Apple Music Library Songs List

Does anyone know why Music Videos appear within the Songs Library List when there is a separate Library List for Music Videos? When I look at the “Kind” field, MPEG-4 video files are being included. Shouldn’t they be excluded from the list?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.1

Tesla Apple Music integration In the last Tesla software update, Apple Music integration has been added. However explicit content cannot be played although I have it allowed on every device of mine and even on Apple Music website. Anyone has any idea how to toggle explicit content filtering off?

Shazam iphone APP library sync issues. Shazam website library stopped synching with Shazam APP Hi everyone, my Shazam iOS APP stopped synching tagged tracks with Shazam library website and have several other issues, as follows: The last tagged tracks that the Shazam website is showing in its library is dated 17th July 2022 - but i have tagged several many other tracks after this date, which are visibile in the Shazam iOS APP. Total number of tracks that Apple Music Website (music.apple.com) Shazam Playlist is showing is 100. Why is this? Note: I have an active Apple Music Subscription. My Shazam iOS APP has 3117 tagged tracks, and in iTUNES (Microsft APP - PC), it only counts / shows / 2685 tracks under "My Shazam Playlist". The tracks that are missing from ITUNES are NOT the latest tagged tracked, but some of the many other ones. There are 432 missing tracks! I requested all data that Shazam stores about my profile to be sent to me by email, i requested this here: https://www.shazam.com/privacy/login/download. The file includes all tagged tracks, and indeed the last track that was saved is the one I tagged on the 17th of July 2022. However...if I click in "Settings, then Diagnostic Report" in the Shazam iOS APP, the generated report confirms I have tagged 3117 tracks, so it seems the Shazam servers are not even saving any more of my tagged tracks, since 17th of July 2022. The following is all the things i tried so far: 1) Deleted the Shazam APP (including its data on my iPhone) and re-installed it 2) Disabled the "Sync Shazam to apple Music" option, within the Shazam iOS APP, then restarted my iphone, then re-enabled the option 3) Disconnected and Re-connected Apple Music, from my Shazam website account (also signed out and signed back in again) 4) Re-installed iTunes Microsoft APP (v12.12.71) 5) Signed-out and signed back on, from Media & Purchases, from within my Apple ID, in my iPhone settings 6) Disabled and Re-enabled "Sync Library" option in my Apple Music APP, in iPhone Settings All of the above options (done multiple times) have had zero effect and have not resolved my issues. I contacted Apple Support, and they also have been unable to fix the issues. They are saying I should contact Shazam Support, but do not know how to do this, as I was expecting an email, which i never received. Has anyone experienced one or more of the above issues and has any tips on what it could be, or what else I could try to resolve them. My two main things i want to resolve are: a) The sync between Shazam APP and Shazam Website libraries, so the tracks match b) The sync between Shazam tagged tracks, and "My Shazam Tracks" playlist in ITUNES Thanks in advance!

Problem with Ordering of Smart Playlists on iPhone 12 Hi. Regardless of the order in which I arrange tracks in the smart playlists on my iMac, they ALWAYS appear on my iPhone in reverse alphabetical order of artiste/group. I've tried using Copy to Play Order and adding new Edit Rules such as "Media kind is Music", but I haven't found anything that works, i.e that ensures that the iPhone playlists follow the order of the lists on the iMac. If anyone's got a solution, I'd love to hear it!

Imagine you have an album that includes a music video. If music videos are included in the songs and album views, which they are, you can play the whole album including the video tracks. If that behaviour annoys you can uncheck the music videos so they skip unless you explicitly choose to play them.

That would make sense if I were to shuffle music from the Albums View. What doesn’t make sense is that if the Albums View contain both songs & music videos (which I would expect) and the Music Videos View contains only music videos, then shouldn’t the Songs View only contain songs?

In the past I have had the “Skip When Shuffling” checkbox marked for music videos, but if I want to shuffle them on my Apple TV, then it’ll play the first video and then end.

My workaround has been to create a Smart Playlist filtered on Media Kind but I feel that I shouldn’t have to do so given my logic explained above.

It works as designed. You don't to have to agree with Apple's design choices. Sometimes you have to workaround them.

I don’t believe that is truly the case though. Because if you look at the Songs View on iOS and compare it to macOS, the iOS version does not include videos.
