May 2024 Replay Stats Megathread!Replay Stats

Hello r/AppleMusic!

So, seeing as the Replay playlist updates every Sunday, and the stats page will update monthly, it seems fitting to utilize a monthly Megathread for sharing! So, instead of inundating the subreddit with people wanting to show off their stats, we (the mods) decided to create a Monthly Megathread for everybody to utilize! This will be the official spot to post, so enjoy!

Do you think Apple Music needs a redesign?Question

Personally the Apple Music app is okay but some things could be worked on. The library feels cluttered and the app can be hard to navigate sometimes. What do you all think?

Transitions between songs in an album is lagging, what's going on?Question

I recently switched from spotify to AM and I noticed one thing that the switch between songs in one album is noticeable while in spotify its not that case. But when I select the next tracks in the play next and add to queue, its working right, idk whats going on. Is it my device or has anybody ever experienced this

Suggest less doesn’t do anythingComplaint

Seriously annoyed now . Pressed this and it doesn’t suggest less. It feels like it recommends more

What do yall think of these takes of mine?Discussion

1) FOR THE LOVE OF GOD stop putting the EPs in album category because they have over 6 songs. I get that it’s automated, but yall write the descriptions on these, SAYING it’s an EP (Ex: Lychee, BENEE) and they put it in the albums category. 2) I’d love the animated album covers, why can’t we have that for our own playlists? It would add some spice and creativity like we’re releasing our own album. 3) Downloadable lyrics. I think it would be nice if they add a feature where you can download the lyrics so that way if you wanna, I don’t know, karaoke in Antarctica, you can because you’ll have the lyrics right there. 4) This is really small and kinda petty, but for example, when artists have their album where you can only listen to the released songs, don’t put the unplayable ones in the queue when I shuffle/next in queue.

PLEASE NO FIGHTING OVER THESE! just my opinion, and I wanna hear (AND RESPECT) yours.

Can I access my uploaded songs (from iTunes/Apple Music library) even if my computer is turned off?Question

So I used to be a huge fan of Google Play Music... best streaming app on the market, hands down. You could upload your own MP3 library and it would include your own uploaded tracks alongside streaming tracks when making instant playlists, so I could click on one of my songs and generate an auto playlist and discover new, similar artists. It was awesome. Then Google decided to gut it and remove all the best features, and now it's almost impossible to access your own uploaded MP3s. They clearly want people to pay to subscribe and not listen to their own music. It's awful, and I'm ready to finally jump ship.

I'm debating between Spotify and Apple Music. My question is how the Apple Music uploads work. I still have an old iTunes library on my Macbook, but all the files are located on an external hard drive.

If I pay for Apple Music, can I still access those personal mp3s from my Apple Music/iTunes library, even if my Macbook is turned off and the external drive isn't connected? Does it upload all my music to the cloud? How easy is it to access your personal uploaded MP3's from within the iPhone app?

Thanks!

Replay 2024 playlist not updatingQuestion

Hey everyone. For reference: I use Apple Music on a iPhone 14 Pro. I‘m a really big fan of Apple‘s Replay Top 100 feature, although the calculations seem to be a Bit obscure. However it seems that this week it did not update my playlist at all, even though it says „last updated 10 hours ago“. I have read a lot about possible issues. None of those seem to apply in my case. The only thing I thought might have caused it is that I had to deinstall and reinstall the Apple Music app on Friday due to another issue with the app, but from what I‘ve read the plays are instantly updated as long as You’re connected to the internet. Has anyone had similar issues or knows what the cause could be?

Home tab not workingQuestion

Just made the switch from Spotify to Apple Music. However, one issue is plaguing me. The “Home” tab doesn’t show anything on the app. On the web player and app on laptop it simply says “unknown error occurred”. This is really frustrating and I’m wondering if anyone had the same issue or found a fix. Thanks in advance

What's your favorite way to access favorite music quickly?Question

I've recently switched from Spotify to AM.

Something I'm finding hard to get accustomed to is that on spotify, whenever I listen to an album it climbs up in my library so I can quickly access whatever music I'm listening to lately (if in a hip hop mood, most of the top albums on my library are going to be hip hop).

From what I see this is not the case since the library is static and only sorts albums by last added or favorite.

Siri Remove Song from PlaylistApple Music on iOS

On google I seem to see indications that I can tell Siri to remove the currently playing song from the playlist, but I cannot seem to get it to work in action. Anyone have a recommendation for how to tell Siri to remove the currently playing song from the playlist?

How do I stop my Apple Music app from redownloading after I offload the appQuestion

Ok for context I barely use my Apple Music app at all because I have Spotify so I offload it because I don’t use it and every time I hit the play button my Bluetooth earbuds by accident it played it and even when I wasn’t listening to stuff it would just default to playing Apple music even when I didn’t have any Bluetooth device connected to it

All of my plays from this year have been erasedQuestion

I like to do smart playlists and see what songs I listen to most each month/by a specific artist/etc. I’ve noticed all my 2024 listens have been reset/erased. Is this a temporary glitch? Is it happening to anyone else? Thank you in advance for any response.
