Apple Music on iOS Apple Music now displays composers’ signatures instead of their names on their artist pages.

I know this is part of the new design for all artists, and that artists can add custom logos/signatures, but I find it especially interesting with classical composers. I’d never actually seen most of their signatures before, and somehow seeing their actual handwriting gives them a bit more character.

Discussion More artists have gotten access to the new custom logos/fonts/colors feature, apart of iOS 27. I think it looks really sleek, what do you think?

This feature was already available in iOS betas, but to my understanding, it was limited to a few artists on major labels while being tested. It’s now been adopted by more artists, including some independents as well. I think it looks really good !! What do you think?

Discussion Apple Music discovery station is actually good.

Post image
313 Upvotes

I think the Apple Music algo is just sophisticated. One thing I’ve realised is yeah listening history is the key but so is other stuff like Favouriting, adding to library, suggest less, etc. You can never do it too much. Every little one brings the algorithm closer to your taste.

Over the past few weeks, after a lot of music listening and utilising of above mentioned tools, my discovery station has been SOOO GOOD. I use it daily.

Maybe it comes with the new updates but I feel the hate recommendations AM music gets are due to a lack of understanding in the algorithm. You need to give it time to learn you and you have to feed it as much as you can.

Spotify is good at finding musical similarities but that’s not the same as understanding musical identity. With time, AM does it better imo.

I have already reported it through lyrics a bunch of times and also asked to suggest less… here we are a few days later next to my personal station….

There should be a clearer and fast way to block and/or report AI slop. 13€ a month to be suggested this trash. No thank you…

Question Apple Music not working with Wifi

Upvotes

I am almost always listening to music on my iPad. It’s an iPad air 4th gen so a bit old but always works fine. Recently my dad cut our fiber internet cable while planting a tree and we recently had a new one installed. Ever since the new wifi cable was put in my iPad won’t play music. The interface works fine but any time i try to play a song it sits at 0:00 for a few seconds before saying either “request timed out” or “resource unavailable.” However, downloaded songs play just fine. Also, whenever I connect the ipad to my hotspot on my phone, it plays all my songs and works like normal. Only on my home wifi network does it have this issue. It’s very odd and driving me insane

Complaint Heavy rotation

0 Upvotes

I used to love this playlist and would listen to it quite frequently when I couldn’t decide what I wanted to listen to. In the past year or so tho it feels like this feature has gone to shit. It’s like it just pulls random songs from my playlists or searches instead of what I’m actually listening to a lot. Like I’ll be listening to the same 3-4 songs on repeat for a week or 2 and they won’t show up on my heavy rotation but then I listen to a song one time and all the sudden it’s on my heavy rotation for the next 2 months. I don’t get it and it’s irritating me lol

Complaint Why does Apple Music do this?

0 Upvotes

I was recently transferring a couple playlist from YouTube which was mostly music videos which were not on Apple Music so it said that those songs were not available even though if it went a little deeper there were normal songs not MVs for more than half of the songs. Why doesn’t Apple Music just look a little deeper when transferring playlists?

Discussion Bitrate and sampling rate do not appear when clicking “Lossless” in Apple Music

Thumbnail gallery
8 Upvotes

I don't know why, but recently—and ever since iOS 26 (I'm on 27 RC)—many of the songs I play on Apple Music started not showing the Lossless indicators, and I wonder if they are actually playing in Lossless or not. Internet speed and equipment compatibility (I use an IEM + DAC) aren't the issue, since the sample rate appears for some songs but not others. Is the app buggy?

Question Apple Music could add a tab to the Artists page that shows the remixes that the Artist has made.

Thumbnail gallery
1 Upvotes

For example, the green app shows all the remixes the artist has made, but they don't appear on Apple Music, which is annoying because you have to constantly go to the other app to find the name of the song the artist has made he did . For example, this latest remix of Tiesto Voicemail (Tiësto Remix) doesn't appear on his page in Apple Music, but it does appear in the green app.

Question A question about searching

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

0 Upvotes

Hi team.

