Apple Music 12+

Freaking love Apple Music! It’s playing all the time. Let’s be real, it’s playing Harry Styles all the time. My only gripe is when I’ve added songs/albums to my library and multiple playlists before they have lyrics. When they finally get lyrics in Apple Music, it doesn’t update in my library. If I delete what I have to get the updated version, all the songs delete from my playlists. A similar thing happened with Lizzo’s latest album. I added the album to my library before it was fully released and when she did the lyric change on GRLLLS it didn’t update to the new version. The sung words too, not just the written lyrics. Also, (apparently I have another gripe) when I’m plugged into my car, the play next option becomes unavailable. I realize this was done for safety but so many other more dangerous options are available. Like to share the song through text. Most of the time my carpool buddy is acting DJ anyway so this is über annoying.

I tried the trial subscription of Apple Music that I received with a Samsung purchase. I had Apple Music playlist on my iTunes, iPhone, and iPad that was in created over many years prior to the activating the trial subscription. I let the subscription expire and found out that all my playlist had been deleted from my Apple Music iPhone, iPad and TV apps. Also, my Apple Music app on my TV, which prior to the subscription would play music in my Apple library, now no longer accesses my playlist or any songs purchased and downloaded without re-signing up for a subscription. So Apple Music on my TV is useless at this point without a subscription. My Apple Music playlists on my iPhones, TV, iTunes, and iPad was deleted, literally erasing hours of work. I did figure out that I could re-sync my iPhone and iPad devices with iTunes on my computer and get the playlists back. However, my Samsung TV Apple Music app now requires a subscription to access my library to access previously purchased songs and playlist. This is incredibly non-customer service oriented. I also did a trial of the Apple TV subscription and Now, I’m concerned about what Apple may do to my Apple TV movies when that subscription expires. I guess I should have just left it alone and not signed up for the trial subscription. I would be better if you were warned when starting a trial subscription on the TV app and ending it will cause you to no longer be able to access you library.

This update has completely messed up they way I use my playlists. I have a main playlist I use to get to my favorite songs faster. There are a lot of songs in this playlist and I tend to want to listen to th new ones over th ones I’ve heard too many times. I usually organize th playlist from newest added to oldest because th newly added songs always go to th bottom of th list and always have and I have never figured out how to tell it I want new songs at th front. Now after years of adding songs to th end and just sorting th playlist from newly added to old this new update has made all my new songs added to th front. What this boils down to is now I have to drag a newly added song to th very bottom or th very top of my playlists because all my newly added songs get put right by th older ones. I like to keep my playlist in an order cause this playlist I’ve had over a decade so it has thousands of songs by now as u can imagine I don’t listen to th old ones often but it’s good for shuffle all at th gym or something active. Now any newly added song to this playlist is forever separated from th rest of my newer songs and thrown right to th older songs. This is something that did not need to b fixed so please apple just stop.
