In Tahoe, how do I move the play controls in Music?

in 26.3 command line also does not work: it disables liquid looks but controls stay on bottom ... unfortunately. Every time I startup music on my old i9 macbook (non tahoe but ventura I think) it's such a relief to see the old interface...

please apple make an alternative 'old-school' option for Music in tahoe

It's amazing how they seem to think that change for change sake is progress and how have lost their way from the days of simplicity and great design.

please take the same amount of time to submit your Apple Feedback here to the product team:

I did--here's what I sent:

Couple things since the Tahoe release: The main one is why the heck did you move the play controls to the bottom and the status to the top? I complained about it at the beginning. Tried to adapt, but it still makes no sense at all? the only thing I can figure is that someone there like to see how they can screw with local customers. PLEASE PUT IT BACK!

The other issue is that when opening the app, it starts with a blank buffering screen. Prior to Tahoe, it always opened in whatever screen I last closed it, usually the library.

Lastly--the dropdown menu didn't account for macOS Tahoe 26.3 which I am running, and also doesn't account for ethernet connections.

I'm running 26.3 and having no success with the above Music app fix in the Terminal Utility. Player still obscuring songs etc. Was happy with the iTunes/Music app.....didn't need drastic reworking. Any thoughts...???

I did this too.

You have no idea how happy this made me. Thank you!

YAAAAAAYYYYYYY thank you! The controls are back where they belong.

This no longer works in 26.1 sadly.

Ugh 26.1 broke the fix :( Anyone else have any ideas? It really makes you think what Apple's UX & UI teams are thinking these days. Really bad stuff

Can confirm Tahoe breaks this defaults fix for moving the playback controls to the top of the window in the Music app *extreme eye roll, head shake combo*

Sent feedback ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Moving the controls is one of the worst UI decisions ever made, its counter to the design of every other app and forces a new cluttered design.

TY!

Super Bummed this happened,..
