Annoying question on iTunes

Folks, folks folks! Don't get too worked up over this. Next time you get this annoying message just select "Clear".

It doesn't clear your playlist or anything. And then, you will never see this message again.

Click "Clear" and it's sorted.

Well that’s annoying, about as clear as mud, and yet more actions needed to be taken by the user rather than the simple process of just listening to a **** song. The nerds at Apple know how to overthink the simplest of tasks and they definitely do not have the objective of eliminating clicks.

No offense sunrider999 but don’t tell others to not get worked up. Many of us are already suffering from notification anxiety. Apple and some other product makers (such as Audi) keep notifying on way too many items most of which we cannot turn off. For instance, I really don’t need my iPhone to tell me that my power is at 20%, would I like to go into power saving mode? Fuck you Apple! I’m a grown adult who is perfectly capable of checking the battery life. I’ve never run out of gas or had a device go dark because I didn’t realize it was drained. It’s tiring. This just one of many too examples of yet another notification that we have to put up with whether or not we want it.

Same here mine just started saying it out of no where , it’s never done this , and EVERYTIME I click a song it says this and I don’t know how to get it to stop I’ve used Apple Music for a long time then tonight out of no where it’s doing this how do I get it to stop

Why is there a queue referenced or used at all?

My playlist is my queue.

A queue could be useful to create a playlist on the fly--but I personally never do that..

This is annoying feature that has a confusing question leading one to believe that songs will be removed from the device after you play them--unless you tap "Keep".

I have personally made a fortune in AAPL and having owned many droids, I attest that it is a superior OS and device.

For me however, use of iTtunes (cross platform) is huge benefit for Apple devices--nothing like this exists in Android.

But this "feature" is TOTALLY ANNOYING and should be a OPTION--not a feature. A bad spec..

Hi agatebuster,

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. We understand you’re being prompted about your music queue within the Music app. We’re happy to help.

According to the article below, “If you play music that's not in your queue, you'll see an option to clear your music queue. If you choose Clear, then the music in your queue is replaced with the music you've selected to play.”

Add music to your queue to play next on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Android device

It is expected behavior to see that alert if you’re playing music that’s not in your queue.

We hope this helps.

Take care.

I deleted all my iTunes music due to how annoying this “feature” is, and will be canceling my student iTunes account this month for Spotify. I go to listen to music, I don’t need to be asked the same question several times a day every single day.

Whoever thought this was a good idea, needs to fired and never rehired in the field again.

ever since I updated iOS I also get ask for each question I play in my own custom play list. of course, I want to always keep playing and not clear the songs I created in my own custom play list. this why I create playlists so I can keep playing them over in a certain order. this is the most dumbest setting to have. either give us ability to set a default or remove it

This is SO *****'g Annoying! Where are you Apple.

Can I add EVERY SONG to MY queue?

Can I disable to queue

Can you make this a feature that can be turned off the first time you see it?

WTF?? I have not seen a helpful response from Apple about this.. Seems like this was noticed in October 2020?

What am I missing

There is one solution to this. Turn repeat song on. The Up next queue will still populate, but it disables the alert when you want to play something else because the next song is just going to be the one you just listened to.

gonna sound hella blunt, but stop complaining. its there doing its job. it only shows when you add a song to the queue. doesnt matter if its a playlist or not. if you dont want it, dont hit play next or play later. easy as that.

Whoever dreamed up this prompt should be fired. I’m starting to dread Apple software updates because people there keep coming up with ways to make intuitive, simple and enjoyable aps more and more nit-picky and complex. Their overseas-made products stop working right after their warranties are over, and their software is getting less and less user friendly, which used to be their hallmark. After all these years, I’m finally getting ready to move on from Apple next time I update my hardware.

I agree with the angry folks. The “feature” as it’s ironically referred to, is tedious an annoying. If someone actually likes this ability then give the rest of us the option to have a setting where we never have to see it.

Please remove this lack of function until you can make it work for the majority of your users.

I’m pretty sure of us work hard

(including programmers at Apple) are stressed and look forward to having a streamlined, simplified interface when want to relax with music. I know you folks at Apple are able to produce elegant code that could correct the oversight. It will be appreciate.

I have a somewhat similar issue with a nonstop popup. I can’t even play ONE song because a popup asking me to buy more Apple services appears EVERY TIME I hit the play button! We have a plan that we already pay for. I can’t stand it and am ready to deal with ads on Pandora and Spotify for free over this onslaught!

This is possibly the most annoying pointless useless feature Apple Music had ever had 🙄 if I hit CLEAR it deletes on single song then it seems like I hit SHUFFLE when the rest of my music plays even though I didn’t hit shuffle. I just want to listen to 1 album without it skipping or pausing songs 🙄 remove this feature NOW!
