Love this, but one thing!

Apple Music is great! I had a problem and I posted a review about it and it was fixed very quickly. But there is one other thing I’ve been noticing; so, I have restrictions on my phone and it makes it so I can’t listen to songs labeled as explicit on the app, but there are some songs with curse words that I can listen to and others with just one curse word that I can’t, because they’re labeled as explicit. There’s also non explicit versions of some songs that originally had curse words in it where in the clean version it has the word replaced or muted. There are a lot of songs that I love but can’t listen to on Apple Music because of my restrictions, so I think there should be either a clean version of every explicit song or at least not label it as explicit if it has only one or two curse words in it. This would be very helpful, tysm! And thank you also for fixing my previous problem!

Why There Need to be a Resume Shuffle Button:

Shuffle mode does not shuffle. I have over 500 songs on one of my playlists—which I have been listening to for years—but the same twenty songs are repeated every time I shuffle. Why are many of my songs not being played at all? There’s a reason why I add each song to my playlist: I like them all! Is there an algorithm that causes this? If so, I have attempted to counteract it by clearing all histories. Also, none of the songs are on repeat mode, so this is not the problem. I am not sure what more to do; this is very frustrating, and I have talked to other users who share the same issue. Could there be an option to where every song must play, no matter how many times I shuffle, before being repeated? This may sound dumb because one would assume that I should merely stop pressing the Shuffle button and resume the last song played, but in order to access other Apple Music appliances and play other playlists, this is not plausible. Therefore, there should be a new button: Resume Shuffle!! This in addition to the already Shuffle button (so users can still mix things up), will create a much more enjoyable experience on Apple Music!! I am certain that other users will agree with me.

Less User Friendly

Latest update has taken a fine app and simply made it less user friendly. Among other issues, the main two problems are the complete loss of the scrubbing ability and the ‘previously played’ and ‘up next’ features of the app. The ability to scrub through songs has just been removed, replaced only with a volume slide bar which is about as unnecessary as it gets, I’d prefer a return to the old format here. For the playlist feature, when you press the song being played and the previously played and up next songs pop up, the top of that screen is too close the activation area for opening the notifications slide down page. The result is that whenever I’m attempting to close the playlist page by sliding it down, I open my notifications page - simply less user friendly. Please restore these features to their older formats and have a few more trial testers before releasing this sort of failed update. Additionally, when I click the suggest less songs like this, the button should simultaneously function as a skip song button. Why would I ask the system to suggest less songs like that and continue listening to the song? Pandora had this figured a decade ago.

Lacking so many features

This app lacks so many features that Steve Jobs body must be fuming in his grave. For starters you can’t use this stuff to play and control remotely devices like Echoes, you have to ask Alexa to barely understand what you want and specify that it’s on Apple Music. Or use airplay that feels like tech from 2012, slow, plays from your phone while it turns into lava.. dreadful. And when the music starts the stations are terrible, you would think that apple would be the top AI company, think twice, just like Siri can’t understand a full sentence, Apple Music can’t match two songs in a station to save its life. Not to mention, what goes after what’s playing? Who knows, Siri doesn’t know, there’s no way to know… hahaha isn’t that fun? Oh you wanna save that into a playlist because you might be a psycho? Well, YOU CAN’T.. hahaha again. Want to discover new artists? Nyet, even if you play an indie song and create a station, Apple Music will find a way to end up giving you some Drake, Nicki Minaj any other major artist with a song from 10 years ago. Well, isn’t this a great way to pay for a service and don’t want to use it? because this is what I feel Apple Music is about.

Over 1000 songs deleted, and no way to get them back

Okay. I'm done. I have been using this godforsaken app for months, adding songs and now it's all deleted. Let's start from the beginning. I noticed some songs didn't sync over to my iPhone, and I really wanted this one song on there, so i tried to fix it. I looked up why this stupid dotted circle was appearing on iTunes (on windows), and the answer I found said I should enable the "Manually add songs or movies" option to fix them. I did not click "Delete everything on there that was added automatically", because that is what it did. Everything was wiped off like it was never there. I normally delete any songs off of my PC because 1. Not enough storage to keep them there and 2. They're already on my phone. So when it deleted everything, I now had to redownload everything on the PC(which would've taken at least 2 days), take another few hours to get everything on, and then reorganize my playlists. This app and iTunes are severely broken beyond repair. I'm disappointed at Apple for making a product like this so buggy and misleading after they did great with the iPod.

Awful new update

I’ve been using Apple Music for 5 or 6 years, but I just hate this new update, especially with what it does to playlists. Half the time, when I search for a song to add, it adds a different song from the album instead. I have aesthetic quibbles with the treatment of playlists in the update - I miss the collage playlist covers (not sure why that’s not an option now), I don’t like the look of albums and playlists when looking for songs to add, the recently added tab etc - but this is an embarrassing glitch that I’ve never heard of any other streaming service having. I also don’t understand why, when adding songs to a playlist, the albums and playlists are sorted alphabetically by title. I prefer to have them sorted by artists and by when I made them respectively, and I don’t like that this setting doesn’t carry over into adding songs to playlists. It feels bizarre to have this mode not only look completely different, but ignore the sorting preferences in other parts of the app. This was never the case before, and I find it extremely bizarre.

