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

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.

OMG. I just updated to Sonoma and discovered this hideous example of "enshitification". I don't understand how developers look at a feature like Recently Added in the Music app and just decide to gut it into oblivion. Recently Added, the way it was, was incredibly useful. Now, with it only showing 60 titles, it's less than pointless. I upgraded this past summer to a brand new M2 Mini after slugging it out on my 2011 Mini for over a decade and went through **** trying to transfer my music library from iTunes to the new Music app. It was a nightmare that took weeks of fussing to finally figure out and resolve. Even at that, I found the new app significantly "dumbed down" compared to iTunes, and it would seem the slide just keeps on slipping.

I'm having the same issue after the update. Put in a call into Apple support to investigate. Hopefully this will get fixed in future updates.

This is a really poor change. Previous to the update I could sort the Albums tab by date added - that is also missing. Can we open a bug fix / feature request anywhere so this comes back?

Ouch, that is an unwelcome change. I'm seeing it too. As ed says use Product Feedback - Apple to let Apple know you prefer the previous behaviour.

I would like to strongly urge you to fill out the feedback form, like you're supposed to: Product Feedback - Apple

The awful thing about the difference between this issue and iOS is that at least in iOS' Apple Music app, you can sort Albums by Date Added. They have left it out for a stupid reason in MacOS, and truncated the Recently Added section. Gotta have one or the other, Apple— let us sort by Recently Added to the beginning of time or let us sort in Album View by Recently Added. Leaving this feature out is maddeningly stupid, and easy to fix.

Yea, I'm not very hopeful myself. I can't think of any examples of Apple reversing a change that they made that was unpopular with users.

However all we can do is send feedback. I don't know if this is new, I don't remember seeing it before but there is a link to send feedback about iTunes not that this is iTunes anymore. Wherever we send feedback at least someone is reading it.

ITunes feedback

Apple Music feedback

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.

With an update last fall Apple made changes such that the Recently Added view only showed the last 60 entries to your music library. Then after a lot of very strong responses on this board, and perhaps elsewhere, they changed it back and you were once again able to view your entire music library in chronological order from the recently viewed section. Are you saying with this latest update that they have now taken it away again?

Actually there is, it's right here:

Only way they'll hear you is to send feedback!

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.

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?
