iTunes Remote app and Catalina Music

Hi

I had that problem too. Here's a solution, which takes you back to where you were: Remote works again: hurrah!

Here's what worked for me- others may be able to take out a step, and make it more economical...

1. download the latest Catalina version (15.2). (This is meant to make Remote work again. And I thought it would, but it doesn't at first).
2. Delete the Remote App from your device. (I'm not sure if this is necessary, but it seemed a good idea and didn't take time).
3. Re-install the Remote App.
4. Set up HomeSharing. (Be sure your Mac and your device are on the same WiFi network).
5. DO NOT choose to set up Homesharing 'automatically' by logging onto the same Apple ID. (At least this didn't work for me- I was just back where I was with everyone else, able to see my Music library, but unable to control it). Instead...
6. Choose to set up HomeSharing manually.
7. Your device will give you a 4 digit code, and tell you to enter it within iTunes. (Come on Apple: keep up now...)
8. Go to Music on your Mac, and half way down on the left, you'll see an icon representing your device, click it, and enter the code.
9. You're done.

I hope that works for others.....
