as we all know we saw some reddit posts today about the change of the apple music accent color to blue and the icon to black and white vice versa.

WHAT the F*** are they thinking? this is probably the ugliest thing ever. apple music was BEEN known for their pinkish red color. now its some ugly ahh blue that no one even likes. NOT saying blue is ugly.
this specific change for the app is ugly. thoughts?

Hi everyone, with Apple shifting towards a more refined, retro-premium aesthetic in recent software updates, many of us miss the tactile and visual magic of Cover Flow from the classic iOS era. However, we all remember why it was removed in iOS 7: turning your phone accidentally in list views was frustrating and taking over the entire screen interrupted navigation. I came up with a concept that fixes those usability flaws while bringing back that nostalgic feel in a modern way.

In this proposal, Cover Flow triggers strictly when you have the full-screen Now Playing view open and rotate your phone into landscape mode, preventing any accidental triggers while browsing playlists. Instead of taking over the screen, the carousel is neatly contained inside the album art area on the left side, creating a balanced split-screen layout. When holding the phone horizontally, your left thumb naturally swipes through the mini Cover Flow carousel while your right thumb controls playback, volume, and lyrics. Since all controls stay fixed on the right, you can interact with your music without artwork animations distracting you. I think this strikes the perfect balance between modern productivity and classic Apple soul, giving us a tactile experience on OLED and ProMotion displays without breaking functionality. What do you think? Would you like to see Apple implement something like this?

Apple Music just got the colors on the Ui updated to blue on the new developer beta of iOS 27.2. In my opinion, it looks bad and very generic. The app icon also updated to plain black and white, as others have already posted.

Looks like we are getting updated Apple Music icon. This looks ugly

In the Apple Music app on iOS 27.2, red seems to no longer be the colour of Apple Music. Instead the library icons are now black, the navigation bar is white with blue highlight, and the icon is now black and white. What do you think?

It’s not 100% the same but it’s still better than that black and white one…

This has been a personal project for many months. I love Apple Music and their lyrics screen is the best out of any music streaming app. Here’s a demo of the lyrics. It’s a 1:1 reverse engineered creation. Let me know your thoughts.

The main driving force behind this is that Apple Music doesn’t let you see karaoke lyrics on imported/synced songs from computer even if they’re embedded into the song file itself. Instead, they show you a text view that you have to manually scroll with your finger. Now I no longer need to worry about this because I have my own Apple Music app 😭✌️

Why though?

Honestly ... why would they do this.

I shifted from spotify to apple over a year and its been my go to however i do use different devices ipad iphone android and a windows and i really miss the spotify connect feature where u could control the music from different device while it plays on another….Any one has a solution or a hack for this please let me know

I built Masters Vault, an app for discovering 10,000+ verified Apple Digital Masters (open beta)

Apple Music doesn't let you filter for Apple Digital Masters, the albums mastered from high-resolution studio files to sound their best on Apple Music. So I built Masters Vault.

It starts with 10,000+ verified albums, and it grows every day. New albums are checked against Apple's catalog and added daily, and new Album DNA and Echoes arrive every week.

You decide what gets added next. Open the ⋮ menu, choose Request an Album, and ask for an album, an artist, a genre (even one the Vault doesn't have yet) or a decade. Each daily update checks the most-requested albums first, and if it's a verified Apple Digital Master, it joins the Vault.

It's in open beta. Anyone can use it, and your feedback shapes what comes next.

What's inside:

• The albums: browse by artist, genre, era and format (Dolby Atmos, Hi-Res Lossless).
• Album DNA: sourced recording, mixing and mastering credits. Find the engineers and studios behind a record, then follow them to other albums.
• Echoes: songs that sample or borrow from earlier records. Trace a familiar sound back to its source.
• Pull a Record: let the Vault pick your next listen.

My Vault: make it yours

Sign in and My Vault becomes your own collection, synced across your phone, tablet and computer.

• Crates: group records any way you like: a mood, a room, a decade, a mastering engineer. Add records from any album's menu, or drag them in.
• The Top Shelf: your eight favorites, front and center.
• On the Turntable: the last record you opened sits on a spinning turntable at the top of your Vault.
• Notes: write a line about any record, and it shows wherever that record appears.
• Pins: follow the engineers, studios and Echoes you love.
• Arrange it by hand: tap Edit Vault, then drag your crates, Top Shelf, people and Echoes into the order you want.
• Your Collection three ways: a wall of covers, record spines on a shelf, or a list with your notes, sorted your way.
• Name it: give your Vault its own name and tagline.
• Listen Later: line up what's next. Listen buttons open the music in Apple Music.

Try building a crate, exploring an album's DNA, or following an Echo, then tell me what works, what's confusing and what's missing. Use Report a Problem in the ⋮ menu, or just reply here.

Est-ce que quelqu’un sait pourquoi la radio Skyrock du Nord FR n’est pas disponible sur Apple Music ??
C’est un peu domage, j’aime bien cette radio…

I can not reverify my student status bc apprently I somehow used a different apple account

Hey everyone,

​I know the official and straightforward way to use Apple Music on the big screen is to buy an Apple TV box. However, I am wondering if there is any workaround to get it working natively or smoothly on an Android TV box (specifically, I am using the Homatics Box R 4K Plus).

​Is anyone here using a good sideloaded APK, a specific web wrapper, or another method that maintains audio quality (Dolby Atmos)?

​Any tips or setups that actually work well would be greatly appreciated!

As some of you showed interest in this project I made it open source on GitHub.
Helix lets you play everything on Apple Music when set up correctly.
You’ll need the wrapper-v2 (check the readme)
So unfortunately its not plug and play as this would require using Apple Original code which wouldn’t be really smart.

Hope you’re having fun using it, let me know if you got any questions.

Features i added that are missing in the oroginal app:
Beautiful now playing screen with animated artwork.

Phone: Samsung Galaxy S25 (SM-S931B/DS)

OS: Android 17 OneUI 9.0 (also happened before, in Android 16)

I don’t have premium account but the moment I connect my phone to earbuds, the apple music starts playing by itself which are mostly ad songs. It’s getting annoying, how to turn it off ?

I opened Apple Music this morning on my iPhone and noticed two new files under "Recently Added".
When I played them, they turned out to be voicemails from someone working at a local town hall/city council looking for an ecologist. I have absolutely no connection to this, and I've never heard these audio files before.

To clarify a few things right away:
I didn't receive anything via AirDrop.
Nobody sent me these audio files via text/email.
I haven't manually imported or downloaded any files to my library.
I didn't use my computer or iTunes recently; this literally just appeared overnight on my iPhone.

Has anyone experienced a similar bug or cross-sync issue recently where random third-party audio files or voicemails showed up in Apple Music? Could this be an iCloud database mix-up, or is there another explanation?

Hello! I'm from Bangladesh. I want to stream Apple Music through India region based apple account. But I don't understand how to pay for subscription from Bangladesh. Does anyone know the method?
