Also Apple Music is much worse (harder to bring miniplayer, seek bar harder to use) and list of misfeatures goes on and on and on

Apple Music has actually gone to "completely unusable" for my use.

I use it (or did, pre-Tahoe) to play iTunes-shared music over my network. Since Tahoe, it will play a couple (plus or minus a handful of songs) and then just stop rather than transitioning to the next song.

I've been listening to the actual radio for the past couple months because I haven't had the time to work out how to play my network-shared music.


You have to give Apple credit where credit is due. They have managed to make first iTunes and now Music worse with every release. Which is truly amazing.

The fact that in the miniplayer you can't display both the album art and the track information at the same time unless the cursor is hovering over the window absolutely boggles my mind. If I'm listening to a station, I want to glance over and see what I'm listening to. And I like the album art showing. This worked until Tahoe.

View menu > Hide Large Artwork will show the track info, but you of course lose the album art.

Of course it's not a major issue, it doesn't make the system unusable, but it was a nice little experience thing.


All I know about modern Apple Music is that it’s always active in now playing when nothing else is playing, and accidentally pressing play sometimes summons an account setup screen.

I never use it, and wish I could delete it.


If it makes you feel any better it doesn't detect activity well even if something is actually playing.

I regularly go to pause Apple Music and the play/pause button on my keyboard instead starts playing a YouTube video in some background tab/window.


I've lowered my expectations over the years, but there's this single stupidity that drives me crazy: When you search for a keyword and play a song from the results, playback continues with the rest of the search results. Why the hell would I want to play all of the songs with similar names? iOS Music, on the other hand, does the expected and creates a station from the first played search result.

Oh man, that's concerning since it was already terrible on Sonoma. I've been using Museeks for years now.

Aye it’s fucking terrible. Seek bar is impossible.
