memories that are automatically cued up to play after I’ve watched a memory on my TV are almost always given the same horrendous music, it’s intensely irritating and ruins the experience of browsing photo memories - I hope it’s something that I’m doing wrong because then maybe it’s something I can fix? Surely Steve Jobs wouldn’t have wanted “walking on sunshine” to come up EVERY TIME you try to watch a memory!
Apple TV (4th generation)
‘Memories’ has its own Apple defined music catalog/playlist. It should play different music for each Memory, but for repeating Memories, the same song will be used.
On iPhone, iPad, or Mac, the music is editable per Memory, and that should then update over to Apple TV, including any track on Apple Music, for Apple Music subscribers.

To change playback settings such as music and duration, see more information about people or locations, or edit the memory, open the memory in Photos on an iPhone, iPad, or Mac linked to the same iCloud Photos account. Any changes you make are automatically updated on Apple TV.

If they’re new, they seem to always use the same song
That doesn’t happen for me. I can understand how annoying that would be. The mentioned track hasn’t shown up on any of my Memories so far. 🤷🏻♂️
Is there a place where the Memories music catalog can be accessed and edited so I can delete this track?
Apple’s list of music for Memories is not user-editable afaik, and the track selection criteria are not disclosed, but music for each memory should be editable. Have you tried to change the music for said Memories through iPhone, iPad, or Mac?
If the issue persists, contact the Apple Support staff for further assistance.
Thanks, but that’s not what is happening. I could understand if it’s the same memory using the same music, but this isn’t that. I’m happy to fine tune music etc for memories I’m making / saving manually, but this is specifically if I watch one memory on the TV, and that then finishes, there is a queue of next memories that come up and they auto play. These are usually a mix, sometimes new, sometimes saved / favourited ones. If they’re new, they seem to always use the same song “walking on sunshine” which.. is a song that i hate and now I hate it even more because it keeps showing up uninvited. Is there a place where the Memories music catalog can be accessed and edited so I can delete this obscenely upbeat and garish track?
Ah ok, thanks though. Yeah I don’t mind changing the track for a specific memory, it’s just I’d like to let the random ones play and not have to endure such a horrific tune over and over 😂
