When will Apple Music be Fixed?

Apple Music on Tahoe 26.2

When is Apple going to fix Apple Music on Tahoe. There are several problems, many of which are well documented in various forums (including Apple’s) and many industry publications. It has been close to six months, and still no real answers to the many, many problems in Apple Music. I have not even seen any acknowledgement from Apple that these problems exist. Here are just a few of the ongoing problems that need solutions:

EQ Settings on Apple Music running on Tahoe are completely inoperative

You have to move songs by screen when editing playlists. You can no longer scroll the playlist while moving a song to a new location

Apple Remote no longer works

Controls at the bottom of the screen blocks information. It was fine when it was at the top of the screen

The number of songs in a playlist was moved to the bottom. It was far more convenient when it was at the top of the playlist.

Every time you start Apple Music, the screen reverts to a small area on the desktop. It does not remember the last setting.

On iPhone IOS, albums that are compilations will only play one song

There are many sync problems when syncing apple music to from MACOS Tahoe to iPhone IOS 26

There have been many, many other problems reported. The burning question is when will Apple address these problems so we serious users of Apple Music / iTunes get on with our lives?

Mac mini, macOS 26.1

Recalling the adage about the 'squeaky wheel', the more noise users can make about issues we have with apps and hardware, the more likely Apple swill be to address any shortcoming.

You can leave product feedback or submit a request for features consideration in macOS or apps or if you have other concerns using this link: Product Feedback - Apple

I'd say "never". Apple has refused to fix the many bugs in the macOS 26.x Music app. Of the cases I've opened with support, the eventual answer is "this is expected behavior".

The amount of total Tahoe bugs is very UNexpected behavior, Apple. Worst. OS. Ever.

Yes I agree with most of these items. Only thing for me is Remote does still work, and I do see playlist song count at the top of the screen. But yes Music is very broken. Some things I notice a lot are:

When playing a song, and then editing under Get Info, then saving change, the song stops playing.

Crazy slow sync. 7-9 hours on average for me. I am limited to overnight syncing always.

Having issues with album art staying attached to songs

When syncing, some new playlists just dont sync for whatever reason. Then they do.

Very frustrating

In my case, I can see what is playing, but if I decide to play another song or select another playlist etc, Apple Music plays one song and then quits. I have to go and start Apple Music from the Mac it is running on. That pretty much defeats the purpose of Remote for me.

Apple Music is omitted from the software products that you can comment about on the page you suggested. That said, I do appreciate your suggestion. Thanks.
