    Apple Music - help a noob!

    Nevermind :) On my iPhone Apple Music shows those songs aren't available in the album. But because Music on the dekstop is kinda garbage, it just acts weird instead of telling the user that the songs aren't availble. :/

    Apple Music - help a noob!

    Need some help: Can anyone play this album in Apple Music? It will only play track 2, the theme song. No matter what I click, Apple Music only plays the second track. And if I click next track, it goes into random music by that song's artist, not the next track in the album. I don't understand...

    Apple Music - help a noob!

    I’ve turned off Atmos in Music. Movies are supposed to be 24p, and HFR looks wrong to me. Music is supposed to be punchy and in-your-face stereo and Atmos doesn’t really sound right to me. It might be a case of, “Say you’re old without saying you’re old…” ”I like two channel rock” Atmos...

    Apple Music - help a noob!

    If you’re already turning on the full system to use a streaming box to play music, then of course choose aTV (vs Fire vs Roku) to play your Apple Music. But I can see how someone might want to fully initiate music from an iPhone and not have to interact with a streaming box at all.

    That shows you’re playing from your aTV, which does Atmos. You’re not using AirPlay from your iPhone to the Denon.

    I don’t think Atmos is supported over AirPlay. None of the Apple support docs I found give it as a means to do Atmos.

    Apple Music - help a noob!

    It’s been interesting hearing how my “Station” changes shape based on I’m listening to. Initially it was a modern pop mix. Then I listened to bunch of ‘80s rock one day and started getting too much Hair Metal. Then I listened to a bunch of ‘80s discographies, and it turned in an odd New...

    Shazam app is much more useful with Apple Music. But its feature to add discovered tracks to a playlist just quit after a few songs. I can’t figure out why it broke out how to fix it.

    Have you tried “Love”-ing more of your library?

    Apple Music - help a noob!

    Not quite related, but something I learned just now trying to search Apple Music behaviors: toggle “infinity” play on or off if you do or don’t want Music to add more music automatically after a playlist or album. This probably explains what happened after the Harry Potter soundtrack ended...

    Apple Music - help a noob!

    Many, definitely. But I know a lot of people into music from well beyond college and continue look for new stuff in their 40s and 50s. What surprised me was, as you’re saying, is finding music by favorite artists I missed. I was super into Linkin Park in grad school. I’ve got the first three...

    Anyone understand how Music works with the Watch? Anyway to get my station or playlists to auto sync maybe with daily updates to watch?

    Apple Music - help a noob!

    Thanks, good insights. I didn't understand at all why I'd add music to my library since i thought all of Apple Music was my Library now. But I see what you're saying about manually creating playlists from music "in my library". But I have little interest in making playlists so I can maybe...

    Apple Music - help a noob!

    I gave Spotify a quick look. The web interface worked fine. I would have tried it more seriously if Apple Music didn’t work. Either way, I had no interest in free ad-supported. For work, if I’m listening to music, it’s to help get into a work flow and ads kill that.

    I’ll read any article. And I can listen to audio (podcasts). But my lifestyle is not conducive to watching long youtube videos. :)

    What’s the video say? (I’ll never around to watching a 15 minute video on the iTunes app icon.)

    Haven’t used other services, so no comment on them. I refer to Apple’s $15/mo which is the family plan. Single person is $10/mo, I think. Similar pricing to all the other services.

    A friend only listens to Edgar Winter, and only on vinyl or CDs. That was the music of his youth, and that’s all he wants. I’d say Apple Music isn’t for him. I like both music of my youth and new stuff. I want nostalgia and new stuff the kids are into. But I no longer have time or interest in...

    Despite Apple Music being a kinda garbage UX, apple music streaming music is pretty great. Are Spotify or Pandora or SiriusXM better? Could be. Don’t know. Not trying them. How’s the price? $15/mo for family. Kinda spendy. That’s why I’ve never used it. But that’s like buying an album a...

    Apple Music - help a noob!

    But… Apple Music is maybe the most opaque, obtuse, inexplicable Apple application and/or service I’ve used in maybe ever. What does Merge Library do? Who knows. Not even Apple explains it -- there’s no documentation on it. The Music app has three tabs: Listen Now, Browse, Radio. All three...

    A day of work with Apple Music on for most of it, a late night exploring surround music, an evening streaming on iPhone in the car, and a weekend of scattered use on the AppleTV, and I’m loving streaming music. I need the trial duration to know if this is simply the glow of a new toy, or if...

    I clicked Merge Library. Gotta see what this stuff does. Updated preferences. Notably, disabled Download Dolby Atmos. That's hit or miss and I don't want my music silently replaced by new mixes that might be worse. The Sync Library I had turned off previously. The auto-download of Sync Library...

    I subscribed to the.Apple Music trial today. I found I can use the web-browser interface to listen to music at work, so I’m giving it a go for work music. But while I’m reasonably tech savvy generally and Apple products specifically, I know almost nothing about Apple Music. I need help. :) Do...
