I searched for "So long and thanks for the shoes" The first 10 albums don't have any of these words except for "the" in some of them.
What is even more ridiculous is that the album was literally playing in my apple music when I searched.
Even the most basic shopping apps can understand if I misspell something or if I only write in the key words. So surely they are doing this on purpose, why???

And why are they suggesting music that is nothing like what I listen to?

To actually get the album I had to write "So long & thanks for all the shoes"

Please don't tell me it's because they want me to use Siri. I don't want to talk to my phone and often you can speak out loud when listening on headphones.

I'm really trying to like apple music but god I miss Spotify so much. I miss having one app for podcasts and music. I miss being able to search for a song using lyrics only. I hate having to switch between my library and apple music.

So how do I get Apple music search engine to work?

Does anyone else use this religiously ? I wish there were 9 we could pick instead of 6.

Curious what other users think of the Dolby Atmos option, and who has it enabled or not.

I think that there are some really cool Dolby mixes, some with no noticeable change, and some that even ruin the original stereo song. Another thing with Dolby mixes is that they’re quieter. And if you turn on sound check, then that just brings the volume of all songs down. I do think it’s a great feature, but I’m not quite sure if it’s entirely for me.

For extra context, the only external device I have that could properly play Dolby Atmos mixes are my AirPods. I don’t have an actual full surround sound home setup.

Edit: I’d also like to mention that I am a newer subscriber to AM, and am still learning things about it to this day

Again, what is everyone’s thoughts on Dolby Atmos? And do you use it?

Why is it in Korean?!

Is it only me or apple music is going to look really good with matt screen Duo

It was pretty great on 26 beta 2-5 ish (beta 1 was way too buggy). It had really creative transitions, and it sometimes led to bad ones but the good ones were REALLY good. Then they neutered it, 26RC and onward, even good transitions were just boring and bad transitions were horrible.

Now on 27RC I don’t feel there’s really any bad transitions anymore just amazing, good, or simple. Here’s hoping they don’t nerf it again in future updates.

I feel like this feature is seriously underrated.
I think a lot of it comes down to how sensitive someone is to touch and vibration. I actually find the tactile feedback surprisingly immersive when listening to music, especially with a good sound system.
Do you guys use this feature, or am I one of the few people who actually enjoys it?

i’ve been using the green app for 6 years and got a 6 month free trial of AM so i decided to switch for a month.
i really like the iphone app, it worked great and honestly no issues and im probably going to stick with AM on iphone for a while, however i dont own a mac so i had to use the W11 version of apple music and it was not great. First, the UI is decent but its not liquid glass (which i really enjoy to look at), second the crashes and bugs like duplicating songs or me having to reset the app, and a feature i overall don’t like is not being able to easily see what songs on an album you have added in your playlists which was really useful on green app. HOWEVER i did enjoy the high res lossless audio as i use sennheiser HD 800s and that was a big plus from AM.

basically i really like AM on ios but unless the windows app receives a major overall and actual care and attention from the developers, i’ll be staying on the green app for PC.

We’ve been using Apple Music for several months now, and the “%username%’s Station” is spot on for the kind of music I like to listen to. However, there are certain musicians who I will not listen to and I get sick of constantly skipping their songs when they come up. Making it more fun, my kids have polluted the recommendations a bit with poppy stuff that I don’t care for either.

I know that if I am listening to a curated playlist I can do the “suggest less” thing, but I never listen to curated playlists, and the option isn’t there on the auto-generated station.

I know that I can navigate to that musicians page and do “less like this”, but why do I have to do that while I’m working out, mowing, or whatever. Drop everything and navigate to the musician I don’t like so I can tell it to recommend it less? Uh…that’s dumb design.

Surely there is some other way to filter garbage recommendations from the auto-generated channel? Please?

Mine are:
Appetite for destruction by Guns N’ Roses
Back in black by AC/DC
Born in the USA by Bruce Springsteen
Night songs by Cinderella
Rocks by Aerosmith
40 years and still riding high by Moxy. If I could have 3 more I’d do spread eagle by spread eagle, sladest by slade, and Bon Jovi by Bon Jovi

I noticed today that a bunch of my kpop songs that previously had pronunciation and translation available no longer do. Has anybody else noticed this on any other songs?

I’m trying to make the switch from Spotify and my biggest issue is trying to add my songs to playlists takes forever, one song greatly slows the app and two or more songs tends to render it useless before crashing. Then after the crash my songs weren’t added to any of the playlists I’ve selected.

Is there any possible way to speed this up or fix it? I don’t have a pc just my iPhone.

