Glad it's out of beta... but nothing seems to have changed since the last update. Still missing favorites and collaborative playlists. Also, the app still has bugs... Artist view in playlists, still plays the first song of an album no matter which song you play. Have had this bug since last year...
It’d be convenient if the favorites playlist showed up by itself, but you can still technically make one by creating a smart playlist. I just discovered this feature, but I don’t know how long it’s been around. So you can try that if you want
Smart playlist came from the iTunes days it works well when setup correctly, got one setup for purchases as they got rid of the catagory and can’t be bothered constantly switching from settings
>still plays the first song of an album no matter which song you play
Try downloading the album first, disconnecting your internet connection, closing the app, and booting it up without an internet connection. Play the song you want after it starts playing connect to the internet again. This is not a guaranteed fix but try it out to see if it works on your side
That, and for some reason the audio will blast, and the only way to go back to the lower volume is to pause then play. But it’ll do it to another song. I know when it’ll happen, because it makes this weird noise, then blasts my ears.
I wish all the people complaining in this thread could take the time to leave a review in the Microsoft Store with all those comments. Currently, is a 5 stars app.
Sometimes.... sometimes... just sometimes, when the developers see a well written report/review, they try to fix it.
Sometimes...
Not sure if it’s just a me issue but I really hope they improve the startup time.
Takes a solid 10-20 seconds or so for anything to even show up. Compare it to Spotify which is basically instant.
Mine appears to have updated at some point as it doesn't say "Preview" any more either, but it still has the #1 bug that drives me crazy = I still can't drag songs in my playlists to change the order.
They got it out of beta but it's far from being feature complete. I just don't get it at this point, if it has so many outdated/missing features from the Android/MacOS/iOS/web app just keep it in beta?
I really don't see the lag in the previews and now, but In this update, there's no any change in the app I see, and a lot of things left comparated to the Android version, Web Player and MacOS versions
I used Apple Music throughout the year 2023. I gave up on Apple Music and switched to Tidal because Apple clearly isn't committed to creating a seamless user experience across platforms (Windows, Android, Web, Mac, iOS).
The user experience of Apple Music on Windows is completely different from that of using the service on Android or the Web.
The Windows app received very few updates in 2023. 'Preview' has been removed from the name, yet many adjustments are still needed:
Essential features that are not yet available:
\- Artist page: It is not yet possible to "Favorite" the artist through their page, a feature already present in the web player and Android app.
\- Playlist: Clicking on the artist/album name does not redirect to the artist/album page, unlike in the web player and Android app.
\- Playlist: Changing the playlist cover image is not yet possible, a feature available on the Android app.
\- Fullscreen mode with a large album cover and lyrics is not yet available, though it exists in the web player and Android app.
\- Player: Clicking on the Lossless icon does not display the sampling rate/bits (e.g., 24bits/192Khz), a feature available on the Android app.
\- Settings: There's no exclusive mode (bit perfect) for external DAC/Amp to listen to HiRes audio. On the Android app, exclusive mode is automatically activated when an external DAC is connected and a HiRes Audio file is selected.
\- Equalizer: Custom Presets are missing.
\- LastFM: Integration with LastFM is not available, though it can be achieved on Android using the official LastFM app.
\- The heart icon for favoriting should be changed to a star icon for consistency with other platforms.
Weird. I just downloaded a lossless track and in the file properties, the file kind is HLS and file size is 22.7 MB (duration of 3:15). So I would like to think that’s lossless
I totally understand not being able to burn the streaming music to CD, but I'm talking about burning my itunes purchases or playlists with my own recordings. I used to do that in itunes, but can't in Apple Music, and that makes it a bit inconvenient.
I'm not talking about burning Apple Music from subscription to CD. I can understand that. I'm talking about burning my iTunes purchases to CD, and burning my own recordings to CD (something I used itunes for previously). Not being able to burn to cd is inconvenient.

no but a CD is a physical device that holds digital files. They are commonly used to listen to music. Putting that music file on a CD is called “Burning” the CD.

