Apple Music is a streaming service that allows you to listen to over 100 million songs. Its features include the ability to download your favorite tracks and play them offline, lyrics in real time, listening across all your favorite devices, new music personalized just for you, curated playlists from our editors, and much more. All this in addition to exclusive and original content.
Classical music has a fundamentally different metadata structure from that of genres like pop, hip-hop, and country. As a result, it requires a unique approach to search, browse, library, and recommendations features. In addition, presenting the data about each album requires completely different formats. Classical listeners also have specific interests, such as composer bios and descriptions of works.
Already a classical music enthusiast and Apple Music subscriber? All the classical music in your Apple Music library will automatically appear in the Favorites tab of Apple Music Classical, ready for you to enjoy.
Yes, both apps will offer the largest classical catalog in the world. However, Apple Music Classical will include multiple additional features, such as classical browse, a search engine designed for classical music, handpicked recommendations, composer and artist bios, and descriptions of the works.
No, Apple Music Classical is classical only, but it does include lots of film and other crossover genres with classical music. Apple Music Classical users can also listen to more than 100 million songs on Apple Music through their subscription.
So: on the Mac, I made a new library. Oddly it showed the strange U2 album that Apple put into everybody's library around 2005. After I bought the new album, that also appeared. I removed the U2 album and put in one older album that I bought from Itunes years ago. I then moved all the other music to another hard drive and deleted it from the Mac, so they cannot be part of the problem.
The one thing that is strange is that when I plug in the phone to the computer, the music app on the computer shows the phone in the main window and also a long list of songs. I don't know where that list is coming from. It should not be either on the phone or the computer. I have taken all the songs off the computer and repeatedly deleted and re-downloaded the app on the phone
I tried you advice. Unfortunately, now things are worse. There is now no music at all on my Iphone and it style refuses to sync. There seems to be no way to delete/reinstall the music app on my computer, so I don't know what more I can do on my end. I still think this is a problem with one of the Mac updates. After over twenty years of using Macs, when something like this happened it was always an update issue that was quietly fixed in another update.
Well, I went for the last option and did a complete restore of the iphone. And it's now working! It's syncing music as it should. So there was something that got messed up with the storage on the iphone.
At first I was trying to resolve the issue of Apple creating duplicates of music on my iPhone 11. I did exactly what you wrote above, based on the recommendation of a computer savvy friend [40 years working with computers as a design engineer who has his own 200T servers and more], and the result was no music at all, then a few of my songs and not limited to what I had before or what I selected from among the albums and items in my 7k songs on my 2021 Macbook Pro. Synch'g to the Apple iCloud has been the worst experience I have ever had pertaining to computer devices! It has resulted in Apple music scrambling albums and songs data, entering or replacing album art work with incorrect art work. It even posted an incorrect commercial album cover on an album I personally created over 25 years ago when my daughter was preparing for college entrance auditions as a classical piano student... she's a music professor now. I recorded those piano performances myself using a tape recorder and a few years ago converted the magnetic analog recording from an Akai recorder to a digital one using Audacity, a mixer, and an analog to digital conversion device.
Just updated my iPhone to the latest iOS (13.2.2), and synced my music as well (1,000 songs). Went to the Music app on my iPhone to check that everything was fine... and most of my songs have been grayed out, with the message "This song is not currently available in your country or region" when I try to play them. This happens when I am both signed in and out of the iTunes Store on the iPhone.
Is there a fix for this? Is Apple REALLY trying to prevent me from accessing my own music on my own device in favor of their streaming service that I don't want to buy into? I am really, really unhappy with this right now, as that appears to be the case.
Let's make sure Autoplay is turned off by following the actions under the "Let Autoplay pick what plays next" section here: Add music to your queue to play next on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Android device
I'm sorry but that is neither helpful, useful nor applicable. This has been an issue for YEARS, over multiple phones, multiple iOSes, and with multiple apps. I keep my software up to date and even was a beta tester for Apple for iOS for several years. This is a bug or (shiver) a programmed response within the iOS that has been a continuous problem. Outside sources have been able to resolve it by deleting the music app, which I am about to that point. I was hoping that my favorite manufacturer since 1986 would have a better response than, "update and restart" when that hasn't fixed it for years.
So when I play music on my iPhone, I later attach it to my Mac for charing and syncing. However, if I play 10 songs on a given day, it does not update the number of plays or the date and time the song was last played. Is there something I need to do on my phone, my Mac, or both so that the number of plays and last played both get updated after every period I play songs on my iPhone.
Just updated to iOS 17.2. I am still having this problem. I run and listen to music on my iPhone and/or watch, but in November it stopped updating my mac with play counts and dates. My iPhone and watch does pass along star ratings, and I can add/remove songs to playlists, but it still does not update my mac play counts and dates. Frustrating.
If I add a song or favorite a song (or playlist) on my iPhone, it doesn't update on my other Apple products like my Apple Tv's or iPads. I spent hours the other week favouriting music on my iPad only to find out it didn't synchronize across all devices. I had this issue with 17.1, so I updated to 17.2 (on all my devices). Then I added a bunch of songs on my Iphone, wanted to show my wife the new music on my Apple TV, only to see my music was last updated days ago.
I've got playlists on my iMac which update according to play count. For example, I'm currently on one called 'Under 3,' a list that has all the songs with play counts of 2 or less. It's so I go through all my music.
At the moment, itunes music doesn't seem to recognise that I'm using it on multiple devices. In the past, if I tried to play music on my iphone (for instance) while music was already playing on another device, I would get a warning message and music would stop playing on one of the devices.
However, this morning I tried playing music simultaneously on four devices (iMac, iphone, ipod touch and apple music on a PC) and had no messages and music kept playing on all devices at the same time.
Furthermore, If I add a new album on one of my devices (all four), it appears on all my devices (all four), so apple ID is presumably fine. And if I manually update the music library on my Mac or PC (file/library/update icloud music library) the libraries update properly on my phone and ipod (and MAC/PC).
It just seems to be the play counts that don't update properly to icloud from my iphone or ipod. Up to installing iOS 17, the play counts updated automatically at least once a day, usually after the first play on iphone/ipod. So far, neither the plays from iphone or ipod have synced for two days.
I'm seeing the same problem, as well as an issue where the phone orientation will occasionally cause only part of the widgit to be visible. Killing the app that was playing music (or video) has no impact on this.
Hard reset seems to be the only thing that works, but then it comes back. I am to the fu**ing boiling point now with this effing bug. Please Apple, fix it. I don't want to have to restart my GD phone 5 times a day because the music widget is on the lock screen.
Update: I reset my phone and went to a meeting. When I came out, the music player was on my lock screen. No bluetooth, no media was played. It just appeared. My next step is to delete the music app and reinstall it. But I think I'll lose all my playlists. ?
When you ask to hear a song, Google Assistant will automatically start a playlist of similar music. To request and hear the exact song you want, link a premium account for a listening service, like YouTube Music.
