downgrade to itunes

Nope. You'll have to downgrade back to 10.14 Mojave to get the old software back. Or partition a drive with Mojave to use for just your iTunes Library, depends on how bad you want to stay on Catalina.

No.

If you read the OP, the issue is with the Podcast app, which has lost functionality and simply doesn’t work with AirPlay. Lots of people solved this by installing iTunes on Catalina. I won’t say how, because it is apparently a hack. Hopefully Apple will fix Podcasts before they break the hack.

That would be a mistake if you need help. There is a good reason unsupported modifications are not recommended on ASC. It can make the system unstable and the next time you update it can bork your system. Most users don't want to go through the recovery process over and over. It also makes it difficult to diagnose other problems when someone has unsupported hacks/patches installed.

Just food for thought.

FWIW, nowhere in the OP does it mention Airplay. Just…

I really hate the new Podcast app that Apple created.

You’ll need to google your question because the solutions are being deleted by moderators here.

This makes me very sad. People are just trying to help.

Then maybe Apple shouldn't create these issues in the first place. Food for thought.

They didn't create any issues for me. Music works fine.

Podcasts work for me, including Airplay.

Feel free to do so.