Some issues with recent updates

Certain features have been taken off that I feel me and many others think should be put back on. It no longer warns you when you add the same song to a playlist. This is a problem for many reasons, i have really long playlists, I’m not going to notice a repeat in a 500 song playlist, I don’t want it there either. Please add the warning back it. Another issue is that when I make a queue and then accidentally hit a song, it doesn’t ask if I wanted to play the song or not. This is extremely annoying because one accidental tap can ruin a queue that I put together for myself. Also, I thing having the add songs button on the bottom of a playlist is really inefficient and should be put back on the top. I don’t want to have to scroll a whole lot and experience lags as I go to the bottoms just to add songs.

Can you imagine any other business…

…that would ask to photocopy your address book before making a purchase? Why is it that I have to create a social profile, share my contacts without any privacy option to deny access (like with a third party app), opt out of periodic contact scraping, opt out of a fully public profile, opt out of playlist sharing, and opt out of sharing my listening history. I just want to share one playlist with one friend. If Apple wishes to monetize my personal data, y’all should be paying me, not the other way around. Apple, please apply your own rigorous privacy standards to your own apps. Lossless Atmos content sounds great though! … Update: friend’s follow request is simply not getting pushed; COMPLETELY UNABLE TO SHARE PLAYLISTS. 😡 And not to go off on a rant but Sonos integration is terrible. Sorry Apple, I don’t want a mic’d speaker in my home; I’ll never by a home pod anything, and frankly it’s kinda jerky to have a business model that aims to drive hardware sales through crappy integration with third parties. 😡😡 New issue: playing any music sets repeat on. Turn it off, and the app will turn it back on. Respect the settings is choose!

Deleted 14 years of music

I’ve had Apple Music for so many years and had thousands of songs. Before Apple Music came out I had another music app but when Apple Music came out with the subscription I spent days going through my old music app and making sure I downloaded all the songs I had from there on to switch to Apple Music. Since that day I have used Apple Music. I stopped paying for Apple Music from December to February due to trying to save up. I just renewed my subscription only to find every single saved song is gone. I called Apple and was told if you cancel your subscription after 30 days your library gets deleted and I will have to start over. It is impossible to remember every song I have ever added and some of those songs brought such good memories from when I was younger when they would come on. To find all of this missing is horrible as music can bring back such good memories. It’s easy to say I will never use Apple Music again and not “start over” on Apple Music and will be switching to another music platform that will not delete my music if I choose to leave for 30 days.

Apple Music user

I am a frequent user of Apple Music. I like to play songs that my friends will ask of me a lot of the times I am able to play the song that they ask for sometimes you don’t have it and that’s OK but I have a problem with the fact that it says that music will be downloaded in my library onto my phone and when I try to play it from download it, I have to wait for it to load because it’s going from my service I don’t enjoy that because I like to be able to just play my music without any interruptions whatsoever but a lot of the times there are interruptions due to the fact that it’s trying to play the best form of sound for the music but that’s not what I’m trying to do. I just want to play the music and listen to it and enjoy it. I’m not trying to wait for the service to make sure that I have the best sounding quality music.

Help

Problem 1: Please remove the feature where when you delete a playlist it removes those songs from other playlists. Cause when I find a new album to add to one of my playlists, I add it to my library so I do not loose it, then later I listen and if it is good enough, then I add it to the correct playlist for it. And when I go to delete the album I saved to my library it tells me that it will delete any song that is in any of my playlists. At least make a feature where you can say no or yes. Problem 2: I was listening to a good alternative song, After Dark by Mr. Kitty, and it mad me feel sleepy. And then I had a thought. Does the sleep category have a alternative section? I look but to my disappointment, it had none. And this kinda made me upset, cause there was no sleep selection in the alternative category either! There are so many songs in the alternative category that makes you feel sleepy and relaxed. Please add that section in both. I want music similar to After Dark.

Quick suggestion

I absolutely love this app cause I can listen all of my favorite songs, even without Wi-Fi when I add it to my library, but I have a suggestion for the app. You know how the app has just recently come out with the new Sing feature? What if they made another feature that would take out the music part and just have the singers voice? There are some songs on Apple Music that I can’t hear the vocals to because of the sounds of the instruments in the back, and I believe that it could help some people practice singing along to their favorite songs better if they had the option to listen to only the words to the song. One other thing: Lately, when I creat my playlists the songs will re-appear in my library as if I had just added the album to the library. This only started about 2-3 months ago, so I’m guessing that it could just be an update, but it’s been getting very annoying lately.

