Fix sign-in and playback in Arlet

Resolve Arlet sign-in, library loading, and playback problems on Windows.

The Apple sign-in window does not finish

  1. Close the sign-in window and select Sign in again.
  2. Make sure you sign in with the Apple ID that has your Apple Music subscription.
  3. If Apple asks for two-factor verification, finish it in the same window.

Your library shows an error or “403”

A 403 means Apple refused the request for your library.

  1. Update to the latest Arlet version. Arlet v0.1.0 could not load libraries; v0.1.1 fixed it.
  2. Check that your Apple Music subscription is active on music.apple.com with the same Apple ID.
  3. Select Try again on the page.
  4. If it keeps failing, use Settings > Account > Sign out, then sign in again.

Songs do not play

  1. Check that you are signed in; the status at the top left should show Connected.
  2. Check your internet connection. Without one, Arlet shows your cached library but cannot play.
  3. Check the Windows volume mixer for Arlet.
  4. Restart Arlet. If the window turns blank, Arlet reloads it automatically; restart if it does not recover.

Arlet says its access token has expired

Install the latest Arlet update from rosie.run/arlet/downloads. Each release’s Apple Music developer token lasts about six months.

Arlet opens off-screen or at an odd size

Use Settings > Reset to restore the default window. Arlet also falls back to the default when its saved position is on a monitor that is no longer connected.

Still stuck?

Copy the report from Settings > Support > Copy diagnostics report and include it when you contact support or open an issue on GitHub. The report leaves out tokens and account data.
