Bug Reports

I have noticed that some of the albums I uploaded to Apple Music do not show up in the LongPlay app. It seems the problem was that I hadn’t specified the total number of tracks in the tracks’ ID3 tags / Information. I am aware that you’re using this property (along with the actual number of tracks) in the algorithm that determines whether albums are shown in LongPlay. I can’t think of any perfect solution right now — some people upload entire albums, others don’t. I would probably prefer simply showing such albums regardless. Practically speaking, I don’t use the My Library view much — there’s a lot of junk there anyway — and I’m happy with the Collections I’ve created. But at least an update to the Troubleshooting FAQ would be nice. I also think it would be useful to show a link like “Album doesn’t show up? Check troubleshooting” at the end of the My Library view, and maybe at the top after three consecutive pull-to-refresh actions.

I only have album art in Longplay for less than 1% of my albums. All of the artwork is present both in the Library/Album view of the Music app on my iPhone and my Mac, so that's not the problem. I've force quit Longplay and opened it again, no change. The art isn't changing, either, i.e. none are being updated/added over time; it has X when it opens, and that's it. I've read the FAQ and as mentioned above, what's discussed there does not seem to be the problem. What else can I look at?

I use a third party wireless adaptor for Car Play. And iPhone XS. After a phone call, audio on Longplay often becomes so glitchy it can't be listened to. Sometimes this can be fixed by jumping to a new album but usually it cannot. I've got a mental note to see if the Apple Music app is affected in the same way, if it makes any difference whether the call was incoming or outgoing, and whether it can be fixed by restarting the car without restarting the phone. Sorry I see that I already accidentally posted this under feature requests, but I don't see any way to turn that feature request into a big report.

I haven’t been able to identify a pattern that predicts when it will and will not be not broken. But when it is broken, it appears to always be broken in these two ways at the same time: the Now Playing icon no longer appears at the top of the main screen of Longplay the Now Playing app icon in Car Play still takes you to a screen that shows the music that is playing, but it does not show the cover art or the name of the artist, album or song Strangely, even it’s broken in these two way, all information is still visible in the composite view in Car Play that shows you music and maps at the same time. However, pressing that music overview still takes you to the broken Now Playing screen described above.

Auf dem iPhone und iPad funktioniert die Künstler-Sortierung nicht. Hat das Album mehrere Künstler und wurde das Album von Apple music importiert kann man bei der Künstler-Sortierung angeben was man will, die Sortierung ändert sich nicht. Es wird der erste Künstler verwendet, den Apple music voranstellt. Ist dies zufällig der richtige Künstler, wird nun aber das Erscheinungsjahr nicht mehr berücksichtigt. Das Album erscheint dann zwar beim richtigen Künstler, wird aber nun bei der Sortierung "Ordnung" zum Schluss bei diesem Künstler einsortiert, unabhängig vom Erscheinungsjahr, offensichtlich da mehrere Künstler beteiligt sind. Bei der MAC-Version von Longplay funktioniert die Künstler-Sortierung tadellos.

On iOS, it takes you to the next album. On CarPlay, it takes you to the next track.
