It's weird. The albums I've been seeing it with aren't new by any stretch of the imagination and there's literally no hint about why some tracks can't be played. They're also unavailable in iTunes. They're there in Spotify, though  Why can't apple poo poo* just loving work or at least offer explanations for arbitrary things *or just any modern devices

Re: albums with grayed out tracks in Apple Music. I believe it’s a licensing issue, for instance when songs get added to soundtracks of popular movies the license holder will pull the streaming rights for six months or so to encourage people to purchase the track or album. I first noticed this after the first Kingsman movie came out and “give it up“ by KC and the Sunshine Band flipped to grayed out in my playlist. On a unrelated note, has anyone else noticed Face ID failing repeatedly after upgrading to 11.3?

If they don’t have the license for both they can’t make it available for streaming.

I've rarely run into albums that can't be fully streamed. Most of the time they're compilations or soundtracks where the rights are complex. I've used AM for three years and rarely had issues. It's not for people who carefully curate mp3s

Apple Music sucks. I find it's curated playlists lacking and the interface annoys me. It also tried too hard pushing me toward popular music when I prefer mostly unpopular music. Apple Match messed up my music library when I tried it. So. I. Stopped. Using. It. But there are no alternatives, so now I live a mostly silent life. Oh why must Apple Music be the only streaming service available?

The only incomplete albums I've ever run into were compilation things released prior to Apple Music starting up. But I rarely listen to those, so it's not really an issue for me. Also, I got some AirPods yesterday and will be returning them. I can definitely see why people like them, but I wore them during my morning commute and was ready to take them out well before getting to work they were so uncomfortable, and they blocked so little outside noise that the podcasts I was listening to were getting blown out by the sound of the train entering the station. They seem really cool, but not at all for me in their current form. If they ever make an in-ear set, I'll be first in line to buy.

The people coming of age now only get their music on youtube and suffer through ads every five seconds. So it could always be worse.

I’ve had a song or two drop off for what I figured were rights issues. But since I like the bands that actually happened with, I simply bought the album/song. Problem solved. And you are correct. Your experience means nothing to me.

Streaming services really aren't going to serve 100% of people. If it doesn't work for you, oh well. But if you do want to use a streaming service, something like Apple Music or Play Music is probably going to be your best bet since they allow you to upload your own music to fill gaps.

Speaking of rarities and bootlegs, I noticed the other day that you can't like/dislike songs via the touch screen when using carplay on songs not purchased through the apple store. You can "hey siri" a dislike and do it manually via Music.app, but on the carplay interface the "..." button simply isn't there.

I didn’t like Apple Music at release but a mixture of being bored of waiting for a Spotify watch app, the mild annoyance of having multiple music libraries, and iTunes smart playlists got me to switch. There are still a lot of weird functions/ UI decisions (the amount of times I’ve played a song rather than queuing it...) but being able to set up a workflow widget to play the songs that I have added and loved in the last 2 months is pretty great.

I mean it’s not perfect but one of my suggested playlists today was Alternative Hits: 2000 and I’ve been jamming the gently caress out to Ex Girlfriend and Rollin’ all morning and it’s like I’m back in high school and why doesn’t Jenny want to go to homecoming with me???

gently caress the iTunes App. I use the Diskstation DS Audio App which downloads / streams music from my Diskstation. The app is kinda ugly and the „pins“ feature is annoying but it‘s great if you have your own music collection (gently caress streaming services too).

I use Amazon Music and generally love it. I have thought about getting the Unlimited package (since my family three echos) but I have not been convinced enough to pay for it. Amazon has allowed you to upload 250 songs (I had only uploaded 69 - nice...) but they just sent an email stating that they were ending that service and you have to click one button to keep your music available. I wish I would have uploaded more of my music now.

In safari I used to load up my work email web portal, it would auto initiate Face ID, and enter my password for me. Now it loads the page, I have to touch the password field, I get the pop up above the keyboard prompting me to choose the password for the site, then it starts Face ID and types in the password. Stupid, unnecessary steps were added.

Is there a reason why FaceID is being used for sites that don't need FaceID? If you look in Settings there's a section for sites that use FaceID and that hasn't expanded, but it seems to be using it regardless whether it's needed or not.

Isn't the iTunes Match limit something absurd like 50,000 songs? AM + Match = the best of both worlds... you can still be an obsessive curator AND yell at Siri to shuffle some 90s grunge when you want