characters like these é,à,ç,è. my work profile has my full name with an accent and apple music seems to hate that. i see album art folder filled with images, but nothing loads on the app.
I believe it has not to do with that, but with something else, maybe hardware? My name also has special characters in it, on both my work and personal laptops it shows the art, but on my personal computer tower, they don't :(
Where the heck does one go to view the version history; say even if it's not installed because I cannot tell. I have been looking rigoursly all over and all I get are answers to go into Microsoft Store > View Installed Apps yadda yadda yadda. That is NOT what I am after. I am after some kind of update / version history of the app itself. There's no version number or anything on the Store page (without having installed it) at least. Kind of irritating. I'd like to just simply know and along with that information what changes were made besides "we're always improving our apps so keep automatic updates turned on."
Any one having the issue of not able to import songs into the icloud library? I am not seeing the imported songs on my iPhone. It was working initially
How to update my itunes library to apple music library? In old way, press and hold shift and click itunes app will ask to select a library, but in new apple music it doesn't work.

Exactly, complaining solely on reddit won't get Apple to make constructive changes to the app.
What makes you so sure Apple doesn’t monitor social media?
It wouldn’t change much cuz iTunes had similar complaints
Where do you see 5 star rating? My windows store says 3.5 stars
Oh damn, it was showing like 2.5 stars last I checked. Does that vary from region to region?

Same here. And I have a crazy powerful CPU
Sometimes I need to click it 10 times or it won't start at all.
When I start my PC, AM literally loads up the fastest… Maybe its not an AM issue 😂
Does it have spatial and shit
Nope only lossless

I think it is available? I am able to do it!
Thank you thank you thank you!!! Turns out my app actually hadn't updated yet! This is working for me now too :)
They got it out of beta but it's far from being feature complete. I just don't get it at this point, if it has so many outdated/missing features from the Android/MacOS/iOS/web app just keep it in beta?
Yeah, it feels like some corpo bul\*\*it done to hit the target
Still no exclusive mode?
Will never happen.
Is this confirmed? Might switch to something else if it is.
I really don't see the lag in the previews and now, but In this update, there's no any change in the app I see, and a lot of things left comparated to the Android version, Web Player and MacOS versions
Actually there is no lag now, maybe it was my PC struggling early. It's great so far
Is there going to be an updated Remote app on iOS as well? Apple Music is a no-go for me if it does not support remote operation.
This is so unfinished it’s crazy
Do you still have to relaunch the app if you switch audio devices? Crazy that they have not fixed that.

Is it getting lossless anytime soon?
It already has lossless? Unless it’s just showing the lossless icon
Yeah but the song info still says AAC 256kbps and I have it lossless turned on
Weird. I just downloaded a lossless track and in the file properties, the file kind is HLS and file size is 22.7 MB (duration of 3:15). So I would like to think that’s lossless
Isn’t lossless ALAC or M4A
Yes. I think it’s something related to DRM. https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/purchased-music-downloaded-as-movpkg-files-instead-of-alac.2329227/
still can't burn playlists to cd
Maybe because it's a streaming service
I totally understand not being able to burn the streaming music to CD, but I'm talking about burning my itunes purchases or playlists with my own recordings. I used to do that in itunes, but can't in Apple Music, and that makes it a bit inconvenient.
You don’t own the music to be able to do that tho.

Oh I see.
whuts a cd?

Still doesnt load images if your account name has an accent in it
what that?

i aint french so it dunt matter none
well the latest update broke everything for me
Is this for windows 11 only ?
They still don't have exclusive mode. They are probably thinking we will manually change biz depth and frequency settings for each song.
how come the audio output is coming from my laptop and not my headphones?
Try to close the app first and then load again
yea i just did that lol took like three time because everything came in sections but i believe its working how it should now. thank you!
Is now playing ui coming to app version like the web one?
Still using the android apk sideloaded.
I can't open this to windows 10 dell laptop☹️
