Apple Music bug that’s bothering me at the moment. Favorites working unreliably! In the screenshot below of the main Apple Music user interface, you can see the star beside the song title. That means I’ve marked it as a favorite:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

But, if I right-click the Apple Music app in the Dock, the song isn’t marked as a favorite (the word Favorite should have a checkmark to the left of it):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

To make matters worse, sometimes when I right-click the Apple Music icon in the Dock, ‘Favorite’ isn’t even there:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, when I want to favorite something, I’ve taken to opening up the main Apple Music user interface and clicking on the hollow star to the right of the track name to turn it red, like shown in the first screenshot.

For my own notes, this is macOS Tahoe 26.3, Apple Music 1.6.3.2, and the song in question while behavior was observed was being streamed from an auto-generated Apple Music Radio Station (“Aphex Twin & Similar Artists Station”, if you must know.. so nosy. Haha).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
