Apple Music "Unable to browse music"

Hi All.

 

Since the Apple Music outage a few days ago I just get the message “Unable to browse music” when trying yo use Apple Music.  I have removed and reloaded the account, reauthorised it etc to no avail.  I have a family account and I did notice that my partners library was working fine which seemed odd.

 

Its becoming a pain now as not all of my set u is Airpaty compatible so fiddling about to link things isn't very user friendly !

 

I see this seems to have happened over the years but wondered if anyone had a resolution to this ?

Hi Everyone,

We now consider this issue closed - Apple resolved it internally.

We have the exact same problem, one user cannot browse their Apple music on Sonos.

Ditto.   Add a tick mark next to the issue to count another sufferer….  :(

Same issue here. Neither iPad nor iPhone will let me browse Apple Music on Sonos. All other streaming services are working fine, and Apple Music is working fine outside of Sonos. I text chatted with support, and the tech really tried to figure it out, but to no avail. He ultimately wanted me to try to reconfigure my home wifi router. Not sure what purpose that would serve since all the other services are working fine. I’m still hoping for someone to figure this out and share their success story!

There has been a great change with Apple Music from within SONOS in the last days, during the last days of May 2022. At least in my SONOS app on iOS/iPadOS. Now the Apple Music section within the SONOS app looks more like the native Apple Music app. Beside the menus (Artists, Albums, Songs, etc.) that had been always available, now the SONOS app has album covers following the menus, very similar to the native Music app, with selected albums in different categories.

Same issue (“Unable to browse music”) when I click on Apple Music service within the Sonos iOS app, started within the past couple of days. Apple Music app works fine. I can search for an artist/song/playlist in Sonos app and select it with success from the Apple Music service, but browsing is broken. I have unplugged all speakers, removed Apple Music service, uninstalled Sonos app, reconnected Apple Music service connection — nothing has fixed the browse issue.

I get “Unable to browse music” when I click on Apple Music service within the Sonos iOS app.

Apple Music works fine as a standalone.
