During this year’s WWDC event, Apple announced dozens of exciting updates and features coming to iOS 17, as well as some new wearable tech that’s catching everyone’s attention.

While Apple Music was barely mentioned at all—perhaps a sign of how important it is to the company—there are actually a handful of changes in store for the popular global streaming music app. These updates aren’t going to completely alter what people already know, but for hardcore users, they may very well positively impact how listeners interact with the app...and it appears that one specific enhancement is still in progress.

Here’s a look at what’s changing on Apple Music.

Crossfading

Apple AAPL Music will now feature seamless song transitions via what’s called crossfading. With this feature, tunes on ‌the app (for iOS, at least) will flow smoothly without interruptions. This might not make a big difference to casual listeners, but some audiophiles have been longing for it for some time.

Viewing Album Artwork

The latest iteration of ‌iOS introduces subtle refinements to Apple Music’s user interface, which is always a good thing (as long as they’re actually good themselves)‌. Now, those looking at their phones as a song plays will see the full-screen animated artwork for albums that support such visuals, which will mostly be releases from major players in the industry.

Apple is ditching the traditional look of the square box that many streamers use, which it has utilized until lately.

Minimized Music Player

In ‌iOS 17‌, when the music player is made smaller on ‌Apple Music, it‌ changes to a hovering design over the app's interface. This introduces a depth effect to the minimized player, providing a visually engaging experience that can be enjoyed while users are browsing through the Apple Music app. Users can still skip, play or pause while the player is minimized as well.

CarPlay

With the arrival of ‌iOS 17‌, ‌Apple Music‌ also changed slightly for those using it through CarPlay. The inclusion of an aptly-named SharePlay functionality now enables all passengers in the car to choose what they want to hear, contributing to a shared experience.

Collaborative Playlists

Collaborative playlists were mentioned in a release shared by Apple, though they may be a future feature, as opposed to one that will be immediately available. This fun add-on allows for friends to work on playlists together, with a group choosing what tunes are heard. Everyone inside a playlist will seemingly be able to identify who chose what song, and perhaps even react to the choices made.
