Taylor Swift has been named Apple Music’s Artist of the Year after dominating the charts, touring the world, and launching her own concert film. In 2023, Apple Music unveiled its year-end charts ranking the top songs, top Shazams, and, for the first time, the songs music fans sang along to the most using Apple Music Sing. Swift became the most listened-to artist by Apple Music subscribers, setting a new all-time record for the most listeners for any artist in a single year on Apple Music. Well, let’s explore the top trending songs of Apple Music together, but first we’ll give some useful tips on using the service.
Apple Music Tips All Users Should Know
#1 Use the shortcut menus
You can access a list of convenient shortcuts with a long-press (tap and hold).
- When you long-press a song, you can do a couple of things. Firstly, you can view the complete lyrics without playing the song. Secondly, you even have the option to create a station with that song.
- Long-pressing an album or one of your playlists offers you more choices. You can add it to your listening queue, either at the beginning or the end.
#2 Listen to Apple Music Without the Internet
Did you know that if you find yourself in an area with weak or no internet, you can enjoy Apple Music offline? Simply download your favorite tunes, and you’ll be all set for those moments when a “no signal” message appears.
To download a song, there are a few steps you need to follow. First, add the song to your library or a playlist.
You can do this by long-pressing or tapping the three dots located to the right of the song. Then, choose either “Add to Library” or “Add to a Playlist.” Once you’ve added the song, open your library or playlist and select it. After that, long-press or tap the three dots again, and this time, select “Download.”
The only caveat is the limited amount of memory. To download a popular music chart, you will need several gigabytes of memory. But there is a solution in the form of an iPhone cleaner app. How to clean up your iPhone without deleting personal data? Just check out this site and install CleanUp. The application searches for duplicate files, contacts, and photos and then deletes them. You can also free up memory if you use the video compression feature available in this app.
#3 Get High-Quality Audio on Mobile
By default, when using your mobile data plan, Apple Music will automatically adjust the quality or compression of the audio file to a lower setting. The perceptibility of lower bitrate audio is still a subject of debate, as it largely relies on factors such as the sensitivity of your own ears or the quality of your headphones.
However, if you desire high-quality audio even while on the go, there’s an option available in the settings to achieve just that. To enable high-quality audio on iOS, follow these steps:
- Exit the Music app.
- Navigate to Settings > Music > Audio Quality.
- Locate the option for Mobile Data Streaming and ensure it is set to High Quality.
- Additionally, you can toggle the Lossless Audio feature to On, which will preserve the original sound of the tracks you listen to.
