Bugs in Music app on macOS Tahoe 26.3

Also...

The spacebar no longer starts/pauses/stops a track--it highlights a star to the left of the track.

You must click or use enter/return.

I regularly use Music in my job. This is very inconvenient...

Since Tahoe I noticed the following :

• You only see the length of the selected songs or the complete playlist when displayed in Playlist. If you select Songs there is no way that you get to see the length (normally displayed at the top left of the window).

I don't notice this on my iMac M4 Tahoe 26.3. I see the song times no matter how I view them.

• Selection in Queue is inconsistent/not working for multiple files both for moving and deleting; it mostly only deletes or moves only one song (though sometimes two)

I'm not sure on this one - I can't reproduce what you are experiencing.

• Song volume is totally off. Sometimes it changes volume higher or lower mid-song. The difference between albums is now immense. It used to be okay before Tahoe

I've noticed this for a few years now, so it's not just Tahoe. It is pretty annoying.

• In Songs : if you scroll in a list of an artist and then select another artist the list does not go to top but scrolls down the top 5 or 10 numbers

This is not happening on mine at all. Even when I go to an artist that I have over 100 songs, it always starts at the top.

• In Apple Music, if you select detail of an album, you cannot right-click on the album to add to Library or play; you have to go back to the overview.

I tried this and I am able to right click, and do have the options to add to a library, or play, or any other of the usual options.

I'm thinking that maybe it's a bad installation on your machine?

Why doesn't Apple fully vet their iOS releases before releasing to users. Not the old Apple it used to be. Just rushing things out the door without quality assurance checks. Not becoming of Apple. Apple users bought into the ecosphere because they didn't disappoint. Please get it together before your competitors do. Fix Apple Music ASAP...

The spacebar works slightly differently in Tahoe. The spacebar triggers the highlighted control in the app. To get it to stop or start music, the play/pause button on the mini player at the bottom of the screen must be highlighted. Hit the tab key to change the control with focus until the play/pause button is highlighted. Now the spacebar will start and stop music as before. (It drove me crazy until I figured it out.)

Here's one I just discovered: I searched for a particular song in the Music app window, and it wasn't found - I knew it was in my library. Just for grins, I searched "Beatles" (I have everything they released, and more)...nothing - zero hits.

The search function would not deliver a hit on any word I entered, even though I knew the songs/artists were there.

I'd love to figure this out.

The spacebar on my iMac M4 Tahoe 26.3 does start, stop, pause a track. I just now double checked it, and it's working as well as it always has. Are you on the latest release?

Yes, up to date, it has not worked at all for me on Tahoe.

I regularly use Music for my job and am sure to keep it current.

I was hoping the latest update would fix it...

FWIW, I use a MacBook Pro, 13-inch, M1, 2020 and I keep all my Apple devices as up to date as possible.

There isn't a way around the bugs in macOS Tahoe in general, the OS is just unoptimized from a stability perspective due to the ToolKit bugs with how it handles Liquid Glass.

Yes, having problems with shuffle, with over 200 songs it keeps playing about 20, it's really annoying.
