Tying it in with the Apple TV logo creates consistency between both of Apple's entertainment streaming services. It's still simple looking but better than basic black and white IMO.

Also, everything new from Apple music is here, including the new title.

Apple Music interface it's now 100% blue and black just like the ios version.

Version 7.0.0-beta (1611)

I find the black & white design strange, I wish they had the purple/blue/red accent of the note as on the iOS 10 app icon.

as we all know we saw some reddit posts today about the change of the apple music accent color to blue and the icon to black and white vice versa.

WHAT the F*** are they thinking? this is probably the ugliest and stupidest redesign ever.

they just have to go minimalist and take soul out of the app dont they? apple music was BEEN known for their pinkish red color. now its some ugly ahh blue that no one even likes. NOT saying blue is ugly.
this specific change for the app is ugly. thoughts?

I’ve been noticing this over the last six months, but music I purchased when I first got iTunes is disappearing. Songs I know for a fact I downloaded because I still listen to them often; entire albums are gone. I’ve rebought a few that are really important to me, but I noticed it even more today and at first I thought I was going crazy but it’s undeniable at this point.

I’ve had my current laptop since 2021 so this isn’t a ‘I transferred laptops and didn’t back up my music’ situation.

I’ve gone allllll the way back in my purchased history to 2005 and ‘requested’ my music back, but tonight I tried that again and the route I took last time is gone. My ‘purchased’ playlist is gone too.

Am I just crazy? (It’s possible.) Has anyone else been experiencing this?

Has anyone been unable to watch the Apple Music Hall livestream in Apple TV and Apple Music? I just wished they told us earlier on which country would be able to watch it. Even followed the instruction Apple gave in their facebook post, but still no livestream

It’s not 100% the same but it’s still better than that black and white one…

I had Apple Music’s for a few years and recently decided to take a break and listen to my cd collection.

Did I lose everything I had collected?

If I renew my subscription under the old user account do I get my music playlists back? Could anything be stored in ITunes?

I still have all my Spotify playlists from years ago, does Apple delete everything and you have to start over?

Just received the update on my S26 Ultra

In the Apple Music app on iOS 27.2, red seems to no longer be the colour of Apple Music. Instead the library icons are now black, the navigation bar is white with blue highlight, and the icon is now black and white. What do you think?

Hi everyone, with Apple shifting towards a more refined, retro-premium aesthetic in recent software updates, many of us miss the tactile and visual magic of Cover Flow from the classic iOS era. However, we all remember why it was removed in iOS 7: turning your phone accidentally in list views was frustrating and taking over the entire screen interrupted navigation. I came up with a concept that fixes those usability flaws while bringing back that nostalgic feel in a modern way.

In this proposal, Cover Flow triggers strictly when you have the full-screen Now Playing view open and rotate your phone into landscape mode, preventing any accidental triggers while browsing playlists. Instead of taking over the screen, the carousel is neatly contained inside the album art area on the left side, creating a balanced split-screen layout. When holding the phone horizontally, your left thumb naturally swipes through the mini Cover Flow carousel while your right thumb controls playback, volume, and lyrics. Since all controls stay fixed on the right, you can interact with your music without artwork animations distracting you. I think this strikes the perfect balance between modern productivity and classic Apple soul, giving us a tactile experience on OLED and ProMotion displays without breaking functionality. What do you think? Would you like to see Apple implement something like this?

I noticed my ipad didn't have a flac player. Not an emergency as my android phone has a couple.

My current phone has a potential crack in the screen. I was considering going to the darkside for the first time but a good flac player will be the decision maker. I'd want to use it to play my songs in my car and I don't want to convert any of them. If I convert them then I have to keep track of two sets of music - I get a new song in flac then I have to convert it and put it in the right folder - not gonna happen.

Does anyone have a recommendation? (other than converting the files)

Thanks.

Along with the icon and color change update, the discs was also improved, now, when you select an disc, only those songs are added to the queue, not the entire album.

Nobody would ever associate a music note exclusively with a single music app. That is precisely the issue: a musical note is a generic symbol, not a brand identity. It’s like a phone receiver or a speech bubble everyone uses similar symbols because they represent universal functions.
That made sense when Apple Music was essentially just another music service.

Today, it has grown into a full fledged brand of its own. Apple has already been using the Apple logo alongside the word "Music" in promotional materials and other applications for years. The natural next step is to gradually retire the musical note and establish  Music as the core visual identity of the service.

There is also the historical link to iTunes. The musical note carries that legacy, which might explain why Apple continues to hold on to it. However, Apple Music and iTunes are distinct products today. Why keep mixing their visual identities? Separate them once and for all, just as Apple has done with its other products and services.

Ultimately, people can suggest a thousand different colors, but none of them will fix the lack of a genuinely unique identity. Any music service can use a musical note; only Apple can turn the apple into an instantly recognizable symbol for Apple Music.
