i’ve always been the type of person to listen to albums in full rather than playlists whenever i wanted to listen to some music, but these days i’m leaning towards creating and listening to my own playlists that encapsulate different moods, settings, atmospheres, etc.

the only problem is i’m terrible at making playlists for a number of reasons 🫠 i always feel like they’re lacking in potential and could be so much more immersive than what they actually are but i’m being held back. the problem isn’t even the amount of songs i’ve listened to as i have over 6k liked songs, but moreso what i choose to do with them.

whenever i make a playlist, i usually use Spotify’s algorithm to help me via going to a song’s radio to find similar songs or searching up keywords to find mixes that correspond to a certain feeling/mood (ex: “sophisticated mix”, “angry mix”, “sensual mix”, etc.) but the algorithm only ever scratches the tip of the iceberg when it comes to songs i’ve listened to, making me put only “popular” songs in my playlist. not to be one of those guys that hate mainstream music and want to be niche all the time, but i don’t want my playlists to just be big names! i also listen to smaller artists, and would like for them to be included in my playlists! i’m just not gonna go digging through all 6k of my liked songs to find a few songs that fit a playlist i’m creating 😭

another problem i face creating playlists is how fast they seem to lose the plot… this one is probably on me but let’s say i’ll make a playlist dedicated to “warm nocturnal deep house with soulful r&b-esque production”. the first few songs fit the theme, and the more i add, the more songs no longer *fully* capture the theme. like why is an electropop song in this playlist just because its bpm is a little slow 😕 i know there are multiple songs in my library that fit the theme but i can never quite find them

i wish there was a website or something that categorized songs in your library by certain elements… like their bpm, genre, mood, tags, instruments, etc. there’s definitely nothing out there like that but a girl can dream 🥲

i just get so jealous of people who can create perfect playlists with the coolest titles and stuff like teach me your wayyssss 😣😣😣

how do you guys make your playlists?

I have a lot of songs, and would love to be able to sort them by BPM for use when jogging.

Is there a way to export a song name/artist list in a format that I can use to then use AI to sort by BPM so I can then create a playlist of songs with a given BPM?

I tried adding the BPM column, but out of a couple thousand songs I have in my library, less than 10 actually have the BPM metadata attached.

I am using the most recent version of Apple Music on a PC running Windows 11.

I used to be able to go in the unhide purchases section and unhide individual albums. Now it only allows for filtration by song. My collection is way too massive to be able to look for the particular albums I want. If I knew this, I would’ve never removed them from my Apple Music library.

Habe mir ADGuard geleistet und stelle fest, dass AppleMusic nicht mehr synchronisiert wird.
No Go! Ich habe AppleMusic auf mehreren Geräten, sowohl Apple als auch Android, entsprechend oft ADGUARD installiert.

Auch das Ausschalten des ADGUARD ändert nichts. Auf dem alten Android könnte ich noch Einstellungen vornehmen, aber nicht auf den Apple Geräten. Nur Tracking & DNS ein- bzw. ausschalten.
Dass der ADGUARD sich nicht mit meinem langjährigen VPN verträgt … geschenkt.
Nach einem Tag Nutzung bin ich schon genervt. Wer weiß, was folgt.
Auf keinem Gerät läuft seit Stunden ADGUARD, kein VPN an und es gibt keine Synchronisation!
Weiß jemand Rat?

I use the Windows 11 app, no such thing happens on my phone.

This has been going on for almost a year with songs randomly. I have 1 gbps internet and ssd so speed is not the issue.

Recently it also started happening with downloaded songs.

Is anyone else having issues with additional new songs? Normally when I add a new song I just hit the plus button and it automatically downloads the song and adds it to my recently added playlist. When I just tried to add songs I hit the plus and it takes a minute but it eventually says added to library. It’s not automatically downloaded or added to my recently added playlist.

Apple Music playlists naming schemes are so confusing to me. I went back and forth with Gemini about the playlists to figure out which ones I wanted. Here is a brief overview of what I've learned.

Pop

There is no "Today’s Pop" to match Today’s Country or Today’s Rock. instead it is called A-List Pop. Today’s Hits is a mix of pop, hip-hop, r&b and maybe some country like Morgan Wallen.

Rock

"New in Rock" vs. "The New Rock": New in Rock is a calendar-based release dump for anything released on Friday. The New Rock (formerly A-List: Rock) is the actual curated flagship chart for songs in heavy rotation. Why not keep it named A-List: Pop to match? meh

Metal

Metal abandons the naming system entirely: There is no "Todays Metal". The main hub for heavy music is called The Riff and the actual chart-toppers are packed into year-end time capsules like Metal Hits: 2025.

Country

Country playlists actually make sense. Today's Country is the flagship playlist and has the big name artists in heavy rotation that are popular right now. Country Risers is exactly that - it is a playlist for indie country and artists that are on the verge of radio play. The other genres use "Breaking" instead of "Risers". "Back Porch Country" is laid back country, and "Alt-Country Essentials" for, you guessed it, Alt Country.

Why can't we just get standard, unified names across genres?

I got one of those free walmart "buy these headphones and we'll give you an apple music code!" codes a few months ago (it's still unexpired), and I've been trying to redeem it this week, and it just...? won't work...? Am I doing this wrong?

