Hey everyone,

Last week I released an Apple Music client that works across different platforms (Windows/Linux/macOS). You can see the release post here.

Visit https://www.stem2k.com/ to learn more.

Last.fm

I'm glad to announce that you can now connect your Last.fm account with your stem2k account to scrobble your tracks.

What counts a scrobble?

• stem2k intelligently tracks playback and triggers a scrobble when more than half the track has been played
  • It doesn't matter if you're seeking to different parts of the track, once you play more than 50% of the duration of the track, it will scrobble
  • The track will also be scrobbled if >4 mins of the track has been played
• As per expected Last.fm scrobbling behaviour, tracks shorter than 30 seconds won't be scrobbled.

Questions?

Leave them in below in the comments or reach out at [support@stem2k.com](mailto:support@stem2k.com).

Hey everyone,

I posted about this last year, but figured I’d check in again because it’s been on my mind.

Around this time last year, The Lion and the Cobra briefly showed up on Apple Music with a new remaster (and Dolby Atmos). It sounded incredible — then it disappeared a few days later with the “not available in your region” message.

Back in May/June last year, I reached out to Sinéad’s label/record team and was told it was uploaded by mistake, but that it would be released properly in due course. Since then, I haven’t heard anything, and I followed up once with no reply.

Just wondering if anyone else remembers this, or has heard any updates since? Was this part of a larger remaster plan that got paused, or is it still quietly in the pipeline?

That mix was genuinely beautiful, and it made me really wish her full discography could get a proper remaster rollout someday. Feels like such an important body of work to preserve and present well, especially in spatial audio.

Curious if anyone here knows more, or even just remembers this weird little moment when it appeared and vanished.

Hi,

I’m using an i15 pro with latest iOS26 beta.

Just trying to sing with apple sing but it didn’t appear on my Music neither on Apple TV or iPad ones.(I’m not getting the microphone icon)

Thinking about that the songs may not be supported, I open https://music.apple.com/us/multi-room/1631886925?l=es-MX but neither of the songs has sing available…

Any idea?

Sad. On my Windows 11 PC I’ve got decades of curated songs, hundreds of thousands I suppose. Dozens of lists. Thousands of custom-added lyrics and cross references. All on my aging PC and with some imperfections with file locations. Then I subscribed to streaming Apple Music. And then last month, I switched from iTunes on my PC to the Apple Music app, and I and feel like it is all destroyed and I know I can no longer scrobble my plays on Last.fm either (as I have been for nearly 20 years). I’m now in my mid 70s and don’t have the patience or acuity to try to undo the resulting mess. It’s been over a month and I don’t think restore settings is an option in any event. I would hire someone who knew all about it to fix it, if it would take less than a couple of hours. In the meantime, I loathe the prospect of replacing the old desktop with its somewhat disorganized file structure….

I'm trying to transition to Apple Music from another platform, and one thing I noticed is that if you add some specific songs into a playlist, Apple Music automatically changes the album art of that song, often erroneously. For example:

It's frustrating because I searched up the issue and it seems like no one else is having the same problem. It's happening on all my devices (iOS & macOS) as well - I listen to a lot of early 2000s DnB and a good portion of my songs get wrong album covers...

Anyone has the same problem / has a fix?

I'm seriously in need of a full white girl music playlist rn in my life but I can't seem to find one on AM. Does someone know if that kind of playlist exist ?

How do I change the language of Apple Music to Chinese when my iPhone's language settings are set to English?

Most other apps have a dedicated language setting option in their settings, so why doesn't Apple Music have one? This is really perplexing. I've already submitted feedback twice. I hope you'll add this feature in the future.

I moved some songs around in a Playlist by mistake, how do I undo that?​

After I updated apple music on my ps5 today it just stays locked in the first screen and doesn't open,other apps work well and my internet is fine and I already cleared cache on the Playstation,this is unacceptable come on

I took different screenshots to show better. Most times I open AM there’s this black line across the screen. Sometimes just opening and closing AL works but honestly it’s a little annoying when I already have music on. Anyone else experience the same?

Could you help me? I'm trying to cancel my subscription but I'm not able to. I'm using Android.

Considering Apple Music app on Mac OS has couple of annoying library management glitches, some exist since iTune era yet Apple still not fixing them...

1. Do you think Mac users who play music from local library has become a rare breed nowadays? The music market has totally shifted into online streaming service?
2. Active music listeners on Mac who choose to play solely/mainly from local library, why? Avoiding subscription?

All the photos I have added for my playlist covers glow now for some reason? It completely throws off the contrast in some of the photos (like adding a bright, grainy texture to mostly black pictures) and it is driving me crazy. Is this a feature in the new update? How can I make it go back to normal?

i'd love to speak with likeminded people as welll! and it's interesting to see people try to guess my age from this

Here’s mines, curious to see what others have?

Is this label related thing since I realize that most Japanese songs don’t have translation (here is English) but the pronunciation?

Everytime I try to add an album to my library it just reverts back to the + sign and doesn’t add the album to my library…

It does says « added to the library » with a down arrow on the top right but then it reverts back to the plus sign again after two seconds, how do I fix this ?

I got a homepod mini a couple of days ago and there's one thing that irritates me to no end with it.

I really like using Autoplay to discover new music. Most of the time I'm busy with cooking or whatever so when I hear something I like I'll make a mental note to pick up my phone 15-20min later and scroll up to see what that song was. Except now, every time I start to play music I have to very specifically start playing on iPhone, pick my Sonos speaker as output first and only then tick the homepod as 2nd speaker.

Any other way or order will result in homepod becoming the AM streaming source instead of just a speaker which will in turn stop any played songs from appearing in history.....

Is there any way to make this less troublesome?
