Apple Music content can only be played in single mode. Mixed playback with other content is not possible. The start point can be set in one-second increments, but precise cueing is not possible. Endpoint settings are not possible. Loop playback and fader volume adjustment are also not possible. These are in accordance with Apple's application development guidelines. Audio files provided by Apple Music will have the Apple logo before the title to make them easier to identify. I am developing it with the aim of a level that can be used in broadcasting, but I have a low price. If you like it, please recommend it to your friends.
