macOS Music - "Recently Added" no longer showing all entries

Apple: please fix this. It's unacceptable to remove a long-time feature for no reason. At least leave it in as a toggle or option. iOS can still do it in the album view. Why can't my more powerful Mac?

Same issue after the update, it's a really bad change for navigating a library temporally. The songs view is not sufficient. I don't understand why they would limit the strata for sorting on album view in this way, completely pointlessly makes the app way worse.

It's fixed! With the just released macOS 14.2 Apple fixed it!

Brief reminder for everyone here going @Apple as if this was some sort of Xitter thread:

If you want Apple to change this, you must, MUST, MUST fill out this form here: Product Feedback - Apple

Apple does not trawl these forums for fixes, assistance, or to see what everyone hates about their "Fixes". Don't @ Apple here— do the legwork and actually SEND them a direct message (for those of you on Xitter and TykeToke, it's what's known as a "DM") using the form. Use the form.

No, don't @ me, use the form. If you have a problem with how Apple has crippled their music player, YOU MUST WRITE THEM DIRECTLY.

ONCE MORE FOR THE CHEAP SEATS: CLICK THIS LINK AND GIVE THEM DIRECT FEEDBACK. Posting on this message board does not get them the info they need to resolve this massive issue. They need to hear from you. And I bet you dollars to donuts, if those 83 people who marked this as "Helpful" went an filled out that feedback form, this will get rectified.

BUT YOU NEED TO FILL OUT THE FORM. LIKE 3 DIFFERENT PEOPLE IN THE THREADS HAVE STATED THIS.

FILL. OUT. THE. FEEDBACK. FORM.

This is actually pretty critical for me as "Recently Added" has been my main way of listening to music the last 5(?) years. Working at a music venue i add a lot of albums from different bands every week. For the last couple of years "Recently Added" has been the easiest and best feature on any platform in helping me checking out bands/ artists and keeping control on my music consumption.

If this won't come back, i might actually be looking at switching to Tidal

I've sent feedback. I also have worked exclusively in 'Recently Added' because I am adding music constantly. I'm a 30-year veteran DJ producing a community radio show, and this needless change to the Music app seriously disrupts my work. Suddenly I cannot access easily the music I added last week, which is how I routinely choose new, fresh music for my audience. This is a terrible change that continues the descent from iTunes. For nearly the first time in over 40 years of being Apple-centric, someone who helps others learn Mac skills, someone who has purchased dozens of Apple computers for non-profit organizations, I am questioning the advice I often give others: Apple just makes computers that let you get your work done. It's getting harder to do, for me.

ItsPhilos,

That is quite understandable. I actually can't be sure how many folks have been using "Recently Added" to look all the way back in time chronologically, but it does seem that functionality has been removed. You can certainly provide your feedback directly to Apple at this link:

Product Feedback - Apple

I came here to tell everyone as well as I just noticed it's back.

I'm honestly surprised Apple listened and fixed it so quickly.

It's not quite the same (it used to expand the album in the same grid view, and now loads the album separately), but this is a minor issue compared to the basic core use case.

I feel like this is a bug, particularly when https://music.apple.com shows 150 titles rather than 60, nevertheless I suspect it will help if people use Product Feedback - Apple to let Apple know they would like the correct behaviour restored.

I have reasons to believe that feedback has been effective. Hopefully the next update isn't too far away.

Thank you, Apple, for listening and restoring functionality. Just in time for me to produce my best-of-the-year radio show playlist. Easily done again, the recently added year.

I just updated to MacOS 14.2.1, and IT'S BACK!!! I can see again my full "Recently added" playlist back to 2005!!! Apple listened to the community! I am beyond grateful!