The ease of discovering new music, creating playlists, and exploring diverse genres has been an enriching experience. One of the aspects I value most about Apple Music is its seamless integration with all my Apple devices.

Good app, but a couple things could be fixed.

As much as I love Apple Music, it is slightly upsetting that they do not have a crossfade. I don’t like the gap that it has between the songs, the silence can get irritating when you’re in a really good mood and enjoying the music. So, I think that they should add a crossfade. Another thing, out of the blue, it’ll randomly cut out. My phone is completely updated and has been. So whenever i’m trying to listen to a song, it randomly cuts out. It gets pretty annoying after it happens multiple times during one song. Also, whenever I try to download a song or playlist, it doesn’t always down or add it to my library. That’s also pretty annoying because I very rarely find a playlist that I like all of the songs in, so whenever I am trying to find that playlist again and it’s not in my library, I have to scroll through recommended playlists again; but overall it is a good app, but it needs a little improving.

Apple Music

I’m a DJ, I use my iTunes library with my Pioneer Serato controller. 98% of my music has been copied from vynal to CD, and then ripped to iTunes. Or it comes from CD’s I have purchased, and then ripped to iTunes. The other 2%, comes from purchases from the iTunes Store or downloaded from my DJ Record pool account. The problem I have is, I’ll play a song today, and if I try to play it again later or the next day. I get a message telling me, this song is not available in my country. Or it can’t be found and I get a message telling me, the song can’t be found would I like to search for it. Needless to say this throws off my performances, when tracks can’t be found or iTunes will not allow me to play MY music when and where I want to. The other issue is missing songs that seem to jus t disappear. I can search all of my music files, but still can’t locate these missing tracks. Any ideas where my music is going or why iTunes will not let me play tracks that I have burned to CD from my personal collection of 12” vynal !

Great but needs some tweaks

I love Apple Music for the sound quality, radio, and album suggestions, but I think some tweaks would make it even better. 1) Less tabs for discovery. I feel like For You and Radio should be one tab and Browse and Search should be another. The library tab is great on desktop but could use some work on mobile. I think it should work more like Marvis Pro with the menu being something you Seip towards, since the menu just being above recently added is clumsy. 2) Please move some of the functions from the menu by the song title to the actual player interface. For example, tapping the album art should take you to the complete album. There should be an add or delete from library somewhere on the actual player. The love or suggest less like this should be next to the player controls. 3) The desktop app needs some work. I think the mini-player is a little dated, but if it and full-screen view are going to exist, then both should actually have player controls instead of disappearing with the song title, artist, and title. The full-screen mode should also allow you to switch between lyrics and queue like Tidal does. It should also be the default view when you click the album art from the program. Overall, I really love Apple Music, but I think some UI tweaks to streamline the experience would be beneficial.

Stop forcing garbage on us!

Didn’t you learn your lesson with the U2 fiasco? Don’t arbitrarily turn on alerts. Other apps have to ask permission, but you’ve just given yourselves carte blanche to, what, send notifications from a music player? I DON’T WANT NOTIFICATIONS FROM MUSIC and certainly not a free trial *cough* preview to a service I’ve showed no interest in since it’s first FAILED iteration as iTunes Radio. I have over TWENTY THOUSAND SONGS ALREADY ON MY PHONE! My daily commute playlist alone has NINE ENTIRE DAYS of music available! Why would I want to waste my unlimited-but-actually-limited data on spotty streaming and HAVE TO PAY FOR IT? Are you going to have a subscription on top of a subscription like your failed video streaming? A whole year trial and you had ONLY ONE MOVIE AVAILABLE included in the subscription. Everything else required a secondary PAID subscription, so forgive my skepticism over your free “preview” trial followed by a month trial followed by a paid subscription I’m sure you’ve automatically signed on to everyone’s account for which these annoying notifications are supposed to serve as your idea of legal warning.

Fine I guess

Let’s start with the positives. The playlists are really great! And the browse tab is a good place to discover what’s popular and find a few new things too. But, there are a few things that ruin the experience. It’s been at least two years at this point, from iOS 13 to iOS 15, where whenever I add a song to a playlist it’s a 50/50 shot it actually gets added or not. This is definitely a bug related to iCloud Music Library that needs to get worked out. Also, when queueing songs by selecting Play Next, there’s a 20% chance they don’t actually play next and are added a few songs down on the queue. And lastly, I wish I could delete songs from my library without also removing them from my playlists. Other than that, the songs that are suggested are generally songs I like, and every so often I Shazam a song that isn’t available on Apple Music but that isn’t a big deal. Good music suggestions, but the app itself needs some work.

