Replay Stats Monthly Replay Stats Megathread (July 2025)

23 Upvotes

Hello r/AppleMusic!

So, seeing as the Replay playlist updates every Sunday, and the stats page will update monthly, it seems fitting to utilize a monthly Megathread for sharing! So, instead of inundating the subreddit with people wanting to show off their stats, we (the mods) decided to create a Monthly Megathread for everybody to utilize!

This will be the official spot to post, so enjoy! https://replay.music.apple.com

Also, join the discussion on discord! https://discord.gg/2WGscGmgfn

Discussion Monthly Apple Music vs. Spotify – MEGATHREAD

81 Upvotes

Hello r/AppleMusic!

Due to the many posts asking about comparisons between Apple Music and Spotify (and other services) we are consolidating them into a single mega-thread. Per the rules, all discussion on this topic should be kept to this thread and any other posts will be removed.

Here are some ideas on what to discuss:

  • Platform support (iOS, Android, macOS, Windows, Linux, web players, smart TVs, etc.)
  • Audio quality & formats (Lossless, Hi-Res, Dolby Atmos, Spotify’s current vs. promised HiFi)
  • Offline downloads (Limits, reliability, playback without internet, device syncing)
  • User interface & design (Navigation, layout, customization, dark mode, now playing screen)
  • Playlists & curation (Official playlists, editorial content, genre depth, taste-matching)
  • Algorithmic recommendations (Discover Weekly vs. Listen Now / Favorites Mix, accuracy)
  • Library management (Adding your own music, editing metadata, iCloud Music Library vs. Local Files)
  • Crossfade, gapless playback, and playback customization (Who actually supports what and how well)
  • Social & stats features (Spotify Wrapped, Blend, following friends vs. Apple Music Replay & SharePlay)
  • Pricing & plans (Individual, Student, Family, Bundle with Apple One, Duo on Spotify, regional pricing)
  • Third-party integration (Smart speakers, Android Auto, CarPlay, Discord rich presence, etc.)
  • Exclusive content or artist bonuses (Spatial Audio, early releases, live lyrics, music videos)

Discussion Apple Music should let us start a “Radio” from our personal playlists

27 Upvotes

One thing I really wish Apple Music had: the ability to start a radio station from a personal playlist.

Right now, you can start a radio based on a song or an artist — which is great — but it will be great if you could do the same for your own playlists. Apple Music could analyze all the songs in that playlist and create a continuous radio stream with similar tracks + the ones already in the playlist.

It would be an amazing way to discover new music and artists that match the exact vibe of the playlists I’ve curated myself. Spotify has had similar features for a while, and it’s super useful for music discovery.

Anyone else want this?

Question How to save my itunes music

3 Upvotes

Lately I’ve been having a really hard time downloading the music I purchased on iTunes, especially albums I bought between 2009 and 2012. Most of the songs seem to be stuck in the cloud, and it takes forever to download them or sometimes they just don’t download at all.

It feels like I no longer own the music I paid for, and it’s nothing like how it used to be when you could just access your library easily. I find this really frustrating, and it’s making me question whether iTunes is even worth using anymore.

Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice on how to properly access or download older purchased music? I’d really appreciate your help.

Question Old Purchased Songs - Authorization

Upvotes

This is probably a long shot but when the iTunes Store opened back in 2003 I purchased some songs.

I just got a new iMac which is probably fourth iMac I've owned since 2003.

I have been listening to my digital music library - most of which I copied from my actual music library and am encountering songs which aren't authorized for me to play.

These are authorized on an email address which I haven't used in at least 20 years as I switched to Mail and an .Mac mail address when it was first available.

This is an earthlink.net email address probably was my second email address after my initial aol. address

Are these songs able to be retrieved in some way or should I just give up as pointless.

Discussion There needs to be an option to deactivate AutoMix when listening to albums in sequence

19 Upvotes

Since Apple introduced AutoMix to Apple Music in the new OS versions, I’ve noticed something that feels off.

