Thought of something I’d like in #AppleMusic that I guess #AI could probably provide: Sometimes I want to play specific types or styles of music from an artist or genre.
Example: I really like Polyphia’s instrumental tracks, but I’m usually not into the collabs they do with vocalists. I like all of AJR’s music, but sometimes I only want to hear their songs that lean electronic or use samples.
Installed macOS Sonoma beta this weekend to try out the changes to #MusicKit. Can confirm that this lets me add #AppleMusic support to @longplay for the Mac. The previous way only worked through Catalyst and caused the Music app to spawn as soon as you start playing, which was hideous, but this now works independently and support AppKit. Woot woot.
Apple Music has released its inaugural list of the 100 best albums of all time. Lauryn Hill's "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill"came in at No. 1, sparking some debate by music fans who thought Michael Jackson's "Thriller" was a more worthy winner. Here's a story from the Independent about the list. We want to know, which of these DIDN'T make the top 10?
People say that the sound quality in Apple Music is way better than in Spotify. What is the technical explanation here?
It can't be a problem of the encoding pipeline. This problem has been solved decades ago. #spotify#applemusic#soundquality#audiophile#music#opus#aac#vorbis
Apple przygotowało niewielką stronę internetową, na której rozpoczęło odliczanie 100 najlepszych, wg ich kuratorów treści, albumów muzycznych w historii.
Na razie poznaliśmy pierwszą dziesiątkę od miejsca 100. Kolejna ukaże się 22 maja. Są to kolejno:
100.Body Talk, Robyn
99.Hotel California, Eagles
98.ASTROWORLD, Travis Scott
97.Rage Against the Machine, Rage Against the Machine
96.Pure Heroine, Lorde
95.Confessions, USHER
94.Untrue, Burial
93.A Seat at the Table, Solange
92.Flower Boy, Tyler, The Creator
91.Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1, George Michael
Sam pomysł jest ciekawy i może pozwolić wielu osobom odkryć muzykę, której dotychczas nie znali. Niestety, nie jest to dostępne w Apple Music, a jedynie przez tę stronę internetową całej akcji. Po zalogowaniu się na niej swoim Apple ID, możecie dodawać utwory lub całe albumy do swojej biblioteki muzycznej w Apple Music.
I honestly think #Spotify has missed the boat on this one. Those who care about #Lossless will already be on #AppleMusic#Deezer or #Tidal; and those who don't care won't pay the extra to get it. The fact the aforementioned three services all include lossless in their base subscriptions while it will be an extra tier on Spotify won't help matters. #Music#Streaming
If they'd gone lossless a year ago it might have mattered. Now, not so much
Spotify lossless audio said to be close to launch, with third branding
Nice. Apple Music creates a playlist called Heavy Rotation Mix with the 25 songs you've been playing the most recently. Hear's mins as off an hour ago.
I read a thread on here which said #Napster pays artists (presumably they mean labels) the best, so I downloaded the app to see what it's all about in 2024 because I know it's going to be very different to the Napster I remeber of 2000. :crystal_ball_fb:
And it seems on the surface like a competent streaming app. :face_smile_fb: There's not that much difference between #Spotify / #Tidal / #Deezer / etc. these days to be honest.
But I think I'm sticking with #AppleMusic. :face_sunglasses_fb:
I’ve started testing out alternatives to #Spotify as they’re putting their prices up yet again! £20pm for Family plan now. 🙄
I’ve started with #AppleMusic as I had a 2-month free trial, but the Windows app is trash. It keeps telling me playback has stopped on another device. It wasn’t playing on another device in the first place. Also songs just randomly stops playing or starts from the beginning again. 🤦♂️
Doesn’t seem like you can transfer playback to other devices on #AppleMusic either. That seems like a pretty basic feature for a cloud based music service. 🤷♂️
'A Certain Trigger' by Maxïmo Park is a good album. I never choose to listen to it, but when a song from that album pops up on Shuffle, I realise how much I like it.
I have an album in #AppleMusic with a few songs marked as favorite. I cannot find a way to tell Siri to play or shuffle just those songs. Has anyone else?
Like “play my favorite songs from X album”
Nothing. It either shuffles the whole album or starts playing whatever songs from across the artist’s catalog. Seriously? #Apple
Does anyone know any musician who actually receives «on a regular basis, at least once a year, [...] relevant and comprehensive information on the exploitation of their works and performances» on #YouTube, #Spotify, #AppleMusic and friends (or radio and TV, for that matter)?