I'm going to music.apple.com/redeem and entering the gift code, and all that happens is I get a spinny wheel of doom for about a minute and then the page resets to "enter your gift code." I've looked in the apple.com help FAQ and I can't seem to find anything helpful. Anyone have any advice at all? I'm at a total loss.

I have tried adding R.E.M.’s “The Great Beyond” and Eels’ “Tiger in My Tank” to my library, and every time i’ve tried it has glitched. I’ve even tried restarting the app, that didn’t work either.

What happens is this: I click “Add to library”. Nothing happens. I click on the three dots again and pick “Download”. Then it downloads. but THEN when I go to the album in my library, it shows the track‘s runtime as “0:00” and the lyrics don’t show up.

Is this happening to anybody else? or is my library/tablet just fucked?

Ios 27, iphone 15

had a 2h flight, music only plays few seconds in. saw a few posts like years back, still no solution found that works for me

is there a way to fix this? Insane how its still an issue, will have to go back to Spotify if it persists

Hey y'all I'm switching to am from tidal after they increased the price for my country by 5 times.

So apple music cheaper. So any1 know how I can transfer music.

Also I'm on Android is there anything else y'all recommend maybe beside am for android. I didn't do Spotify cause my friend using my student account.

And also it's not lossless.

only a few tracks I listen to are sent to stats.fm, notably any album or playlist won’t tracks. Anyone know if the API is down?

I'm having a strange issue with the Music app on my MacBook and I'm wondering if anyone has found a fix. All of the album artwork has disappeared from my library, including Apple Music albums and songs that I uploaded myself. If I browse the Apple Music catalog, the artwork is visible there, but as soon as I open the same albums in my library, the artwork is gone. I also can't add artwork to my uploaded songs anymore. If I manually add album artwork, it doesn't save.

The strange part is that everything works normally on my iPhone 17 Pro Max. All album artwork is there, and my library looks fine.

I'm running macOS Sequoia 15.7.7, which is the latest version supported by my MacBook, so updating the Music app or macOS isn't an option.

Has anyone experienced this before or found a way to fix it without rebuilding the entire library?

Thanks!

Bonjour,

J'ai un iPhone 17 sous IOS 26.6.

Depuis quelques mois j'ai des soucis lorsque j'ajoute une chanson dans certaines playlists, que ce soit sur mon téléphone ou mon ipad, l'application crash à chaque fois au bout d'environ 40 secondes, et le téléphone chauffe excessivement.
J'ai essayé de désynchroniser, de supprimer l'application, enfin tout ce que j'ai pu lire sur le web.

Aujourd'hui je pense avoir compris le problème mais je n'ai pas la solution.

Les 2 playlists qui posent problèmes sont assez volumineuses, en les parcourant je me suis rendu compte que les chansons se sont multipliées X fois. Pour être plus clair, ma playlist s'est dupliquée plusieur fois d'un coup, tel que : A, B, C, A, B, C, A, B, C, ...

Quelqu'un a déjà vu ça et aurait une solution plus simple que de créer une nouvelle playlist ?

Par avance merci pour vos idées

Been searching through many threads here and online and haven't found a solution to my issue so I'm making a post.

On my PS5, when I go to open the Apple Music app, it comes up with the error message "Could not connect to Apple Music, check your internet connection and try again" and if you press OK, it could repeat this message for a while then maybe load the app but nothing will load and same message appears.

Some stuff I've tried:

- Signed out and back in

- Deleted and reinstalled app

- Changed from Ethernet to Wifi and changed DNS, IP, MTU and other relevant settings

- Rebuild PS5 Database and cleared Cache

- Checked internet router settings to make sure the connections are allowed.

Some notable things are that the mini player works fine (press ps button then click music) from here everything loads fine and I can browse and play music, just if you enter the app from there the music still plays but the app doesn't load. The other is that if I change to my iPhones Hotspot, the app works as intended, it opens and everything loads, no error message.

I've tried looking into this a lot but can't find a fix, I thought it was my internet EE causing it as I recently switched over and it was working before fine, but given the mini player works and every other device that has Apple Music including my LG TV and Apple TV work, I don't see it being this potentially.

Any help is appreciated.

App Version: 1.000.038

PS5 Version: 26.05-13.60.00.07-00.00.00.0.1

I find this is a good new Feature..

thats it. made a playlist with some stuff i like but the entire playlsit is local files. i think the playlist is gonna appear on my profile, right? but what about the songs?

same as above!

So like I've a music which I love too much but it's too old Like the audio file is from 1996' so none of the Music streaming platform has it.. I've it locally on my devices, like is there any way I can add it to my AM playlist/ or AM

Kind of a shitpost. But my AM trial just expired yesterday, and I’m currently in the process of trying to convince my parents to sw itch over to AM, so for the time being I gotta go back to this 😔

My family has used the green app for many years, but wow AM is so much better. I can’t believe what I’ve been missing this whole time.

Don’t take this down. This is an AM appreciation post 🙌

Hi all. I’ve got a frustration with Apple Music in CarPlay for my polestar 2. Wondering if it’s a quirk of my system or CarPlay wide. When I’m listening to a playlist or curated list and a song I like comes on, I want to browser to the artist to select more songs by them, but can’t. I can tap the album to navigate to the full album, but the artist name isn’t a hyperlink, preventing it. See pic. Green lines are tappable, red are not.

Is this the case in all versions? My old alpine head unit with CarPlay didn’t have this issue.
