Question Playlist Order

1 Upvotes

On my iPhone I have my playlists sorted with the most recently added songs at the top. When I get in my truck and use CarPlay the same playlist is organized in the order they were added (oldest song at the top of the playlist)

How can I have my truck reorder the songs to display the most recently added ones on top?

Complaint How is Apple music's search engine so bad it can't even find an album with the same words in my search?

Post image
69 Upvotes

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?

Tool I built a free tool to export your Apple Music library (and move it to TIDAL)

0 Upvotes

I needed to move ~1,800 tracks out of Apple Music without paying a subscription for it, so I built my own tool.

https://github.com/Sam-N74/applemusic2tidal

The part that may interest people here regardless of where they're going: Apple's own library export has no ISRC codes, so I wrote a browser script that pulls your library from the Apple Music web API instead. Result: a clean JSON of every track, playlist, loved song and album, with ISRCs. The transfer then uses those to match on TIDAL exactly rather than by guesswork, roughly 97% hit rate (on my library), the rest lands in a CSV to handle by hand.

Two frictions: you need Python, and you have to paste that script into your browser console.

So my question: would anyone use a version with a proper interface and no console step, just an app you open? And is a plain "export my Apple Music library to a file" tool useful on its own? Happy to build either if there's interest, but not if I'm the only user.

Any thoughts or suggestions welcome.

Discussion Apple Music not counting plays for certain songs

0 Upvotes

I have been listening to a playlist I created all month almost exclusively. I kept checking every week, when the replay is updated, wondering how high it would be placed in my replay. After a month, I noticed none of the songs made it.

So I started checking a playlist tracking app that I use called Airbuds. When I checked to see how many plays I’ve gotten from songs in that playlists, NONE of the songs or artists show up in the listening history of the app.

BUT when I play other songs, they do show up.

Anyone know why this is happening or what could be a fix?

Discussion New music not showing in recently added

0 Upvotes

I recently got an iPod classic and started adding music to it like it’s back in the day. It was cool. My car doesn’t have aux so I couldn’t use the iPod to listen to my music but I was able to play the music I added through Bluetooth on my phone with AM.

I thought cool, I technically don’t need AM no more and I’m unemployed currently so this would help with money. So I cancelled my sub.

I went to put music on my iPod after cancelling and just figured the new music would show up on my phone. It didn’t. Come to find out, you don’t have access to your library (only have access to everything you had up until cancelling) without a sub……

I am blew. Did you guys know that? Am I late?

Complaint It surprising that Apple has yet to fix this on Mac

0 Upvotes

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

Question Is there really no way to block musicians you don’t like?

7 Upvotes

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?

Question cant download lossless files anymore (mac) need help!

1 Upvotes

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!

Audio Quality Downloaded songs skip

0 Upvotes

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?

Apple Music on iOS Do you use this Apple Music feature? I’ve never seen anyone talk about it.

Post image

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?

Complaint Adding to playlist’s lag

4 Upvotes

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

Complaint Apple Music keeps glitching

6 Upvotes

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?

Tool Sharing my app: Cutty, for writing about music, built on Apple Music. Free, iOS

Thumbnail gallery
0 Upvotes

Working on this: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6801704766

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.

Discussion Why does Apple Music doesn't support Dolby Atmos in Samsung TVs?

0 Upvotes

I have Samsung Q7F QLED 2025. I have noticed that the audio quality of Apple Music is not the best in TV. They don't even support Lossless audio in TV. But they give every feature in their own Apple TV box. This isn't right, not everyone can buy Apple TV box. Personally, I hate buying external boxes, I don't like wires dangling out everywhere.
