Songs View Jumping to Random Spots After Action

Since the update to Monterey I've been experiencing some weird behavior when adding songs to a playlist (or editing info of a song/album). It seems as soon as Apple Music is done making changes, it just randomly decides to jump to a different spot in my current view.


Example: In the Library - Songs view, I went to an album by the artist "Dave". I selected the 12 songs from the album, two-finger click, Add to Last Playlist, and the Songs view jumps down to Jeezy. Do the same thing for a Turnstile album and it jumps down to Various Artists.


All of my playlists are in the "Songs" view (because the default Playlist view is absolutely worthless), so I cannot say whether this happens in other views.


Another, slightly less annoying bug, is that when using the keyboard to jump to the artist you want (in the example above typing "Dave") the first matching song is highlighted at the bottom of the view, instead of the top as it's been since... forever.


Am I the only experiencing/annoyed by these two bugs?

You are not alone. I've been hard rating songs in playlists and everytime I edit a song's rating it jumps to a random other place in the playlist. Very frustrating! Also, when I press command+L to jump to the current song, the song is displayed at the bottom of the playlist where it used to be at the top. I have reported the bug on https://www.apple.com/feedback/apple-music.html


Hope Apple fixes these issues in the next update! :)

I'm finding the Music app is very buggy.


Songs View: Making changes to a selection drops the view down to the very bottom of the list, forcing me to scroll back up to the artist I was making changes to.


Songs View: Music app won't remember how I want to sort (Album by Artist/Year). I have to sort the column manually every time I launch the app. (I've had this issue since Big Sur.)


Spacial Audio says it's not available. I'm using a MacBook Air M1 2020.


In "Get Info" view, when changing the genre I have to select the genre. I used to be able to start typing a genre and it would auto recognize. Auto recognize doesn't work since Monterey upgrade.


Bottom scroll bar is always there... even when there's nothing to scroll left and right for.


I've submitted feedback to Apple.

All of my Apple Music columns jump to the top or bottom of the list instead of the selected category. Example if I am trying to categorize by year, it will jump to 2021(the top) or no year (the bottom).


Very frustrating. Also a little wonky when trying to rate or love songs, jumps around like a super sensitive mouse pad. Also still dealing with the occasionally cut off song at 15 seconds. If it is not one thing, its the other.

After being on the phone with Apple support, I was told to either re-install the OS with the hope that any missing/corrupt files for the music app correct the issue, or wait until the next update for the OS. Mind you, the tech didn't know if the issue would be addressed in that update as it is very "unique".


Looks like we will have to deal with it for a while.