Why did I wait so long

I’ve had my iMac since 07 and my first iPhone was the 5 ,before Apple Music existed. I’m a radio listener ( yes stations) so IHeartRadio was my app for music. I decided to try Apple Music. My entire iTunes library loaded and it was like time traveling back to when I immersed myself in my IMac and music. The entire experience has me digging deep in everything. The Dolby Atmos stations are amazing and the lossless sound is amazing also. There’s so much I’ve been missing out on and I’m plugged in enjoying every second. I love that I can listen to my favorite radio stations also. It’s nice to have EVERYTHING in one place. I have a daily radio listening routine ( I live in a small market that still has great radio stations) and I can switch to streaming music whenever I want to. All of the features are great. I don’t know why I waited so long.

Good but has a couple serious issues

The music quality and selection is great. The option to sync my library at home with library on my phone is the best. The two issues I have are when I choose to shuffle my library it never really shuffles all of my library. It always tends to play the same songs every time I shuffle. I have over one thousand songs but I usually have to hear the same songs over again. I know I have other songs because when I manually search through my library I find songs I haven't heard in a while. Also I started noticing some songs in my library I am unable to play. The message it gives me is the song is unavailable in my error or is restricted? I don’t know what that means because the song was available before but then unexpectedly it’s not. I don’t understand that. I wanted to give 2 stars because I have been dealing with this issues for a while and even after I contacted apple support nothing has changed.

Would rate five stars BUT…

I love Apple Music but I think there is a few things that need to be changed, for example, the Apple Music widget would be much better if you could change the color of it to match your Home Screen/wallpaper instead of it being a very bright pink, and lately I have been having a problem using Apple Music with Apple CarPlay. The music will stop but the song won’t pause? It’s really weird and it’s driving me insane. also, instead of sorting the playlist based on the alphabet, date, etc .. I think it would be amazing if you could move one song to another spot on the playlist. I also thing there is a glitch with songs that are explicit, even if a song is explicit it won’t have the “E” next to the title and I have young sibling and I would like to know if the song is actually clean or if the song is explicit. Other than that I think it’s the best music app out there, but those problems need to be fixed. Thank you for reading.

Playlists

Devout Apple Music user. However, can I make a suggestion? I have a million playlists named after general genres of my music. Like for example alternative, classical, hip/hop, etc. But can we make a feature where you can favorite specific songs in a playlist? And you can listen to only those? My alternative playlist has 600 songs in it. But I know my favorites when I hear them. I don’t want to make another twenty playlists broken down into upbeat alternative, electronic alternative, and slow alternative. Pick your playlist and click a button that plays just the thirty songs that are your favorite in that specific playlist. Can we also be able to make sub category playlists within a playlist? I organized everything into genres and I’d like to think in that in my alternative playlist, I could make more playlists within it. For the slow alt, and upbeat alt.

Disappointing and Frustrating

It’s ridiculously difficult to add/manage songs unless you downloaded them from iTunes or you have an Apple Music subscription. If you have music that came from any source other than Apple, it’s super hard to add them manually to the app, most of the song info won’t transfer with it (and what does transfer will have issues), and there’s no way to edit song info in the app. For example, I’ve got CDs that I bought years ago and saved to my computer and once I finally got them onto my iPhone there were numerous issues. Some only show up under Songs in my Library but not under Albums or Artists. Most of their info is missing (like the album cover) or wrong (e.g. Radiohead songs/albums listed under the Red Hot Chili Peppers…???). Just lots of annoying issues with no way to easily fix them. Also, it would be super nice to be able to add music files saved to your phone (in the Files app) directly to the app. Basically, the app is not designed for music that you didn’t get from Apple. Continually a big disappointment.

Almost perfect - needs queueing/resume support

Apple Music does almost everything a music app can and should do, but there's one feature that it's lacking, and that is either a playlist/album resume function, or multiple queues. I have to revert to using another app when I need resume/queueing support to easily switch between playlists. If this other app could access the Apple Music lyrics, I wouldn't even use the Apple Music app. I highly doubt the lyrics API will be opened up to third party apps, but I believe that queue/resume support is important for people to be able to switch up their playlists to adjust to their moods and situations in life, while still ensuring their collection of music is properly "rotated". I believe if enough people realize the usefulness of a feature like this (at least give us an option of some sort), it could improve the listening experience.

Apple Music ad

I love my music, I NEED music to live. I can’t even buy a song I want because the try one month free ad runs for a month at a time and WILL NOT allow me to even pay for my songs!! The worst part is if you do try it, the songs you think you’re paying for are removed as soon as I opt out of the monthly subscription. I don’t mind paying for what I want, I mind not being able to get to music because I think it’s a RIPOFF to take $12 a month and then remove what was purchased for a price tag of .99 cents up to $18 because I was not able to keep paying it monthly due to no job and caring for a disabled person 24/7. I am trying to get to the music for sale on this app. I’m now trying other music apps and I am getting very excellent service with some. Please fix this ASAP so I can keep my Apple Music, because I don’t have time or patience to take a 30 minute fight for my songs.

Unquestionably the best music app, but DEVS!! WE NEED YOU!!