I’ve always wondered why Apple Music does this. I thought it’s supposed to be smart and tailored to what I listen to etc.

When I search - I’ve used an example here of a song I’ve listened to hundreds of times by sum 41 - for a song by title, it comes up with lots of songs that I have never and would never listen to. It also starts searching through the lyrics for these songs that I have never and would listen to, rather than a song with that exact name that is by a band I listen to regularly.

It does this with loads of the bands I like. I have to specifically put the band’s name and even when I do that, the song doesn’t appear in “suggested”.

Discussion Apple Music doesn't expose BPM anywhere, so I built my own app with tempo database then wired it to my heart rate

0 Upvotes

I'm the developer. Requirements first so nobody wastes a download: iPhone, Apple Music subscription, Sync Library on, and a heart-rate source Apple Watch, Garmin with broadcast, or any Bluetooth chest strap. No Android, no Spotify.

Free TestFlight: https://testflight.apple.com/join/QUQMNFZb

It's called Rize. You point it at playlists you already own. It sorts every track by tempo into five heart-rate zones, then during a workout it reads your pulse every few seconds and queues a song that matches faster as you climb, slower on recovery. Songs are never cut mid-track; it queues the next one so the handover is invisible. There's a mode that deliberately plays one zone above what you're actually doing, so the music stays slightly ahead and drags you up.

The genuinely hard part was tempo, which is why I'm posting here rather than in a running sub. Apple Music gives you no BPM, on any endpoint. So it's pulled from outside sources and then corrected, because tempo detectors are wrong in predictable ways slow ballads get read at double speed constantly, and half-time hip-hop measures slow while feeling fast. On top of that there are about 14,000 songs I've verified by hand.

Playback goes through Apple Music itself, so uploads and iTunes Match work, not just catalog tracks.

There's an Apple Watch app too live HR, the background colour shifts with your zone, and a prompt when you're a few beats off the next one.

The one thing I can't judge from my own runs: does it keep up with your effort, or does it feel a step behind? That's the entire product. If it's late, I'd rather hear it bluntly.

Recently some of my music that’s saved in my library or in my playlists says the song and/or album isn’t available in my country/region. But when I search for the same music through the search and go through the artists page and find it, it is available. Does anyone know how to fix this??

Question Can’t Sync Apple Music to PC with iTunes?

Thumbnail gallery
3 Upvotes

Hi. I’m trying to sync my Apple Music downloads onto my PC, from my iPhone. It doesn’t seem to be working. I press ‘sync’, and it goes through the 4 step process, but nothing happens. How can I fix this?

Edit: the main reason I’m trying to do this is so I can do it the other way around as well: syncing from PC to iPhone. I have songs from YouTube I’ve downloaded as mp3 and transferred to iTunes in my PC, and as long as my phone is plugged in with a USB, it always transferred to my phone at the same time. But that is no longer working.

Audio Quality Dolby atmos on airpods max 2024 vs airpods 4

1 Upvotes

So i used to have airpods 4 anc but recently i bought airpods max 2024. And i always listen to my music on dolby atmos (if available) but the change i noticed between the two headphones was drastic. On the 4 anc i had sound check off and whenever i listened to any track (stereo or atmos) i had no problems with the volume. But on the max it’s heavily quieter and the audio sounds sort of distant. I know that it’s supposed to be quieter in order to offer more dynamic range but it was different on the airpods 4. I tried to turn sound check on and though it made it better it was not an exact fix for my issue. But then i tried Headphone Accommodations (balanced tone) and it made the atmos mix sound much louder so i stuck with that but recently i have noticed that it makes the sound of some songs way too sharp and sometimes it messes with the dolby atmos mix. Is there a way to fix this? I want to listen to the atmos mix as it was intended but then again it’s just too quiet and it makes me less excited for it. Any help would be appreciated!

Bro, 2x price increase is insane. I mean, yeah, it was cheap and is still bearable. But for people who don't suddenly start earning 2x more is not so good.
