[All Platforms][Your Music] option to hide "following" artists in your music

i follow a lot of artists, or at least i used to. but an artist you are following shows up in "your music" right alongside artists you have music saved from. it really tends to clutter up my library. i would like an option to hide artists you are "following" from the artists view in "your music"

[Your Music] Save artist including all albums and future albums

There should be a quick and easy way to add an artist to your collection completely—not just all their albums now, but the albums they release in the future. Then when you are browsing through Your Music later you'll discover new things from your favourite artists.

I'm new to spotify and after seeing I can add my own music, was about to subscribe. However I tested it for a bit first and was dismayed to see there's no option to add everything from an artist to my music (neither streaming nor locally). Just to clarify, it would be nice for me because I want to have all the music I like on my phone, using a big SD card, and play it all together randomly like a radio station with only artists that I like. And since I've never used spotify for real before, it would be horrible to add album by album. I just want to listen to the few artists I like, everything they have old and new as gets released! Spotify already lets me add my own music for the ones not available, save locally, create playlists and get notified about new releases. The only thing that's missing is a way to add everything from an artist.

Songs saved in playlists need to show up In the New Categories under 'Your Music"

I pretty much used to use the Spotify Playlist function to save albums. Now that the new Your Music Feature is out I cansave songs. The problem is....all the work that I did creating these playlists now goes to waste. I know their are a huge number of users who did this. Is there a way to convert these playlists into Artists, Songs, and Playlists? They dont show up in any of them at all now. I dont understand why these would be completely separate and not integrated.

First - I totally agree that the separation of playlists and 'your music' is ridiculous. It's annoying that all the work I put into creating playlists has to be done again.
After reading this thread, it appears that in order to get your playlists to appear in your music you just drag and drop the album over. Am I doing something wrong? Dragging and dropping the playlist or the album into 'your music' does nothing. see screencast.
anyone else try any spotify competitors and have better luck? considering switching.

HT201263 What happens when you follow all the steps in this article, but your 4s repeatedly gives you an error code (9) and you've changed cords AND computers and nothing is working???

My mom passed me her phone as she couldn't get it to restart. I got it to charge and restart in recovery mode. However, I've tried all steps on this and many other forums and it is stuck in "trying to restore". On the phone, it will blink a white screen, show the apple logo and a progress bar then quickly disappear then on the computer give me error code 9. I have tried 3 different cords, on both my MacBook Air and my iMac. Same results on both computers. She purchased a new phone as she couldn't do without, but would love to fix this phone and give to one of my children. This phone has not been jailbroken. Any help would be sooooo appreciated! Not sure what will happen if I try to take this to Apple.

For stated error see this
Error 9
This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.
Quite likely that multi-pin dock connector of the iPhone requires cleaning or closer inspection.

New release availability?

Hi all,
Afater a movie has been release on DVD, how long do we have to wait before it's available on AppleTV for rental? I saw that you can buy some right away, but I want to know about rentals.
Thanks in advance.
Michael

Hi everyone,
Thank you very much for your quick response. I thought that's how the process works.
I remember back when Rentals was announced that somewhere it said 3 days, then new releases would be available.
Thank you again.
Michael

A "real" new releases list?

I want to be able to find new releases and it is impossible.
Yes you have new releases on your menus but they don't show up any new material. Well maybe one or two a week but that's all. There is loads of music being released every week that is impossible to find on your store.
I don't care what you think is "featured", or what is on big labels. What is the point of adding music to your store then not telling anybody it is there? It is like having a record shop with a hidden door to the room where most of the music you are selling that nobody is going to find.
I want to be able to ideally make a list of:
- New pop, rock, indie, alternative, folk or whatever music. Just not dance.
- New meaning new. Out this week. Not newly added to iTunes but actually newly released.
Finding a definitive list of new releases is being made harder and harder by yourselves, who are continually not listing what is out.

We are not Apple here. We are just users like you. This is a user to user technical support forum. If you want to send feedback to Apple, do so here:

Your Music: Make all saved albums available offline button

I recently emptied my cache etc. After that, I had to download all 35 albums by hand. It would be so much more pleasant if I could download them all with just ONE button ;) ;)

Hello and welcome to the community!
Just a few questions before we can give your idea a proper status:
- Which platform would you like to see this on (Desktop, mobile, etc)
- When you're talking about albums, do you mean the saved albums in 'Your Music'? So you want a "Make all saved albums available offline" button? Or have you saved those albums as playlist?

Your Music -- Album View under Artists [iOS]

When navigating the "artists" menu under "Your Music," please group the albums together when there is more than one so we can quickly find and play a specific album, rather than just placing all the songs by that aritsts in a list.

