Try using 2005-era iTunes. Dense interface, everything like a table, clear UX patterns for clicking an album and then listing the songs in that album, no suggestions or lengthening your curated playlist without asking you, no animations or fancy graphics. Ok, it used to crash a lot but that's an orthogonal problem. Unpopular opinion: "Design" is ruining everything that was good. Most suggestions for good "UX/UI" on HackerNews are shit. So are all the articles posted here and advice given. Most UI frameworks suck. The whole thing is rotten to the core.

Yeah I've never been an Apple fan, but I used to run iTunes on windows because it was fucking great. Then they added the album view stuff and performance degraded and it became unstable. I use Foobar now and sure Foobar takes a bit of power user level stuff to get it configured exactly how I like but it is a nice tabular music library I can search and then click on stuff to play. No bs fancy crap screwing it up
