How is it the year 2024 and I cannot hand off current playback between my Mac and my iPhone?

☹️

@caseyliss Ask the music industry and Apple Legal. I bet it’s a rights issue.
@chockenberry @caseyliss Spotify does this just fine though. So I doubt that’s it.

@jsatk @caseyliss Spotify doesn't sell music (they only rent it via streaming).

Also, Apple's contracts with the industry were the first of their kind at a time when there was a huge fear of digital files.

Remember that you still have to authorize a computer to listen to some things. And that those authorizations are limited.

@chockenberry @caseyliss Good points. My response was based entirely around thinking about Apple Music and streaming. I haven't purchased music digitally in a decade. I stream via Apple Music and buy vinyl to "own" it.