Hello, I love this app but recently it’s started giving me hella bugs, particularly with playlists. Whenever I try to add a new song to a playlist, the top 3 “Recent” playlists show up in a totally random order. And they’re never the actual most recent playlists I’ve used. Like, I’m getting playlists I haven’t touched in MONTHS up there, when in reality there are only 2-4 playlists I still add songs to regularly. None of those 2-4 playlists ever show up in the recent top 3 suggestions 😭 it’s not too much of a bother since I can search for the playlists I need by name now (THANK YOU to whichever dev made that brilliant idea happen, by the way), but I would love you forever if you can figure out what’s causing this bug and patch it up (or whatever the dev term is). Thanks in advance!🤍

Add Playlist Songs

hi! i’ve been using Apple y for almost 3 years and i love it! however, with the new Apple update there’s been an issue. there was a new setting that was added and automatically set to on: “Add Playlist Songs.” the setting allows songs that you add into your playlists to automatically add to your library. I don’t like that it did that, and I found out how to turn it off. However, after adding songs to my playlist, they were still adding to my library. It turns out that after I leave the settings app and add another song to my playlist, the setting automatically turns back on. Now, whenever I add a song to a playlist, I have to go back to the settings app and turn it off so it doesn’t add to my library. I really wish it didn’t do this because I love Apple Music, but I’m really confused on why it keeps turning on after I turn it off.

The best music app

It seems to me the best made, with a clean and minimalist interface, the sound quality is something that is quite appreciated even if you are not an expert or do not notice the difference and also do not charge you extra for that quality that is a very big point. Its design is beautiful, the app is easy to use, I like that it focuses only on things that have to do with music, music videos, interviews with artists, pretty good radio stations just love it. Another point in favor of those who like classical music is that they have an app totally made for classical music, and it comes in the same Apple Music subscription at no additional cost as well as the sound quality. Obviously it has some things that need to be improved and added, but the application is practically perfect.

If I could give this app zero stars, I would

I don’t ever make reviews, so this is definitely something I wanted to make sure everyone knew Apple Music will delete all of the music and playlist that you have, and that you create if your subscription cancels I repeat if your subscription cancels for any length of time they will erase everything do not Waste your time creating custom playlist, tailored, to you and your activities. they will delete your playlist and completely wipe your song library, all of your music will be gone do not rely on this app to keep your data saved and safe I’m heartbroken over this is has got to be a new thing for app development and I couldn’t be more disappointed I reached out to the team and they are no help and I’m not blaming them at all it’s not there fault it’s the fact that the creator of the app doesn’t care to provide a solution or visible warning instead the creator rather just puts there poor employees at the forefront with no solution to give to there complaining customers for years at this point

Too many bugs!

1) The app won’t remember the last song or playlist that I was playing even if I don’t close the app, just switch to another app for a minute or so and it forgets what I was listening to. 2) When listing to a playlist, some songs will just play with no sound for the entire song or for the majority of the song. I’ll have to hit pause and then play to hear the music. What is that? 3) Some songs in a playlist don’t play. They just get skipped for no reason. Come on, what’s the point of a playlist of it’s gonna skip random songs and play others with no sound? 4) When I use the Shazam app from control center, it doesn’t recognize my subscription and when it redirects me to the Apple Music app, even though I am signed into my active account, Apple Music still tries to get me to subscribe all over again. How does the app itself not know to not ask me to subscribe when I am already subscribed? I checked my phone to see if it’s updated and came here to see if the app needed an update and nope, both have the most recent versions. This is in addition to many other native apple bugs. Apple uses to make things that just worked without the need to set up too much and very few bugs if any years ago. Now it seems like apple forgot to focus on it’s software and I don’t enjoy using the products anymore. Feels like I’m using windows again many years ago.

Hometown Inconsistency for PR

Is it really necessary to put “United States” when the hometown is in San Juan, Puerto Rico? It seems like this was added recently to some artists. If you were to ask any of the artists with that hometown they would more likely tell you adding “United States” is not preferred. There is a huge cultural difference and in fact, debate whether this is appropriate for music, with a lot of cultural and artistic ties. As a matter of fact, Puerto Rico sadly belongs to the U.S. but is not a part of the U.S. in pure legal terms. Given this unfair situation, unless we become an integral part of the U.S. one day, it is best to not include this additional specification, and is it not customary to include this anyway. Lastly, the lack of consistency is confusing: Cultura Profética has “Puerto Rico” as “origin.” Residente has hometown as Hato Rey, San Juan, Puerto Rico. But then Bad Bunny and Ricky Martin both are showing as hometown: San Juan, Puerto Rico, United States. I hope this can be fixed. It was showing just fine before until it was changed by someone on your team.

