I don’t agree at all. While iTunes was feature rich and relatively stable, the replacements are relatively feature poor and quite unstable. Apple should’ve taken another year to introduce the replacements.
- kalleboo 7y agoIt could have been much, much worse. They could have ported over the iOS Music app.
- pmullins 7y agoI'm pretty sure that's exactly what they did. My understanding is that they based the macOS version on the iOS version. Explains quite a bit.
- kalleboo 7y agoThe macOS Catalina Music app is very much still based on iTunes. It still supports AppleScript, the preferences dialog is still a modal, it retains a bunch of subtle (not always desired) behavior in stuff like metadata edit autocomplete and multiple window support, etc, it even has the ancient legacy visualizer, it's all still iTunes. The Podcasts/TV/Books apps that got split out OTOH I believe are all iOS ports
