time trying to use external files on Apple Music for quite a while (might've been iTunes when I last did it, not totally sure). When I try to add the bonus tracks (which are MP3 files) by dragging and dropping or by clicking library and add file or add folder nothing happens. When I double click the file (and I confirmed it's set to Apple Music), again, nothing happens (opening the same file with VLC media player works). I tried this same thing with several music files (including ones I know I uploaded to my library back when it was iTunes), and again Apple Music won't do anything with them.

Is there any solution for this? And is it happening to other people? It's pretty frustrating to not be able to listen to anything besides what's on streaming.

Song artwork linked to album artwork

EDIT: Solved in 45 minutes I just copied the song name into the album field of the song info, putting each track into its own album, which removes influence of the other track art.

I'm adding a bunch of short music clips to my library that I'd like to all have difference pictures.

Each track is automatically grouped into the same unnamed album upon import and each song within is getting locked to whatever the album art is. Even when I delete the album art it just becomes the art of the first track I try to put a picture on. No matter how many times I individually set the song art it defaults to whatever I chose for the 1st track since its become the album art.

Is there a way to get the art for the individual songs to stay or to ungroup these tracks from the album in favor of a playlist?

profile keeps becoming private?

I’ve been using Apple Music since January and this hasn’t been an issue until this month. My profile used to be public, but I went to my profile at the beginning of this month and noticed it had become private, so I edited my profile to allow everyone to follow me. However, it keeps only staying public for a little while before becoming private again and I have to keep editing it. Does anyone know why this is happening or how to fix it?

My issues with the Apple Music library - Is there any chance of these being changed in a future update?

So recently, I switched to Apple Music from Spotify since it seemed like they fixed most of the issues that were bothering me. Since then, I also started making multiple playlists because I find it a more seamless experience. It’s more convenient for me to get into a new genre by selecting the songs that I like the most. However, for some reason, the songs that are on the playlists apparently don’t count as being in my library unless I save the whole album along with them. This is a shame because this behavior prevents me from using the “Your Library” option when searching for songs. The “Songs” menu within the library also only lists the songs that are in my albums. I know this is probably because Apple Music supposedly also serves as a library for purchased iTunes songs. But as a newer Apple user who grew up when music streaming was rising in popularity and buying music started to fade away, I find it kinda weird.

Music just stops with low cell signal but Spotify has no issues? Is there some sort of setting in Apple Music?

So I drive for work and whenever I pass through dead zones Apple Music just dies completely. Spotify on the other hand never has an issue with this even with playlists that aren’t downloaded. Am I missing a setting or something?

Songs are deleting from library on MacOS

For the last few months, the Music app on my MacBook has been randomly deleting certain songs. I'm usually unaware because I play songs through my library and thus don't notice one of my hundreds of songs leaving, but sometimes, when I try to find an old song, it's gone.

This is not an issue on my iPhone or on the web version of the app. For example, my Replay 2022 playlist only has 66 songs on my MacBook, as opposed to the 100 it has on my other devices. I've tried logging out, syncing, and resyncing, and nothing works.

Whenever I look up one of the deleted songs, it shows that it's still in my library (indicated by the lack of a plus icon), but when I click "Show Album in Library," it takes me to an odd Library page that looks like a playlist that doesn't contain the song. With the normal songs in my library, it takes me to the album when I click that button.

Does anybody else have this issue? How did you resolve it?

I have 85K songs/630 GB of local songs for years, what happens when I choose to sync with iTunes on Mac and iPhone?

I keep retaining locally downloaded files because although I have Apple Music on my iPhone and MacBook, I still feel more connected to the fact that I own what I own and that I’ll continue to have it if something happens.

However, streaming is obviously more convenient, but I’m running into an issue where I can’t favorite, playlist or even like certain albums anymore and it’s hindering my personal experience with Apple Music.