Love it

I love music and apple music is amazing i just have one problem and a suggestion. the problem is recently (like the last year) when you try to play a song next it won’t show up. this happens when i have wi-fi,data, and wether the song is download or not it still happens and it is really annoying. no matter how many times i try to play it next it just doesn’t work. my suggestion is in your library the songs,albums,playlists,etc or in the order of which you download. I think you should either be able to choose what order like oldest to newest like time of release or you should be able to just move them around so you can have a favorite playlist first even if you have just added songs to your library without making the exact playlist again.

iTunes are control freaks

iTunes has no problem taking your money, but if you’ve accumulated multiple iTunes accounts over the years, they won’t let you listen to the music you paid for in one place. So most of the music in my music library won’t even play! I can’t imagine how much money I’ve wrapped up into this useless songs list! What a waste!! Who’s going to log out of their primary Apple ID to log into the id they had when they were using an iPod years ago, just to listen to hundreds of dollars of music??? I can’t even remember the old account info??? I’M THE SAME FREAKING CUSTOMER, SO IT SHOULDN’T MATTER!! Not to mention if I did, I’d be completely out of touch with my primary apple account while logged into the old one in order to listen to old music. Should’ve never trusted that control freak Steve Jobs! All he did was take a collection of music that use to be tangible, and lock up in his worthless iCloud. My advice is to only purchase music from iTunes/Apple Music that you’re ok to part with down the road, without a refund. Mr. Jobs, I don’t miss you.

Audio quality lacks

The user interface and music section is great. Everything about the app is great but for me the audio quality lacks. I don’t know if my is broken or glitched but it randomly gets quiet and sometimes there is no bass in a song, not like low levels like absolute removed from the song. It is like they went in the song production tracks and deleted the bass. And back to the volume issues it will fluctuate during the song and certain songs will be quieter than other. The songs will randomly start glitching for a second or sound almost grainy. I love the app for the user interface and the usability but there is some bugs that need to be fixed. And you would think for one of the most expensive music subscription it wouldn’t have major problems with the one thing you bought it for the MUSIC. I have had it before and it was fine then I stopped the subscription then got it months later again and this is happening. Fix the app Apple.

REQUEST FOR APPLE MUSIC TO INCLUDE A CROSSFADE FEATURE IN THE APP

Dear Apple Music Team, I'm a devoted Apple Music user, and I have a small but impactful suggestion. How about adding a crossfade feature to the app? It would make the transition between songs even smoother and enhance the overall listening experience. Crossfade, as you may be aware, is a feature that smoothly transitions from the end of one song to the beginning of the next, eliminating the abrupt pauses that can disrupt the flow of music during playback. Crossfade has become a standard feature in many music players and DJ software, and it has proven to be invaluable for creating seamless and uninterrupted music listening experiences. It enhances the continuity of playlists, albums, and mixes, making it especially useful for those who enjoy creating playlists for various occasions. I kindly request that the Apple Music development team consider integrating a crossfade feature into the app. Offering users the ability to customize the duration of crossfades would be an excellent addition, as it would allow for a personalized listening experience. This feature could significantly enhance the appeal of Apple Music, setting it apart even further from the competition. Best regards, [Angel Selassie]

Decent but behind the times

Has all the music you could want, a slick design, and basic features but it still feels like Apple Music is just checking the boxes for a basic music player. There are no real stand-out features separating it from the competition. Using it day-to-day it is easy to see the glaring flaws that keep it in second place. There is a song queueing system, but it isn’t practical in use. The way it is handed by competitors and by the Mac music app, where there is a play next and a play later and both are played before the rest of the playlist, is the ideal way to handle this feature. And when you do add music to up next or the library there’s a huge obstructive pop-up for each and every song. Dolby Atmos is also overly hyped and mostly just a gimmick that does not improve the vast majority of songs. They sound better on stereo since that is how they were originally mixed. Maybe this will change in the future when songs are truly mixed in Amos, but for now the feature stays off for me. The real redeeming quality of Apple Music is its integration with iOS. It’s great to use with the Apple Watch and during workouts. The live album artwork is also gorgeous, but it doesn’t show up in the library tab! TL;DR: Apple Music mostly checks boxes. There are the beginnings of what could be stand-out features, but most of the implementation is lackluster.

Great, but some issues

It’s great overall but I have some issues with my Alexa. I asked it to play my Christmas playlist, only played 1 song (which was the first on the playlist) then I played my playlist, only played one song (the first song on the playlist again) when I said skip, Alexa went: “This is the last song on your playlist” Then when the song ends its just stops playing music when there is clearly more music for it to play. I checked Apple Music and my mom (in charge of the Alexa account) said “no WiFi, sorry if it’s taking awhile, WiFi will be back on soon!” Then the WiFi turned on, Nope still plays the same song when I say the playlist I want her to play, it’s not registering other songs on the playlist to Alexa. I just got my Alexa (it’s about 2 months old) so it’s pretty new, never had this problem happen ever but try to fix it :)