The new update to Spotify is a massive step forward for me. No longer will I scroll down and down and down and down to find a new album in my playlists. Brilliant!
But...Something is still missing.
The problem with the current versio of "Your Music" is that you can loose the ability to enjoy the music as the artisit indeeded, via their album. They spend days deciding what order to have the album, and with the current version of Spotify it makes it harder for you to pick out an album from the new "Your Music". All you can do is read the name under each track and work it out from there.
This is a simple fix for me. Just make the "Your Music" artisit page the same as the "Artist" page. Group the songs by album and allow is to play an album on its own.

Is there a way to auto sync playlists while manually managing your music?

I used to use WMP11 before I bought an iPod and used iTunes, and in that I was able to auto sync playlists to my Samsung dap, as well as being able to manually drag tracks/albums to it.
Since using iTunes, I have found it is not as accessible in this regard. Of course, you can opt to manually manage your music, but if you do this, it does not auto sync any info. This means that if I drag a playlist to my iPod and alter it at a later stage by adding more tracks, it won't alter it on the iPod unless I manually replace it with the amended one. It also means that any ratings that I set on my iPod do NOT get transfered to the tracks in iTunes when connected.
What I have done is set a playlist called 'iPod Tracks' in iTunes, and have dragged any extra albums to my iPod using that, as well as the smart playlist 'Top Tracks'. But the disadvantage of this is, if I drag a few songs from an album into my 'iPod Tracks' playlist, then later decide I want the whole album and drag that over, I end up with two of the same tracks in the playlist, which makes it look very untidy (although I am aware only one of each track will be on the iPod) so it is not ideal.
Surely there must be a way to auto sync playlists so that when you amend them in iTunes it does so on the iPod too, as well as manually drag over any extra tracks/albums you want without having a messy playlist work-around like I have done.
Any help/ideas?
Thanks in advance.

There is no way to sync content back to itunes. As you are aware there are a couple of unsupported ways to recover your content, you will need to decide if your content is valuable enough to go down this route.
If so and you are not comfortable with the procedures, I suggest taking the unit to a data recovery specialist with mac experience.

[Desktop][Your Music] Option: Order artists in Your Music by number of songs

I'd love to be able to sort artists by number of songs. That way I have some idea of which artists that I've +-d I want to listen to most, or have the most songs I like the most. It could then be sorted by album within the songs. Thanks very much and please let me know if this ever is incorporated.

If your Lightroom 6 is crashing in the Slideshow module, check the SAMPLE RATE of your music track

After spending over 2 hours with an Adobe technician who had control over my Windows 7 machine, I've learned something that I don't think Adobe knows yet... I upgraded from LR 5.7 to LR 6 (not CC) and began having issues when I was working in the Slideshow module. When trying to add a music track, Lightroom would crash ("unexpectedly quit"). I couldn't for the life of me figure out why. I turned off the GPU since a fair amount of chatter on the forum related to that, but it didn't change anything.
So I finally waited patiently for the Adobe Chat line to finally get a tech to respond...and he was exceptionally detailed and methodical in his approach to diagnosing my issues. I could follow on my screen as he did a variety of things that indicated he understood what he was doing. Unfortunately he got to a point where he thought (as did I) that he had found the problem/solution...which he thought was related to the bit rate. He concluded that music with a Variable Bit Rate (VBR) as opposed to a Constant Bit Rate (CBR) was causing the problem. Also unfortunate was that this "discovery" was near the 2-1/2 hour mark and we did not apply the scientific method to property determine if we had narrowed down to cause/effect.
Based on my further analysis, he was close, but not right on. It isn't the BIT rate mode that is causing the crash, but rather the SAMPLE rate. Turns out that the vast majority of songs in my iTunes library have a sample rate of 44.100 kHz--and those work just fine. However, I have about 15 songs, mostly downloaded as free background music from the YouTube creation library, that have a sample rate of 48.000 kHz--every single one of those cause my LR6 to crash.
If you're having a problem with Lightroom crashing in the Slideshow module, check the SAMPLE RATE of your music track.

If you're on Windows, check out a free program called Audacity--it's fantastic. With Audacity the process of converting a 48.000 kHz to 44.100 kHz is as simply as opening, changing the sample rate, and then exporting again, as an MP3.

How do you browse the catalog by release date? I would like to see all the new releases in specific catagories but it seems that feature went away. Or can you browse the whole catalog by release date?

It appears that you can not browse the catalog by release date or see all the new additions to the catalog.

[All Platforms][Your Music] Make it possible to tag and filter "My Music" with user-defined tags

It would be very nice and convenient to be able to tag and filter "My Music" (playlists, songs, albums and artists) with user-defined tags. I'm sure quite a few users would like to classify their music by genre. Myself, I would like to tag my albums, assigning them to different virtual collections.