So I’m considering Syncing…however…my question is, what happens to my local files in the event that I leave Apple Music (unlikely but possible) or stop using subscribing? Do I still keep all of my local files after the Sync or do I lose all of them? And I’m taking rare remixes, demos, various unreleased versions etc…

Am I at risk of losing all of this if I choose to sync all of this content?

Techy Techy Help Please :)

I have a screen recording that I desperately want to add the audio of to my Library. I've tried everything my very tiny brain can think of. I've used two different audio recorders, got the internal audio, saved it as mp4, mp3, wav and aac but NONE will import. It will play on Samsung Music, VLC for Android and Windows Media Player, but Apple Music won't even acknowledge its existence. Can anybody help pleeeeease?!

I just switched to Apple Music a couple days ago. I want to download music to my iPhone or my Apple Watch. To do this inhale to turn on music synch. If I turn on music synch, will it remove all my personal music from my iPhone?

What factor dictate your '24 Replay Playlist?

Is it only songs you voluntarily searched/listened to as a recap?

Does it not take in affect listening to your "favorites" playlist songs every Tuesday?

Does it take in affect the songs that play on "your" station?

Does it factor in songs you tell Alexa to play via apple music/echo speakers?

Reason asking - I listen to ALOT of music daily, with a good mix or choosing an album to listen to or leaving on "my station", but my replay playlist rarely changes on Sundays

I just can't let go kind of a appreciation post

Guys, long time lurker here, i have been a 10 + years user of Spotify, and i have always had Spotify. I have a lot of gripes with Spotify, specially the way they go about as a company, the updates are never in my country and when they are everyone has them besides in my country, spotify DJ nop still not available, daylists nop still not available it´s kind of sad actually and i love that about apple when it´s a new update it´s for everyone. But i have to say Spotify still has the best desktop app fast reliable works great and of course the fantastic Spotify connect. Now, Spotify connect is the only thing that makes me really never unsubscribe from them. My Girlfriend uses Spotify always, had and does not intend of changing because we have a duo account and it works fine. Since I have discovered Apple Music, it's so good and I love the fact it has the best library i have ever had. It reminds me a lot of the winamp days. As a power user, i feel that the desktop app for windows for Apple Music is really bad compared to other peers on the same genre of software. Apple Music on iphones and androids are fantastic. And i think that Apple Music should really implement something like spotify connect. How do you guys deal with something like this? it's not that i can´t afford another subscription, but i just can´t fucking let go of Apple Music i love it and i love the lossless quality and the connection trough Apple Watch where there is no limit of downloads. There´s just alot of things that make apple music fantastic as a service and i love everything about it and no doubt that having an iphone changes everything. I know we can't have everything in an app, but i think that apple should give a little more attention to the Windows version of Apple Music.

Best way to convert songs to MP3 & download (songs & playlists) to USB?

Hi all,

I'm a long time Windows/iTunes user. My entire music library is in iTunes. I still have a regular need (or want, I guess) to save playlists and songs to USB drives. I put a USB in my wife's car, and I have an old hot rod with and updated radio that can play USB (but does not offer a phone connection).

My process for years has been to purchase the song in iTunes, convert the song to an MP3 in iTunes and then export the songs and playlist to USB via iTunes Export, a 3rd party software. It works, but can get buggy and crash and I often have to run it 2 or 3 times before it works.

Because I have Windows, I can still download and use iTunes so the above process is still viable. However, I'm a bit worried going forward that Apple will kill it and force me to Apple Music. I played around with Apple Music and was able to bring my entire library and playlists over, but I saw no way of converting songs or downloading playlists to USB.

I've found various other places to purchase music, but having a hard time finding info on actually downloading and saving to a USB. I don't want to wait until iTunes is gone before figuring something out. Thanks.

Does the “Add Playlist to Library” option apply retroactively?

Hello! I’m one of the many Spotify refugees who switched to Apple Music recently. As the title says, I was wondering if this is the case?

I want to migrate a couple of playlists from Spotify but I don’t want to add them to my library. If I turn it off for the meantime, transfer the playlists, and then turn this option on again - will the songs that I just added will be added to my library?
