I guess we can't roll back to Mojave now? Well, unless someone is hosting older builds online somewhere?
I really liked Mojave. It was really stable and Apple had finally got iTunes to a good place.
To be fair, I'm impressed my 2012 Mac Mini keeps marching on like a trooper with each iteration of Mac OS. 8ish years isn't a bad lifespan by today's standards. But now we are back in the good old days of software upgrades being 2 steps backwards, 1 step forwards.
Anyway, as others have found, whilst playing Music my desktop is having a hard time. Especially in Safari where the mouse jitters and jerks its way across the page. Shut down Music and all is good again. I have zero issues with TV and Podcasts.
I get why Apple are trying to unify their platforms, but butchering iTunes like this was ill conceived and poorly executed.
I will give them a chance to rectify it though before switching back to Mojave, or heaven forbid, Windows!
Oh and has anyone else noticed two https:\\apple.music threads running in Activity Monitor when Music is open? I'm not even subscribed to it, and don't want to be, so why that is consuming resources is a mystery. Apple? Are you there? Are you listening?
