Crossfade in Apple Music on iPhone

A feedback ? ok here's mine. So far I pay almost $40 a month for Apple One services. But knowing that Apple offers something to Android user that I can't have myself on an iPhone is ******* me off. So here's what I'll do : If the crossfade feature is not added within the next three months, I'll revert back to Tidal and I'll cancel all of Apple One manu militari. As easy as that...

It’s really pathetic that a technology company doesn’t have the simplest technology’s like cross fade on one of the most popular phones. Apple in my opinion is consistently behind the 8ball with things lately and the one thing they were known for which is user friendliness and consistent performance.

The major issue that I have with Apple is that they force you to do what they think that you want to do instead of giving you the option to do thing differently. Let’s be honest, the Music desktop app is a mess. You can’t click on the artist name to access it’s page so you have to do a search, then click on the name, click on the discography to access an album. A lot of clicks for something fairly basic. The “back button” is not operable if you leave the artist page and want to come back immediately ! You need to repeat the search and on and on...So stupid ! I have a 2200+ songs playlist on Spotify that I wanted to transfert on Apple Music. Do you have any idea how much time it took me with these procedures of multiple clicks and searches ??? On Spotify, you just click the artist name and access the full discography in two seconds. And the “back button” works like a charm.

Another issue that I have. If you want to listen to a song on your Sonos, you have to add it on a playlist first, then open the Sonos app, open Apple Music, click “my music”, find the playlist, and click it, click the song and THEN enjoy the music...On Spotify, click the song, click the Bluetooth icon and there you go...you can enjoy the song in two clicks. Why is it so simple in Stockholm and so complicated in Cupertino ?

I came to the point where I don’t see any advantages in opting for Apple Music instead of Spotify. And since I don’t really care about News and News+ Or Arcade, I don’t really see the need to keep my Apple One membership. Too bad...

I feel like innovation is leaving apple. They are getting further and further behind because they have this arrogance about them. Because they do have the largest market cap/share. My phone has been nothing but glitchy from day one (iPhone 12) The Apple TV’s I have are problematic and glitchy as well. I can say my MacBook Pro is great. And my mini’s. I have a total of 16 devices of apple but this is starting to fade (pun intended). I see some very interesting features on Samsung products that I’m just confused why the great apple doesn’t have

SongShift is a fantastic free app in the App Store. Easy to set up and use, and the basis free version song transfer speeds are brilliant… Only the playlists are transferred not the actual tracks, you have to rebuild the playlists at their new destination.

It sounds VERY “funny” to those who are laughing their way to the bank... That and dropping Motorola processors for INTEL JUNK is a slap in the face too. The only reason I wanted a PowerPC processor at half the ghz rating is because they’re so much more efficient. So why then did Apple drop them and go wirh intel? Things like this and the price and the hype and especially the engineered obsolescence are such hard slaps to my face I’ll end up buying anything else. I wish it wasn’t so, Apple haven’t been the same for a decade so instead you’re a shareholder they don’t care. Cheers Apple, you’ve given non-Apple users ammo for their arguments well beyond compatibility these days

It was interesting to read how you feel about Apple’s decision but why have you posted it in a discussion about not having crossfading when using iOS Apple Music? It would have been better to start your own discussion to prevent other folks adding their thoughts to what you said in your post in completely the wrong discussion.

Im actually looking to purchase a new phone. Knowing this and Android able to cross fade Apple songs, I might have to switch. I’m just amazed something so small can make a big difference. Unless, are there plans in the near future for this ability?

Those are all great but they all cost mo money. I’m already paying a lot to Apple of the actual phone, subscriptions, etc. AlI ask is for cross fade. It’s what helps keep the party going on already great quality music. A simple feature that can make all the difference in the world. I wonder if me saying all this is going to make Apple install this feature at a cost for us. :)

not working with macbook big sur 2021. we have to request this feature, engineers say, "this is not expected to work anymore" which makes apple music non musical to me. Crossfade is a basic musical function. It's still in the app, but will not be transmitted on airplay, only on my headphone jack. But who is not wireless these days? We have to request https://support.apple.com/en-au/guide/music/muse5e9ec085/mac

NO.... not working. big sur crossfade not working with apple music not working in my library and the paid subscription.... it's is not transmitted to airplay anymore... I have to use my old macbook 2009 as hi fi player...

While this thread has to do with crossfade using iOS on the iPhone, you bring up an issue that some of us who are not using Big Sur may not have been aware of. I had posted one way to use iTunes on Big Sur but it was deleted but if you search around, you probably can find the app for that.

How much longer will we ask man. Seems like we have been asking for crossfading on iphone apple music for ages. Android apple music has it, computer apple music, spotify too not to mention. Can we please get it. Lol nobody cares about any other updates done to apple music but cross fading. Please we beg.

I think that all we as Apple Music users would like is some word that this is in the works but we have yet to get any feedback from Apple. The only thing we get is announcements on new features that have little to do with what their loyal customers want.

Dear Apple….as promised three months ago, I just canceled my Apple One membership few minutes ago. I went back to Spotify where the word « crossfade » is not an obscure concept. BTW, your Apple Music app for MAC is an absolute mess. I’m glad I won’t have to force myself to like it anymore…
