Songs View Jumping to Random Spots After Action

I'm on an iMac M1, and the issue is actually worse for me at this point - any interaction with a song on the list causes this behavior (for me it used to only be "Loving" a song). And I have done a complete reinstall last fall and that did not fix the issue.

Do you actually have downloaded songs or your own music on the hard drive? I set up a different user on my iMac Pro and logged into iTunes with my iCloud so that the new user profile had no actual downloaded songs just streaming. When I did this the scrolling jump around problem did not occur. However that doesn't do me any good as on my regular user profile I have 1000's of songs actually downloaded including personal music not owned by apple. Apple recommended a clean system install yet others seemed to have tried that without success. Just waisted 2 hours of my life with technical support with no resolution.

Same here - Not working.

Funny enough I tried logging out of Apple music and my library and then logging back in. While it is loading the artwork it works perfectly and doesn't jump around, but as soon as that process is complete, it's broken again.

Wonder if 12.3 Beta1 will fix it - I wont hold my breath.

Same here. Are people actually reporting this to Apple? Does Apple actually monitor these forums? Being somewhat of a developer, I find it hard to believe that Apple would ignore a huge bug like this. They are all about the user experience (or at least used to be).

Yesterday I actually went back to my case from last August and replied to that email with an update and a link to this thread. I have not gotten an acknowledgement, but planned on trying to get back in touch with support live tomorrow afternoon when I have some free time. Will post any updates.

Updated to 12.2 , and trying to sort, it flops all over the place. Also, still cutting random song at :15 seconds (mostly matched songs). Super frustrating. Hard to believe this bug hasn't been fixed.

I pay a monthly fee for Apple Music, annual fee for Apple Music Match, thousands of $$$ in previously purchased music, where is the support?

Has any one tried a clean install??

I waisted two hours of my life last week with an apple rep

who tried everything including throwing out various preference files

creating a new user , clearing the pram etc. If they know it is a bug in the software why do they

have you jump through hoops instead of just saying "we are working on it?

The other possibility is they do think it is a bug and it could be corrupt files on our Macs?

The problem is not resolved and it is infuriating as it wasn't an issue prior to their mucking things up. I actually enjoy making different song lists and now navigating through my 8, 636 songs with it jumping all over the place is just ridiculous! Does Apple even care?

I am absolutely flabbergasted by Apple's attitude on this. I have already cancelled Match and Music services and if this is not resolved by 12.3, will start the painful process of downgrading to whichever version of macOS does not present this issue. I have little use for Monterey anyway (Intel Macs) and right now, in light of this issue, am not feeling inclined to sink more money into Apple products.

While not strictly related to the topic at hand, I have come across a brand new issue in Music: in the Apple Music section if I click on the profile picture, I get an error: app.js[2031:72] Error: We’ve run into a problem. The fun part is that this error cannot even be dismissed... The whole Music app seems thoroughly broken.

(Temporary fix I discovered when you are editing/making changes to a song and it generates that annoying screen jumping bug)

If you are playing a song and the screen jumps, you can pause the song you are listening to and press play again, and it will take you back to the song you were editing.

Thank you for this. Didn't even think about hitting pause and play again. I had been pushing the arrow button forward and back which was way more cumbersome.

Command L makes me go into a different viewing mode. Not an option for me.

When I called in the day 12.2 came out I was on the phone for like an hour and made zero headway. It sounded like they would have stayed on the phone with me for 5 hours if I wanted. I don't have time for that. They should be able to recreate the bug themselves and figure it out. I'm not erasing my whole computer or whatever the myriad of things they tried to get me to do.

Having the same annoying bug. It was there with macOS 12.1 and it has not been fixed in macOS 12.2.

I have a 50k song library and it is so frustrating trying to edit any song (rating, renaming, deleting...).

The same thing is happening to me!

When in the "songs" library the list will jump around from the song that is presently playing too usually the bottom of the song list, not playing a different song but jumping to a different spot in the music list. I have to type in the artist I was first listening to to get back to that artist... But then it will do it again! Very frustrating!!!

Another issue I am having with Apple Music is in “View Options” I have checked off that I want to see when each song in a Playlist was “Last Played”. This option always worked before I upgraded. Now it doesn’t work.

They should fix these bugs before they announce an upgrade.
