Tuneful and macOS 26 Tahoe: What's Happening with Apple Music Integration

If you're running the macOS 26 Tahoe and notice Apple Music isn't working properly in Tuneful, you're not alone. This is due to breaking changes Apple introduced which break Apple Music integrations system-wide. Spotify integration works as expected, and isn't affected by these changes.


In the latest release of macOS 26 Tahoe, Apple has made significant changes to the way Apple Music works under the hood. Unfortunately, these changes have broken the APIs Tuneful relies on, and Apple Music no longer exposes the data Tuneful needs to display song details.

I'm actively exploring potential workarounds to fully restore Apple Music functionality on macOS 26. For now, the most important thing is transparency: if you rely on Apple Music within Tuneful, please be aware that the macOS Tahoe will not provide the usual experience.

Thank you for your patience and support. It keeps this project thriving and moving forward!
