Weird question, but I'm on my iPad mini and Apple Music isn't letting me sort albums under the artist view by date instead of name. If I go to Artists on my phone there's a "sort" button, but it doesn't exist on my iPad

Just checked on my Air 2 and no sort there either.

That seems like a huge, huge oversight. Is there any way at all to list albums by date instead of name on an iPad?

Not that I have found. Admittedly I don't ever listen to music on my iPad, I just looked into it because of your post, but noting I tried resulted in being able to sort albums by date.

Hadn't even realised you could do this on iPhone. Life changed.

Hey guys, I didn't want to start a whole new topic just to ask one question, so I figured someone in here might know. My iPhone says that I have 3.9GB of storage left, whereas my iTunes says that my phone has 5.14GB of storage left. Has anyone had this issue before, and is there a way to make it so that they both say the same thing?
I've tried searching on Reddit and Google, and have yet to find a solution to this problem. The text on the program is fine but when loading the iTunes Store or the Apple Music pages, the text is blurry and barely readable. I've tried the DPI options trick in Properties but that hasn't fixed the issue.

You're on Windows, yes?
That would be correct, Windows 10 to be specific.
I've had this issue and I think I talked about it in here. It is 100% the DPI options, but it's not in properties. It's the Windows wide setting for your Display. If it's not set to 100% it becomes blurry and shitty. You need to change it back in Control Panel, but it will make the rest of the stuff on your screen smaller.
Hmmmmmmm that seems right....it's definitely related to that, but don't know why it's not fixed for you. You also checked the setting in the properties correct? Maybe try the stuff mentioned here
https://www.groovypost.com/howto/fix-fuzzy-windows-10-fonts-high-resolution-displays/
I downloaded it and tried both fixes. Neither worked. From what I was told somewhere else is that it's possible that the last Windows release that covered issues with high DPI settings didn't cover the Store pages. I guess I'll just put up with it for a little while longer and hope they fix the store issue.

I did read that the newest version of iTunes had some DPI issues

So now that I'm finally on a carrier that offers unlimited data I decided to sign up for the three-month trial of Apple Music.
Can someone give me the lowdown on what exactly "iCloud Music Library" entails? Everything I'm reading on it makes it sound like something I'm not particularly interested in as I have no problem with just leaving my music on my Mac and iPhone respectively for playback plus I feel like that'll eat up more data on my phone than necessary as it'll keep pulling music from the internet instead of on the phone itself. (I save $10 if I use less than 2GB of data a month from T-Mobile.)

It's just your music library, but saved into the cloud. It enables you to see the same library across any device that you enabled it for.
If you have physical files already on your phone they will remain there. You can also download any Apple Music tracks so that it doesn't use your data.
If you don't enable it, I don't think that you can add tracks to your library. You can only search and play at that moment

What happens if I add an Apple-made playlist to my library? I remember when Apple Music first launched, doing this literally added each song to my iTunes library, which was totally stupid if I didn't have any of the artists in the playlist already in my library. Suddenly I've got 30 new artists in my library each with one song. I don't want that.
Is it still the same? What I want to happen is, I click the Add button and it just adds the playlist to my list of playlists, but doesn't add any of it to my actual library. For instance, I want easy quick access to "The A-List: Rock" but I don't want it all added to my library. And if it's updated every week, will more and more artists just keep being added to my library?
I can't even test it easily because I don't want to click that Add button and find out that they were all added - then I gotta go through my library and delete them all one at a time.

In my experience, clicking add only adds the playlist to your Playlists tab. It has not been adding any of the individual songs to my library.

Same, but I should note that I have "Add Playlist Songs to Library" turned off

Why are all my playlists missing tons of songs rn.
I signed out and back in, still tons of songs missing (not grayed out)
Are you browsing downloaded music only and not every song in the playlists is in your phone?
Oh, I see this on iTunes on my MPB. The playlists on my phone seem fine, but I can't seem to edit them. I just get the spinner in the top right after removing a song and selecting Done.
Edit: It's back to normal today, not sure what was going on yesterday. whew

YESSSSSSSSS
But how will it determine your "Favorites"? Anybody you follow? I can work with that.
Anybody else dislike how they organize the "Playlist" now? They put the Apple Music playlists first, above your own. Before it was Smart Playlist first and then normal playlists, and the AM playlists would be mixed in with the normal ones. Now I have to scroll past AM ones to get to my smart :/
Alright, so I'm into the new social stuff. Feel free to add me (you need to visit the link from iOS 11):

No collaborative playlists is 😞
Seriously. And an iTunes replacement. These two are holding me back from switching back.

They took a good step with having profiles that have playlists on it that people can follow and subscribe to. And when someone is with you theres a collaborative queue that multiple people can contribute to. So the pieces are right there
I know you can share Playlists with someone, can they not edit it and you see it on your end? Haven't tested that

Neither have I. Are you on the beta? Want to give it a go?
Nah I meant on OS10. I share my playlist with the gf, I'll have her remove a song from it and see what happens.
Yes you can share a playlist but they can't edit it. They can add it to a new playlist and edit that. What is nice now though is then when you edit the shared playlist the edits will show up for them also.
here is my profile.. nothing major, though I use AM literally every day for hours

Following. You have good taste
So I've added people in here, and people who follow them (or are being followed).. the surfacing from Friends is pretty decent. I don't think anyone has created new playlists so I'm curious to see how that surfaces.
One disappointment is Apple STILL hasn't fixed (at least completely) pre-order albums turning on on release date. So I added Imagine Dragons a few weeks ago. Today, most of the songs are still grayed out if I access it from my library.. but if I access it from the New Music section, all the songs are fine and the album shows as in my library.

Yeah, this continues to piss me off. Been like this from Day 1.
Apple Music on the latest iTunes (macOS Sierra): just wondering if anyone can replicate this weird bug, couldn't find anything online. Basically you just need to go to a playlist you created, then search for something (anything really) in the search box on the upper right, look around the Apple Music section, then go back to your playlist, which will be void for some reason.
I'll just upload a video on youtube to show it to you, it's easier this way: https://youtu.be/Llh-X3SA0xw
When I quit iTunes and then open it again the tracks are all there, there's no real loss of tracks or music.
It also happened once with the whole library, when I went searching on Apple Music while I was on the main library page, so it's not limited to playlists.
To be honest I'm sick of this bugs, I just went with the 3 months for 10 on Spotify summer offer, I'll check back Apple Music on September on the new iOS and maybe High Sierra.

Someone on reddit says they now get a My Chill Mix popping up alongside My New Music Mix and My Favorites Mix. Id love for there to be as many mixes as possible but Im not getting this one. Anyone got it?