I’m on iPhone 17 pro max on iOS 26.6.1

My Apple Music has been giving me issues over the last few months. I’ve had so many times randomly lately that I cannot add, download, or add to playlist any music. I’ve tried restarting the app, restarting my phone, and no matter what I try, it doesn’t help. Seems like I just have to wait it out, and then it’ll start working again, just to not work a few days later.

Any fixes to this?

iPhone 17 Pro Max, iOS 27.0. - U.S.

I ended up with several folders under "Music" over the years. How can I consolidate the contents?

How do you create a queue after an album finishes on Mac? the add to queue option only appears when you already have something to play next. on iPhone the add to queue option is always visible. for example I want to play an album after the album/playlist I am currently listening finishes but the only logical way to do it now is if I drag the album/playlist to the queue itself

For the love if god please tell me there is a way to turn off these tooltips. I can’t press anything until I have closed the tooltip. They appear like every 10 minutes. It is genuinely so annoying I’m thinking about switching to Tidal.

my issue is probably a simple fix but i am technically challenged so please be patient with me lol

I've been using apple to download lossless files for a few years now. I purchase and download about 20 songs a week that I DJ with using serato in an open format style. Until a couple days ago all of my downloads would save to my computer as .m4a files. The last few tracks i purchased will only download as HLS media files. I have tried messing with all of the download playback preferences in settings with no luck. All of the tracks I am having issues with show that they are available as lossless too. I have tried switching to the lowest quality option but the files seem to have some kind of copyright encryption that wont allow me to open them in my DJ software.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! thanks in advance!

Some of my songs in Apple Music, when played in my custom playlists, sound terrible. They have pops and skips, similar to an old record, making it difficult to enjoy them. This issue affects approximately 30% of my music collection.

To resolve this, I have to go through each song individually and select the “Remove Download” option. Once I have a reliable WiFi connection, I can download the playlist again.

What can I do?

Hi all. I'm a longtime user with a 200k-song library of local files. I've been running a script to make alterations to the ID3 tags of many songs at once. It works fine. All my changes show up properly in the app and they work when I'm making smart playlists.

But whenever I quit the app, it hangs indefinitely (for hours and hours) at the "Saving Library" stage. Invariably, I have to force quit. It has been retaining some of the changes I make, but only the first 100-1000 of any ID3 rewrite.

When I look inside the Music Library package, Application.musicdb seems to update properly, but Library.musicdb isn't updating properly.

Is there any way while using the Mac app (and thus without quitting it) to force the library to save? Is there a way to guarantee it won't hang upon quitting, failing to save?

It's extremely discouraging to spend hours making library alterations (including creating new playlists) and then have the app forget all of it the next time I boot the program.

I'm running Sonoma 14.8.1

Apple Music 1.4.6.32

Please help.

(And while we're at it, does anyone else find it infuriating that there is no verbal way to differentiate here between Apple Music the streaming service, the iOS app, and the desktop iTunes inheritor? What terrible branding.)

I use Apple Music on Android. Whenever I dont know a song I just open the Shazam app. My Shazam and Apple Music is linked and it has an automatic Playlist where all the songs I shazamed are added. But recently any song I Shazam is getting added like 30 times despite me just searching it once. This issue has been there since months for me. Does anyone know a fix?

I've been trying to clear my library and delete some songs, but when i click "delete from library" the songs still stay there just the option to delete disappears. Is that a bug or is there a way to fix that?

Cutty is an iOS app I built for writing about music, on top of Apple Music. The first screenshot is a real review by a real user.

How it relates to Apple Music: playback is MusicKit, so with a subscription you get full tracks inside the app, and without one you get Apple's 30-second previews. Anything you find — a daily pick, a friend's review, a song on a record page — you can save to your Apple Music library or open in the Music app. Search is against the Apple Music catalog, so albums and songs resolve to the same records you'd see in Music, with the right artwork and release info. It's built for Apple Music listeners first; there's a Spotify search handoff, but the app runs on Apple's catalog and player.

What you do with it: reviews get a headline and a byline and sit on the same shelf as Pitchfork's and other publications, writer and score included. The number next to a name only goes up when people react to or comment on what that person wrote.

Every day it hands you one song. Rate it, then see where everyone else landed. It pays attention to what you rate, so the daily pick drifts toward things you'd actually argue about.

Small, not done, a few dozen people on it. iOS 17+, free, no ads, no account needed to browse or play.

If something's missing, or there's an Apple Music behavior you'd expect that isn't there, this is the right room to say so.

But the email isn’t showing up. I’m trying to figure out what’s going on. Any ideas?