Too Many Recent Complaints To Consider Subbing

⚠️ The plethora of disappointing reviews (12JUL24) makes one wonder, what is Apple doing, thinking..? I’m vested in iOS, but presently using YT/M Premium, and make no mistake, there’s a plethora of never ending issues regarding their music service too, but at least there it appears somewhat more value, given you don’t have to deal with YT ads. YT/M new plans, price points are soon to be announced, therefore if you’re seeking to be grandfathered into their pricing plan, your time is rapidly growing short. You do have the option to cancel at anytime, but I believe annual subscriptions are likely on the way, everywhere (hope not). You’ll likely always have a trial period, but after that, there may be an early termination fee… We’ll just have to see. YT/M streams, at present, up to 256kbps, depending on library master, but this also can also be spoofed through algorithms. Understand, you can’t make more out of what’s not already there, other than by diluting and/or simply making things up. I have difficulty embracing what appears as Apple’s seeming contraction of consistency, services, previous feature sets, which I’m reading here. DD ATMOS means absolutely nothing to me, as if it wasn’t mastered as such, it’s simple algorithmic manipulation, which will impart unwanted deviations to original frequency, spectral performance; strictly gimmicky IMO.

Love, but there is one thing…

I love listening to music and I play music on this app almost everyday. I really don’t have any complaints except I wish that you could sort the songs in the playlist that you create. I would love this because I’m someone who loves organizing things by color or alphabetical order and usually when I buy a new song and add it to a play list I have to click edit pick the song and then move the song in the spot it would go alphabetically. I just think that it’s really annoying having to do that and it would save me so much time if I could just click sort alphabetically or something. Now I know that I really don’t have to put the music In alphabetical order but it makes me happy doing it. Like I said I really don’t have any complaints except for that one thing and would love if maybe it could be taken into account. Thanks

Love but a few problems

Perfect but a few problems never really had a problem I had this ever since my birthday in 2020 and then I broke it and then I we got it brand new iPhone with all the data and then lags started happening. I don’t have that many lags but the only one I hate. and pretty much HAVE SOMEHOW is whenever I add some songs until one playlist that took me 20 or 30 minutes to put it on The playlist and then after I finish like 320 songs like right now I come to listen to it and then none of the songs I put in got in my playlist and I was furious cause this happened all this month and summer and if you could fix that it would be super fantastic otherwise I don’t really have problems with it keep up the good work and bye thanks for free music

Need More Customization!

I have used Apple Music for a few years and I’m generally satisfied. However, it’s frustrating that I can’t customize the Library page more. I primarily use the Library page, and I navigate based on albums. I think the app would be better if there were the option to “pin” things on the Library page, so that the exact albums/playlists I want are at the top, as opposed to just showing my Recently Added items. Lately I’ve been listening a lot to an album I downloaded awhile ago, which means that every time I open the app, I have to navigate to the Artists tab, find the artist, then select the album I want. If I could just pin the album, it would be SO much easier. Basically I’d like it to function the same way as pinning conversations in the Messages app. Similarly: I generally don’t make playlists, except for specific uses (party, road trip, workout, etc.). But in my day to day listening, I don’t listen to playlists very much; I usually listen to albums. I’d rather be able to hide a playlist or somehow remove it from my Recenly Added. The same way deleting an app from your iPhone’s home screen doesn’t remove it from your app library, I’d like to be able to adjust which items show up when I first open the app.

Terrible.

Apple Music has been a disappointment in so many ways. First and foremost, the user interface is incredibly confusing and unintuitive. It is difficult to navigate through the app and find the music you want to listen to. The search feature is often glitchy and doesn't always provide accurate results. Additionally, the recommendation algorithm is lackluster at best. It fails to understand my music preferences and often suggests irrelevant or repetitive songs. The library is also quite limited compared to other streaming services. Many popular artists and albums are missing, making it frustrating to find the music I enjoy. Furthermore, the sound quality is subpar. Even when streaming on high-quality settings, the audio often sounds compressed and lacking in depth. Lastly, the constant prompts to subscribe to Apple Music's paid service are intrusive and annoying. Overall, I would not recommend Apple Music to anyone looking for a seamless and enjoyable music streaming experience.

Buggy and slow on iPhone 13 Max

The app has good features and plenty of music, but it is very frustrating to use. Constantly slow and takes a full 10 seconds to load songs over WiFi or 5G even at lower bitrates. It will hang and even lock up the keyboard and haptic feedback when changing songs. If you star albums and the artist changes something (Kanye’s Vultures) there are orphaned tracks that say “unplayable” or not available, but if you search for them they are playable under a different album that’s literally the exact same. It has support for TuneIn radio stations, but you can’t bookmark the station or save it to your library, and there’s no track support for audio streams in m3u or any current track info from the station. I also don’t know why there’s no handoff between Apple devices—if I’m listening on my Mac and shut the lid, I should be able to pick up on my iPhone but it has 0 idea what you were just listening to.

