Apple Music on Windows and iOS is now superior to the "Reskinned iTunes" on macOS

The Apple Music app for Mac is way too far behind, and it's frustrating.


The iOS, iPadOS, Windows, even Web Player has full apple music features functionality like Sing, Word by Word lyrics, transliteration(romanisation) etc etc but Mac has none of that.


It is in the same ecosystem, why is it left to lag behind. Apple Music app for windows was built from scratch (https://www.zdnet.com/article/goodbye-itunes-apple-officially-releases-replacement-media-apps-for-windows/ (from gemini)) but we are stuck with a reskinned version of iTunes.


Apple should focus on Apple Music for Mac as well, not just for iOS.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 26.2

Lyrics are available on MacOS. See lyrics in Apple Music on your Mac or PC - Apple Support


Sing is not. But also does not appear to be available on Windows. iPhone, iPad and Apple TV only it seems.


Yes, not all features are available on all versions of the Music app on all platforms.
