apple music memory leak

Plex is ok for video, not music. Plex devs have lost their way are trying to move from their original personal media library management to a streaming subscription / advertisement system .

That's their choice. I still have my Plex pass that came with a now- broken promise, but I stopped recommending them to anyone since they've shown that they cannot be trusted.

Sadly, this music app leaves a lot to be desired. Unless I'm missing something, there's no way to hold your place anywhere in here. You can't just go back to where you were. That's not convenient if you are trying to edit playlists and return to your previous place. You have to start all over. Without the column browser, it is very inconvenient. Maybe Apple has hired some Microsoft people to handle this(LOL). Previously, it was simple to find anything you wanted, make changes and back up. Please correct me if I'm wrong. This is most frustrating.

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?

Hi baconwrapped

I have the same issue (memory 97Gb, no more artworks, etc)

How many time are you waiting to see Music running normaly?

My music library contains approx. 68.000 songs

Because I hesitate to go down to Mojave and working again with iTunes.

thx for the answer

After a couple of crashes, I think my system seems to have stabilized.

I wonder if that’s got something to do with it... how can you tell if the artwork is with the mp3 or not?

I always go into a Mac OS upgrade thinking it will fix my woes. Guess not this time... or any time in years for that matter.

Mine is a on a NAS and I have 40,000+ songs so far I have had 10 crashes due to the music app consuming all the RAM , come on apple get it sorted. You have only had like 6 months to work on it!

Yeah that's what I'm doing, hoping it gets closer to the end with every run. I quit the app once the Memory Pressure indicator on Activity Monitor gets into the Red zone.

Same thing on my side. MacBook Pro 13" early 2015 16GO. Can't use Music app when I work. Very sad. I only use a Radio streaming site. I also tried with my local music on hard drive, same thing.

The same here. Just want to enlarge the list of disappointed users. Hopefully there will be a fix soon. Apple Music is useless this way 👎😢.

Same problem here.

Music app is eating all the memory of my iMac (late 2013 16gb).

Worst OS update ever. My iMac is unusable. Apple has to fix this quickly.

What are people switching too? I can't believe this is still an issue. I am so done

I’n not switching right away, but if this isn’t fixed soon, I’ll be ending my Apple Music subscription, at least for a while.

I have 38,000 songs , what's your issue? Apple breaks it and your more worried that we have a lot of music
