Download Youtube Music Windows 10
Christian Erdmann
Apple Music for Windows using the latest Itunes version (but it's always been like this) is so slow to load pages under the Browse section. Why is this? Do Windows users get lower priority access to the Apple servers? My PC runs everything else perfectly fine so I know it's not my computer.
Highly doubtful, w a 3080ti and a r9 7950x3d im able to run over 10 applications and windows just fine at 2k resolution. Pulling 400+ frames in game, Doubt it would be a stress overload on the cpu when its usage is not even reaching 10%.
I have re installed multiple times and still have the same issue. It constantly freezes and i need to restart the app for it to function again. Not to mention i cannot switch the output while on the application i would have to restart, the little things matter.

If I subscribe to Apple Music or iTunes Match, I can use iTunes to import the contents of a physical CD to my iTunes library, whence I can sync it to all my devices. Having downloaded the new Apple Music app on my windows computer, I cannot see how to import a CD. Do I have to keep iTunes on my computer solely for this purpose?
For years I've been using iTunes downloaded from apple.com (not the windows app) to manage my music and apple devices on various PCs. From reading the new Apple Music for Windows guide, it doesn't look like there is any ability to rip CDs into your music library like iTunes could. It also looks like when you install Apple Music/TV/Devices, you can no longer use iTunes for your music library.
In theory if you're running Win 10 or 11, you should be able to rip a CD using the newer updated Windows Media Player (replaced Groove). Then use the new Apple Music app to import the ripped files into your music library, and then the Devices app to transfer to your Apple device. But I wouldn't recommend being the guinea pig.
For now I'm sticking with iTunes 12.13.1.3. But I'm concerned that we'll eventually be forced to use the Apple Devices app to stay current and manage our iphones and ipods which will then require the music/tv apps and shut out iTunes ... meaning no way to rip our physical media libraries.
It took a while for me to figure this out, but even when Apple Music and Apple Devices are installed (which means that iTunes is crippled to only display audiobooks and podcasts), CDs can still be ripped in iTunes.
Open iTunes, put a CD in your CD drive, iTunes will prompt you to rip it (say yes) and wait until it's done. Once it's all done, go into "Recently Added" and you'll see everything you just ripped, but under "Audiobooks". Select everything and then drag-and-drop into Apple Music. That will then copy everything to the music folder in Apple Music (i.e. you old iTunes media folder). Then delete what you just ripped in the "Audiobook" folder.
Yes and no. In their infinite wisdom Apple have hobbled iTunes while Apple Music is installed. Remove the Apple Music for Windows Preview app and use iTunes as intended. The replacement really isn't ready yet.
LASpooner, thank you for taking that time to call and find that out. I've been fearing that this will be a permanent feature (or lack there of) not allowing us to import via CD. Hopefully that person was telling the truth.
Update: By default, the iTunes folder is C:\Users\name\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media whereas the default Apple Music folder is C:\Users\name\Music\Apple Music\Media, so need to make sure you're using the same folder so everything will sync properly.
Go to C:\Users\yourname\Music. Once there, you'll see two folders: "AppleMusic" and "iTunes". For Apple Music, the music library is in a subfolder called "Media\Music", and for iTunes, the music library is under "iTunes Media\Music".
Finally a call to Support again and an hour and a half of screen sharing later the lovely Support person found a box to check in Devices, "Sync Music with My Phone's Name". Which is not among an offer to sync any other device.
Since the new Apple Music App on the Microsoft Windows Store launched, I installed it on my default C: drive on my Windows 10 PC, and when I logged in with my Apple ID nothing in the app would load, and it would not install any of my purchased music, not could I stream any of them. Searching for music would give results, though clicking on songs or albums would not load them.
I use a wired ethernet connection with download speeds that can stream on other services without issue. I've tried a WiFi connection and the issue persisted. I tried repairing the application and resetting it in Windows settings, nothing changed. I changed the drive that it would install to (my G: drive) and the issue remained. Restarting my PC while logged out or logged in had no effect. I also tried re-authorizing my PC as well as de-authorizing but this did not change anything.
I installed the same app on my Windows 10 laptop on the same Apple account and it loaded everything just fine, and music streamed with no issues. I'd like to have it installed on my main PC though since that's where I listen to most of my music.
I found a fix, for me at least. I sat on the phone with support for about an hour. We tried one final thing that ended with me figuring out the problem. They asked me to create a new user account and try there. It worked. That lead me to think about file pathing. In the past I had changed my default Music and Video file paths and that seemed to be the only difference between the new account and my main. Sure enough, I set the Music and Video file paths to default and this fixed the issue. It seems like the Apple apps want default library paths to setup their own libraries. If they are different it just does nothing.
I am also having this problem. Really frustrating. I was super excited that Apple FINALLY released Windows apps. I have mostly Apple products except for a Mac because I game. Deleted iTunes and picked up the Apple Music and AppleTV app... Neither work.
I'm a Mac/iPhone user when it comes to personal equipment, but have a work's laptop that runs Windows, which I've installed Apple Music on to. When I work from home on my work's Windows Laptop, I've found Apple Music is really hit and miss, with the same problem as you (i.e. no content loading).
What I've discovered is that if I use my work's laptop without a VPN to the office, because my profile is held on the company network and not my laptop, Apple Music simply doesn't work. If I close Apple Music and connect to the office VPN, then re-start Apple Music, the app then works as it can now see the data it needs.
As a software developer on the Microsoft platform, Apple should not use the default "Music" folder for storage, as they aren't actually storing playable media files (e.g. mp3, etc.) in the Music folder, they are storing configuration data for the app in the Music folder, which is not right. Configration data and cached DRM protected copies of music that are not playable in any music player should be stored in an App specific folder, i.e. %LOCALAPPDATA%\AppleMusic\...
I used to have Music in Windows set to D:\Music but then the drive was gone and the link was broken in Explorer. Fixing that link fixed Apple Music loading. For some reason if it can't understand the default Windows Music folder it can't do anything else.
I had this problem as well so what I did to fix it was delete all the music I had placed into the default windows music folder. So the "This PC/Music" had a bunch of albums in it from ages ago and for some reason the app couldn't install all the other required files in there but this was solved when I wiped the folder and restarted my computer it installed all the secondary files and it worked perfectly.
This just happened to me. The update forced itself onto my iphone and window laptop. My spouse still has the gold app on an iphone. We have no access to our local music library anymore, on any device. I get the error 913 when I try to add it back. How do I fix it?? Playing our local music files is the only reason we have the Sonos speakers. They are useless now.
