Last week, I posted about IvyPod, an app I made for iPhone that uses haptics, lighting, and resolution tricks to create a very convincing iPod experience, but with Apple Music as its library. My goal in obsessing over the details is to create an illusion that you're actually holding an iPod with a sheet of glass on top, rather than an emulator app that just looks like the UI. Seeing how the community has reacted to 'holding an iPod again' is so great to see, and I've been enjoying incorporating all of the features suggested to me. What would you like to see in IvyPod?

What a mad playlist ! I slowly feel pulled away by Spotify for various reasons but playlists like this that are regularly update make me feel so good to be an Apple Music supporter

Just wanted to post that the new blue accent appears almost turquoise or like a baby blue on the web player... I wish they extended this to the apps so that it was more easily distinguished from default apps

Using IPhone 13 Pro (Cuz it’s still awesome)
iOS 27
Region India
Steps taken - all that I could find.

Wonder if this is just me; in any case, I am posting this bug here as it may help people that are experiencing this same problem and are going insane trying to figure out why their Music App is crashing (as I was!)

Steps:

1. Open Music and right-click a playlist > Open in New Window.

2. Open a second (or third) playlist in another new window.

3. Quit with ⌘Q.

Result: Music crashes on quit (EXC_BAD_ACCESS, null pointer read at 0x30, in the exit cleanup: terminate > exit > a few frames inside Music). When it crashes, my custom column order for playlists resets to the default the next time I open Music.

What I tested:

- No extra windows open: quits cleanly, columns saved.

- One extra playlist window open: quits cleanly, columns saved.

- Two or more playlist windows open: crashes every time I tried it.

Other details:

- macOS 27.2, Music 1.7.2. I was seeing the same crash signature earlier on macOS 27.0.1 (Music 1.7) (it was driving me crazy), but I only worked out the window pattern on 27.2.

- Force quitting doesn't crash, but then any new column arrangement is not saved

- Clearing caches and using a new empty library didn't help before I found this.

- I've reported it to Apple through the Apple Music feedback form.

Nice feature to include lyric translations :)

As the title suggests, I’d love to be able to pin one of the radio stations (specifically KEXP) to the home page of Apple Music. I’m not sure if there’s a technical reason one can’t, and Apple doesn’t seem like they “take feature requests”, so here I am posting here. Perhaps some others agree with me and we can start a movement / revolution

So I was just messing around and thought to try some alternative navigation bars. What you u think.

Please do give me some other idea of how u would like to customize your apple music. Would love suggestions.

Complete logo redesign.
pink color is replaced with blue for accents.
the Star (favourite) is now yellow.
library tab is now just monochrome instead of pink.

last post ab this i promise.

Just upgraded my MAC to iOS 27.2 and immediately went to check out what was new in AM. Were any of the meaningful changes that people have been requesting implemented? Other than changing the color of stars to yellow and changing the toolbar icon color to white, I can't see anything substantial that has been upgraded. What am I missing?

I’ve noticed a really annoying issue with Apple Music on my iPhone.
When I enable Crossfade and set the audio quality to Lossless, songs start playing immediately, but they don’t seem to play in Lossless quality right away.
The Lossless badge often takes several seconds to appear, sometimes even over a minute into the song.
What’s even more noticeable is that the audio briefly stutters or cuts out for a split second exactly when the Lossless badge appears, almost as if Apple Music is switching audio formats mid-song.
However, when I switch to Hi-Res Lossless (which disables Crossfade), songs start playing in Lossless or Hi-Res Lossless immediately, without any delay or audio interruption.
So it seems like Crossfade might be interfering with how Apple Music handles Lossless playback.
Has anyone else experienced this? More importantly, has anyone found a fix that allows both Crossfade and Lossless to work properly?
I’d really like to keep Crossfade enabled without having to deal with delayed Lossless playback and those annoying audio glitches.

Whoever gets to add this feature first between the two of them will gain a subscriber.

powered by apple intelligence i suppose

I add songs to my favourites to listen to every day because it’s easier that way, but I’ve noticed that some songs are getting removed randomly without me taking them off. It’s happened several times, before I thought maybe I’d forgotten to add them but today one got removed that I literally listened to yesterday.

I mean like I just add them back but it’s a little irritated ngl

It really sucks not being able to have a digital assistant play my music when I ask 😔

Kevin MacLeod’s ”Local Forecast” has seemingly been replaced by the Elevator version?

I don’t know whether this is the right place or not, but this is only happening on Apple Music.

I've amassed a sizeable iTunes library over the years, and I just went into the iTunes Store in the Apple Music app to check an artist to see which of their discography I was missing, and as far as the store is concerned I only purchased two of their albums when I in fact bought almost all of them. Was there some great reset at some point where they redid the store database and anything bought before a certain date wasn't carried over?

Two new singles got added to The Books artist page but they're both obviously AI, and obviously not put there by the band. Really disappointing that this is a thing that happens now. I hope Apple Music does something about this sort of stuff.

Since May, I have received no milestone—why? Perhaps I am doing something wrong, as I use the service daily and listen to music excessively; I used to play the same tracks every time. Could this new song or number be the cause? Regarding the artists, how can I listen to 500 of them? Is that even possible?