Decent, but not great

It is a decent app but suffers from the typical Apple customization problem and other issues. One cannot get rid of suggestions that have nothing to do with personal preferences and listening history. Nothing really works. Cannot select preferred genres - always have to go through the long and poorly chosen list. The worst part is the playlist “rot” - songs get replaced by some ridiculous versions. I get it - some albums get dropped, but in most cases the exact song is available on another collections. The substitutions are sometimes totally ridiculous, pointing to extremely poor matching algorithms. I never cared about their suggestions - I guess they are based somehow on my listening history, just not on features that define my taste. Looking back at my rating… it was unjustifiably generous.

It’s 2021 and so many improvements needed

A few off the top of my head: 1.) still not able reorder playlists according to date added. I’m pretty sure Apple Music is the only service that doesn’t offer this. 2.) the ability to search song within playlist! 3.) can’t save created radio stations. 4.) it doesn’t matter how much I dislike a certain artist/band/song, they will still be blasted at me in recommendations. Almost as if hitting the dislike button doesn’t actually do anything at all. 5.) for god sake…and also assuming it actually is doing something….put a simple 👍 or 👎 on the now playing screen to simplify the recommendation tayloring, right now you make your user take an additional unnecessary step but hiding them in the 3 dot menu. 6.) block artist option. 7.) allow us to edit our preferred artists/bands (like when first setting up Apple Music. I’m sure there are more other users can suggest but those are the ones that grind my gears

Apple Music refuses to fix a conflict with ForScore, the best sheet music reading app available

I like Apple Music as a way to find audio files and to organize them and pay them back. However as a performing musician I am extremely disappointed that they have not fixed a known bug that diminishes the functionality of the forScore app which is used by many many musicians. The problem is a conflict with the feature in ForScore that allows users to associate an audio file with a score and listen to the audio while viewing the score, an extremely useful feature. If that audio track is open in Apple Music, even if it isn’t playing, while you are trying to play it in forScore, it can’t function. Even if I go choose a different track in Apple Music ( I don’t see any other way to close the file) or close Apple Music, or shut down the iPad, restart it, and start forScore again , it will not play. I understand the developers have pointed this out to Apple with no success and no meaningful response.

Audio quality is wonderful but app is too glitchy

I used to love Apple Music, I never had any sort of inconveniences with it, but I had to stop using it like a year ago because I was having too many issues with it. Unable to play songs sometimes, i.e. I clicked on a song and it did absolutely nothing, remained like frozen for a while. Since it was my favorite streaming platform, I wanted to give it a try again to see if everything had gotten corrected but I am still getting the same issues. Also, when trying to save a song for my library, it did not do it properly. When I used my AirPods with the app, it kept stopping the music… I thought it was the AirPods but I don’t get those problems with other music apps. If all of these little things could be resolved, I would gladly go back to using Apple Music, but otherwise, there is no way I can use it like that.

Starting to get frustrated

I enjoy being able to listen to music offline don’t get me wrong. I pay for Apple Music. I’m starting to get irritated with the lagging and crashing. It lags to play music I have downloaded sometimes it won’t play them at all. It crashes when I try to edit my playlists and it’s slow to do anything. Organizing playlists is like pulling teeth. It’s almost easier to start over than it is to rearrange songs. I’ve had to restart the app multiple times tonight while organizing two playlists just because it starts to lag and won’t do anything. I pay for Apple Music. It upsets me when I’m paying for a laggy, poor service. A lot of songs aren’t available and sometimes I’ll have songs downloaded for months, then it tells me it’s no longer available in m county or region? Get it together apple. I pay for good service. Not whatever you call this.

Not great but usable

App needs a better shuffle algorithm. When shuffling your entire music library it should not play songs back to back by the same artist. I have Over 50 artist with multiple albums released and for some reason when I use shuffle library it will play three Halsey songs back to back or three twenty one pilots songs back to back, shouldn’t be a thing. Next , There should be a way through the mobile app to exclude songs entire albums and even artists from the shuffle, I know that you can do this from the desktop application but that is really not efficient, I shouldn’t have to move from one device to another. Next The Apple Music app needs better way for users to find new music, it be cool if there was a button you could click on a song where it would create a station but it would only play songs that are not in your library.

The worst music app, ever hands-down ran by illegitimate morons

I had this app for over four years never paid for no music never paid for the app. so instead of letting me know now I have to pay or what have you after four years of building a music library they wiped my whole app clean and then I had to deal with people who should be working with the shovel not computers. They could not help they could not do nothing. They did not care that I lost all of this music. I told him if you want me to pay now there’s no way I would when you took all of my music and cleaned it off. You would be better getting any other music app this is a total farce. Get you a Music app to where if you have problems, they got people that actually know how to do their job and do their job. Whoever it was helping me not do nothing and acted like it was a chore just for him to be there. This was the most unprofessional customer service I’ve ever dealt with. If you get this app you deserve any wrong doing coming to you.
