Play random music plexamp11/14/2023 Music Page: “Sync Music” checked and then “Entire music library” radio button is selected. Summary Page Options Section: All unchecked Anyway I just connect my iDevices to my iMac via an USB cable to sync. If I go past iOS 14.4.2, I’ll lose access to that app. I can’t go past iOS 14.4.2 because of one critical app that I use. I just continue to sync with iTunes 12.6.3.5. Paul, I too am stuck at High Sierra on my iMac but I have all my music on my iPhone 10 (iOS 14.4.2), my iPad Mini 5 (iOS 14.4.2), and on my “iPod 3GS” (iOS 6.1.6). There’s even a ton of songs in it’s “library” which has to mean at their music service.Īm I totally out of luck? 2 issues, how can I copy, say 30-40G of my music to the tablet and what/how can I play FROM that collection? A potential third question involves all the meta data I have tied up in my iTunes library on the desktop, but that is honestly less of a concern. It seems everything, but everything in the iOS Music app is 100% tied into their paid music service. I figure I should be able to figure this out… BUT I can not. Simple, take a big chunk of the library I already own and get it rolling on my iPad. Have NO interest in any monthly charge music services no matter from where. My modern day investment (considerable) is in the 12.9" iPad Pro (oh, that screen!). My cMP desktop is stuck at High Sierra what with what Cupertino refusing to even allow nVidia drivers (and I have an big investment in such a GPU, which, btw, works fabulously for my gaming needs running win10). On top of that, music is increasingly disposable.Long story, but I’m kinda old school… way back in the day, I got a LOT of CDs, ripped them all into my digital library (about 75G worth!). The reason iTunes has become irrelevant is because not even Apple care about it anymore and I doubt anybody that works there even remembers what it was for. Nobody is going to provide the solution you are looking for because everybody else is listening to YouTube or Spotify. Nobody maintains and organizes their own MP3 collection anymore, except you and me and half a dozen other people. What you are asking for is a futuristic solution to a irrelevant problem. You'll have to do it yourself or not bother. Likewise you aren't going to get anything that can organise your music the way you want. Basically, they are holding the technology hostage and the only way to access it is to give up your privacy. But the only way I can access it is to upload everything to google, adobe, apple, microsoft… which I'm not going to do. It would be nice to think that some AI could just categorize everything for you, and in theory that is possible, but we will never get tools like that we can use yourself outside of online services.įor 15 years I've been wanting AI I can use to organize my photos and documents. What you want doesn't exist, except where online services have that information, probably mostly in playlists somebody else created or generated by algorithms to generate add revenue and clicks. Then if something goes horribly wrong with the tags, you can at least know what the file is from the Well then everybody else gave you the right answer. I'd also recommend renaming all your files with a consistent scheme, MP3Tag and Picard will both do that. If you are picky about your genre categories, I'd suggest using the notes tag for stuff like that, it's what I do. Apple will 'correct' certain tags automatically and there is nothing you can do about it. Or even iTunes if you can stand it (Apple are doing their best to destroy this once great app). is my favorite for fixing MP3 Tags, but is good to. Here's a list of music players, some of which may have tagging capabilities At the moment I am using Strawberry but am considering a switch to Foobar2000 Usually this is done by creating a smart playlist, or whatever the app calls it. To develop the point further, if your MP3s are tagged properly, and decent media player will let you sort or filter based on tags. The only reply that came close to answering OP's question.
