    Many questions regarding Apple Music...

    Playlist Folders are cool! How long have they been in iTunes? I hadn't noticed them until after Apple Music was released.

    Many questions regarding Apple Music...

    Just name the playlists something that will sort to the end of the list of playlists. That way they will be out of the way. I used to name intermediate smart playlists (ones that other smart playlists pulled from) with three "X"'s like "XXX iPhone 5* Songs". I had some pretty complicated...

    Many questions regarding Apple Music...

    Apple doesn't use the Hamburger button because they don't use it anywhere else in their iOS apps. The use the bottom row of icons pretty much everywhere. That was their choice and I'm fine with it. My initial confusion with Apple Music was the dramatic change in those icons. Moving most of what...

    Many questions regarding Apple Music...

    That's cool. I actually haven't really looked at the UI on the iPhone yet. I've been too busy adding albums to my collection. I notice that what you were saying about the iOS interface also is available in iTunes. The "..." that appears after the name of the song that's currently playing in the...

    Many questions regarding Apple Music...

    Re: Many questions reguarding Apple Music... You are probably looking at the albums list in the search results page. That list seems go to on forever. If you click on the artist's link and bring up their page. Then go down to either Top Albums or Albums and click either one, you will only get...

    Many questions regarding Apple Music...

    Re: Many questions reguarding Apple Music... Search for Queen in Apple's library. Trust me when I say that there are way more than 25 albums in their collection. Other bands to check, Genesis, Electric Light Orchestra, Alan Parsons Project.

    Many questions regarding Apple Music...

    Re: Many questions reguarding Apple Music... Something to be aware of with regards to artists discographies and Apple Music. Apple Music does not show the Artists entire discography even when displaying the artists page and click on the Albums link. There seems to be a maximum of 25 albums...

    Many questions regarding Apple Music...

    Re: Many questions reguarding Apple Music... If you switch to the "Playlist" tab next to My Music at the top of the iTunes window, you should see a column on the left side. At the bottom of that column, there should be a "+" and a gear. The "+" is where you can add a Playlist, Smart Playlist...

    Many questions regarding Apple Music...

    Re: Many questions reguarding Apple Music... That's what I am talking about too. I have several tracks that I have flagged as "Loved". I just created the Smart Playlist, changed the "Artist" pull down to "Loved". The "is True" was the default and clicked OK. I haven't had a chance to add new...

    Many questions regarding Apple Music...

    Re: Many questions reguarding Apple Music... Can't you make a Smart Playlist saying "Loved" "is True". I don't know about automatically downloading the tracks to an iPhone, but at least the playlist will be available. I'm trying it now, but I haven't tried adding new "Loved" tracks and seeing...

    Many questions regarding Apple Music...

    Re: Many questions reguarding Apple Music... I've been having more and more success with Apple Music now. I have a better understanding of how music that you put on your desktop is to become available to the iPhone and other devices. I found out that music has to be either on Apple's server as...

    Have you ever seen the British TV show called "The IT Crowd"? The above statement is pretty much an exact copy of the shows main character answering an IT question. :) It just made me LOL. :)

    Many questions regarding Apple Music...

    Re: Many questions reguarding Apple Music... That had better not be the final way to make sure music doesn't stream over cellular. That's just ridiculous that three separate locations have to be adjusted. A single central setting should be the only way to tell Apple Music to not stream over...
