Crossfade in Apple Music on iPhone

Apple take care of your loyal customers/users and add this functionality to iPhones. It’s criminal that android users have this functionality but iPhone users don’t! It’s was before but was taken away. I just can’t fathom why you would take better care of your android users than your iPhone iOS users 🤦🏻‍♂️

This feature is LONG overdue. It should be available on our accounts and apply across all platforms rather than being app-dependent and restricted to the macOS version. I would like to see this and all music settings apply to the account rather than having to be set in each app.

Crossfade really is such a basic function for a music streaming service, it is quite astonishing Apple did not have it available at launch. I switched from Deezer to Apple Music six months ago, as part of an Apple One subscription. However like others, I am close switching back.

Hoy 30/07/2021, estoy transfiriendo mis listas a Apple music, me canse de esperar que se decidan colocarlo en iOS. Como amante de la creación de listas, le veía a este servicio como el ideal ya que te da mucha información de la música que escuchas, pero carece de un servicio que le brindas a otros sistemas operativos, llámese tu máximo rival Android en smartphone o Windows en Pc es muy frustrante. Dije, bueno me comprare un SAMSUNG para beneficiarme del servicio, pero tb encuentro errores en la versión, no, en el crossfade sino en la interface misma. Soy usuario de Apple Music desde el 2017 y desde entonces estoy aguardando, cuando leí que se estaba probando la función en Android, dije ALELUYA!🤩 Pero quede como payaso🤡 un año mas... Creo que la única forma que Apple se ponga en campaña de mejorar el servicio es si hay una salida masiva en la suscripción.

Entonces dejo como constancia.

Yo, como usuario fiel de Apple, *** casi todo el ecosistema, iPhone, iPad, iPod y Apple wath, estoy pensando bajarme de la marca. Es más ya comencé la primeras pruebas en Android (vamos bien) inclusive pude replicar la disposición de las apps que tengo en mi iPhone. Y creo que si *** este iOS 15 que llegaría, no hay mejoras en este apartado, seria la botella que colmaría el vaso, como se dice vulgarmente.

I noticed today that Apple Music was cross-fading some of my songs - not all but only some. Seems to be a new feature as I hadn't heard it do that before. I've got a Motorola One Vision running Android One so it might be only Android phones capable of this? Would seem a bit stupid though of Apple to improve their own apps on a rivals phone and yet leave their own users without the ability!

there's no question that apple should allow cross fade + beat matching.

they should also allow songs to advance after 3min or whatever.

they make tools to create playlists for parties, but then the user has to take focus away from the party to change the song every 3min

apple probably has economic and rights related reasons for not doing it, but its killing the vibe of this app, and is a main reason for music lovers to switch to spotify

I thought finally to make the switch from Spotify after a million years to Apple Music. Imagine my horror to realize that you can’t have gapless playback?? Plus Spotify has a real EQ that you can adjust and makes most “modern” music sound good enough (vs lossless). Not gonna be around Apple Music for long. Jeez.

So what you’re telling us is that android users get a feature for APPLE Music before apple users? You don’t see an issue with that. You want your customers to be loyal to apple but then s**t on your customers like this. Why on earth would you make it possible for an android but not the phone and platform that the app was actually designed for? Makes a lot of sense. You guys need to get your s**t together or you’re going to lose a lot of customers and trust me I work for a phone carrier and the things you guys are and aren’t doing to your customers is causing them to switch all the time.

What rights? They already have the right to distribute that music, and we already have the right to listen to it. No special rights are needed to turn the volume up or down, or to cut a few seconds off each track.

No, it's not quite the same. It would be more like displaying said Van Gogh in a different lighting.

Besides, the same files, having the same DRM, can be crossfaded just fine on macOS, which is also managed by Apple. So even if we assume that some special rights were necessary for this operation, Apple already has them.

Also, the iOS app doesn't even crossfade the MP3 files that you own, and which did not come from Apple Music and have no DRM attached.

So no, I'm not convinced. There's no point in contriving elaborate explanations for what could be easily explained by laziness and indifference to users' wishes, the latter of which has always been a defining characteristic of Apple. Occam's razor.

Hey apple, I am a trusted user for your products. And I also know that you have other things that you are trying to tweak and such. But while you’re doing so this subject does need to be recognized. As you might already know, Android users are able to cross fade music on your app so why can’t your Loyal companions “us” have the same luxury as well?

-Concerned citizen of the apple community.

Even Spotify has Crossfade. Why in the world would IOS not have Crossfade, especially when leading apps and hardware have this simple option?

I’ve waited long enough for Apple to fix this ridiculous situation. I’ve started to merge my music playlist on Spotify and my Apple One membership will expire next month.

Yes I agree Spotify is winning the game in my opinion. I as well have transitioned to Spotify and I will be canceling my family plan from apple.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