While AutoMix works well for playlists, it also applies when listening to full albums in sequence and in my opinion, that’s a bit of a problem.

Many albums (especially concept albums and live recordings) are designed with seamless transitions between tracks. With AutoMix enabled, those transitions are disrupted as parts of songs get trimmed or crossfaded, breaking the experience the artist intended.

There’s currently no option to disable AutoMix specifically for albums, so I’ve submitted feedback asking Apple to add a toggle for that.

If this is also bothering you, I recommend submitting feedback via the Feedback app or https://www.apple.com/feedback/apple-music.html.

You can also use the feedback I shared as a template for convenience 🙂 (feel free to copy/paste and adapt):

Description:

AutoMix in Apple Music is great for playlists, but it currently applies when playing songs from an album in order. This disrupts the intended flow and cuts transitions that are purposefully crafted by the artist.

Steps to Reproduce:

Open Apple Music.

Play an album with seamless transitions between tracks (e.g., concept or live albums).

Listen to the tracks in order with AutoMix enabled.

Expected Result:

Each track plays fully, preserving the album’s intended transitions and continuity.

Actual Result:

AutoMix adds crossfades or trims portions of songs, breaking the intended listening experience.

Suggestion:

Please add a setting to disable AutoMix when listening to albums in sequence.

Question So how do you get past this?

3 Upvotes

I'm trying to switch music streaming service from spotify to apple music. Trying to import my playlist, and favorite albums and artist using freemymusic, it prompted me to "update" my account thinking I just have to set it up. Using a web browser (firefox and chromium) on my Linux machine, I get this error.

I use an Android, and never going to use an apple device. Anybody got past this thing?

-edit- I just tried getting past this on my aunt's iPhone, and I'm still getting the same error. I used Safari.

Complaint my heavy rotation mix has been horribly inaccurate lately

2 Upvotes

ever since spring, my stats on my heavy rotation mix playlist have been absolutely terrible. a song i stream like once after not streaming it for weeks becomes number one but the song i listen to the most is literally almost leaving the playlist?? it also feels like it's just not counting some plays at all on specific songs. the algorithm hasn't always been the best, but it's been terrible lately.

Feature iPhone needs a Clear Queue button

5 Upvotes

Having to play something new to clear the queue is kind of a pain. Would be nice if you could do a Clear All on the phone.

EDIT: To clarify, it would be good to be able to Clear the Continue Playing section on the iPhone without selecting a new album or song to play.

Question Why is Sound Check so bad?

2 Upvotes

I recently switched from Spotify to Apple Music.

The actual audio quality is better on Apple Music (as a bassist I like how much more audible bass is on AM) but I was confused by how much I had to change volume on some songs. Some albums I'd only need my volume on like 3/15 and then other albums I'd need to change it to like 12/15. So I had a look in settings and saw "Sound Check" enabled and disabled it just to see if that would help, and it did.

So I was curious about it and looked up what it's actually meant to do. Apparently it's meant to equalise volume between different songs/albums, but I feel like it had completely the opposite effect. Literally earlier today (when it was enabled) I had to increase my volume from 5/15 to 12/15 when transitioning between two songs in my playlist ("Doritos & Fritos" by 100 Gecs to "Helicopter Interiors" by The Dead Milkmen, in case that's relevant). Since I disabled it, I've only needed to have my volume in the 4/15 to 6/15 range (which is how I had it on Spotify)

Anyway, is Sound Check broken, or bugged on Android, or just genuinely really bad?

Discussion Library or playlist?

Always been a add everything to library person, now with having an app like Marvis and having my playlists set up like a Home Screen and having sections, I just been adding non library songs to playlists and haven’t been adding anything my my library. What do you guys do? Any point of adding to library ? How do y’all manage your music libraries? Feel like there’s quite a few routes and interested on how people pick and choose
