Apple Music Questions

Hi all, I’ve been a huge fan of Apple Music since it first became available, and I’ve amassed a huge library in the cloud; we’re talking thousands upon thousands of albums. I have a couple of questions. First, is there a way I can get an accurate count of how many albums are in my library? A

Re: iOS 12.3 upgrade comments?

Re: Facebook

I’m not sure when this behavior was introduced, but it annoys me tremendously. I looked all through the settings and there doesn’t seem to be a way to turn that off. Too bad. > On Feb 12, 2019, at 6:02 AM, Donna wrote: > > OMG, this happens to me also when using The Facebook app!! It is sooo
