Curious as to what the use case for this is. Looks like it just utilises the existing UI, and, presumably the same content.
I can’t see them removing the classic section from the main app.
Now, give me a neon pink dedicated app which plays only Def Leppard, REO Speedwagon, Boston, Van Halen and we’re talking.
“Hey Siri, play some music” is great.
This answers your question pretty well: https://youtu.be/UONhxSyJE88?t=90
It will be because the only difference is that EE is authenticating you as opposed to your Apple ID.
Pretty good from experience but way more subtle. I particularly like the “station” though if you’re like me and have a “eclectic” taste then it sometimes goes a bit off track - e.g
Dance>Country>Grunge>Dance
Also it takes it’s time but similar artist playlists - a.k.a “Daily mixes” will come, but not straight away
It’s going to be subjective of course but Apple Music has always been amazing for me. My other half put on “My Station” (essentially Apple Music’s recommendations for you) and it was a good half hour before I realised that it wasn’t my actual music playing because every single tune was a banger to me.
For PC yes. My Mac and iPhone and Apple TV all know what they are playing. It’s an eco system you have to remember that.
How have you managed to do that? I’ve never managed to start a song on my phone and continue it on the Mac.
To be honest I haven’t done much exchanging. But I’ve played on my Mac and passed to my TV BUT it might be a HomePod thing? I dunno!
I think its handoff, you bring the phone close and I think it should appear on the far right of the task bar or using cmd + tab but I have no had the need to do it, I do handoff to my homepod mini’s though.
I use handoff a lot. Listening to a podcast on the way home, walk in, tap my phone on my HomePod and it carries on playing.
Yeah I think it works similarly if you go onto your mac and its playing, if the phone is nearby you should get the option.
I’ve never thought to use handoff in that way before. Thanks
It doesn’t work anywhere near as well, strangely. I can’t start a song on my iPad then pick up my phone and control playback. I can start on one and “handoff” between the devices however.
Would the iTunes Remote app do what you’re looking for?
Maybe not quite the same thing - but have you checked out https://music.apple.com/
Open that in Edge, and then you can install that website as an App into your Start menu.
You can’t download tracks for offline play - but it’s definitely a lot ‘lighter’ than iTunes (and it’s in the same style as Apple Music on your phone, Apple TV, Macbook etc.).
(You can also do the same with Apple TV as well at https://tv.apple.com/)
I just wanted to say a massive THANK YOU - I’d completely forgotten this app existed and it’s exactly what I was looking for to control one from the other.
I’d really like to see this get to spotify level one day where I can start a song on Mac, pick up my phone and keep playing it on there…
But for now this is a really nice compromise
Also looks like the Apple Music App for Windows is only for Windows 11. If I go to the store to get it, on my Win 10 PC it just says I don’t meet the minimum requirements for it.
Can’t think of anything specifically in Windows 11 that’s missing in Windows 10 that would possibly break this though? (is there extra special encryption available in Win 11 that they might want the tracks to use to stop them being pirated?)
I’ve decided to try out Apple Music for a few months due to a free trial. I normally use YouTube Music Premium (and before that Amazon Music Unlimited). First impressions are that the sound quality is good and it has a nice range of music, however the app and website for YouTube Music are definitely better. I think if I was paying for both, I would choose YT over Apple, but I’m getting it for free so I’m happy to use it.
I’ve moved from Spotify to Tidal and love it
