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?

2 issues will rectify itself if you turn off 'Sync Library' in Music > Preferences > General


  1. No more auto jumping in Songs playlist after any editing action
  2. The Now Playing menu bar will behave as expected; as in it will show the playing time and remaining time & the scrubber will show accordingly where you are in the music track


As soon as you turn it back on, these 2 issues return.

It's February 2022 and this problem (the highlight bar jumping all over the place) is still going on. You "geniuses" need to stop smoking pot when you're creating these "updates". This is beyond frustrating when I'm trying to use Apple Music (it took me 2 hours to put a f***ing playlist together) and it seems like Apple just doesn't give a ****.

If they did this would have been resolved months ago, but no. Please stop with the sh!tty unnecessary updates and leave everything alone. You just keep screwing everything up in a lame attempt at justifying your bloated salaries. So tired of the nonsense already.

I found that If you do the adjustments to the song when it’s in steam mode, if the position jumps, it will jump somewhere in view. After you have rated or hearted the song, you then download the song without further issues. Although the mechanics are essentially the same, it’s much less cumbersome than to download the song and subsequently begin to rate it or heart it.

Still an issue here. Im a DJ and use Itunes to narrow down massive playlists into sub segments of 20 or 30 tracks for gigs/mixes. This bug is a nightmare making an already painful process even more unbearable. The screen jumps all over the playlist and I have to move around every time I remove a tracks/move to another playlist etc.
