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?

PS This will never be a subscription.

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

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.

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.

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?

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

powered by apple intelligence i suppose

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

I’ve used songs for my alarm for years. In May this year, it started counting my alarms as plays for my music replay. Please help.

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?

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

Just noticed very slow connection and tiles aren’t loading then after a while goes on “connection timeout”. At the moment shows “an unknown error has occurred”. Login is somehow working.

I've been a Spotify user for years and recently after purchasing a new iPhone got 3 months free of Apple Music and thought what the heck, I'll give it a shot and found myself really liking the type of songs that my personalized radio station has been giving me. Is there a way I can help give feedback on the songs its giving me so it gives me more songs I'll enjoy? I see when a song pops up that I can thumbs down "suggest less" but there are no thumbs up button to tell it I like it? also does skipping a song quickly mess with that algorithm too? id hate to skip a song i really enjoyed just to see whats next and have it assume I don't like the song i just skipped

My songs on Apple Music are doubling up when I add them to library but only first 2 if any one has any idea how to fix this it would be great
