The remote fix in the new Catalina version: "Adds support for using an iPhone or iPad to remotely control the Music and TV apps on a Mac", does not work yet. The remote app does not control the music app. Maybe some settings need to be changed? Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.

In the Remote app use Settings > Add an iTunes Library which should put a code on your screen. Open the Music app in Catalina and an icon for your iPhone should appear in the sidebar. Tap this and enter the code to connect. In the Remote app use Settings > Home Sharing > Off for now. This connection route doesn't seem to work and turning this option off makes sure that you'll only see the library you can actually control.

Thanks for the response. I followed the instructions and it worked fine. However, it took a couple of tries. The first time, the remote app recognized the music library but couldn't make the connection. I erased the library, did the whole procedure again, and now it worked.
Again, thanks a lot for the help!
You're welcome. 🙂
