Apple Music Gets Crossfade, Collaborative Playlists, and More in iOS 17
With the announcement of iOS 17 on Monday, Apple also made some big updates to Apple Music. It brings along Crossfade, Collaborative Playlists and a new music player.
It might sound odd that a new version of iOS brings a new version of Apple Music, but on iOS, stock apps are built into the system. Versus on Android where they can be updated via the Play Store.
Keep in mind that, to be able to use these features you will need to be on the iOS 17 beta. Which you can install here.
New Apple Music features in iOS 17
There’s three big features that are part of Apple Music in iOS 17. Let’s start with Crossfade. This will allow you to fade songs into each other. Instead of stopping and then a second later another song playing. It’s a simple feature, and honestly, a bit surprising that it took Apple Music this long to add it.
Next up is Collaborative Playlists. Again, another feature that other services have had for a while. This will basically allow you and your friends, or maybe family members, to create a playlist. This could be good for roadtrips and such. There will be a button at the top of the screen for adding and removing people from the playlist. This feature actually won’t be available until later this year. So it’s likely that this will be part of iOS 17.1.
With iOS 17, Apple also introduced a new music player, and honestly, it looks pretty slick. Albums are now blended seamlessly into the bottom of the music player where the controls are. It looks sleeker than the current look of it just being in a box in the center of the screen. On playlists, and album screens, it will also blend into the list of songs. It looks much nicer now and much more modern.
