Apple Music Settings On Mac



Hi z209,

Apple’s Music app for iOS is a bloated mess that still seems to lack advanced features. The Browse section, for example, is like turning on the actual radio. In the General tab, check the box next to iCloud Music Library to enable it.; Click OK.; Once ‌iCloud‌ Music Library is enabled on iOS devices, the Mac, or the PC, any Apple TV or Android. In the Music app on your Mac, select a song in the Music window. Choose Song Info, then click Options. Choose a setting from the equalizer pop-up menu. To choose presets for other songs, use the Next button or the Previous button in the bottom-left corner.


Thanks for reaching out in Apple Support Communities. I understand you're having trouble accessing and playing Apple Music that hasn't been previously downloaded to iTunes on your Mac and you're having trouble on your iPhone as well. I also see that you've noticed a message 'making your iCloud Music Library available' but it never completes. I know it's important to have access to songs you haven't downloaded, I'd like to help.
