There’s a lot about the Music app for Mac that makes me wonder how a trillion dollar company can produce such a crappy website (yes it’s a webview, not native), and the iOS app is jittery and buggy in its own way, but in the end I do agree it’s the best option around, and I’ve been a happy-ish paying customer for almost a decade now. (part of that time I had Spotify too)
- matwood 3y agoSame. If you use the Apple ecosystem it works well. I switched long ago once Google started pushing GPM to YTM.
- fiddlerwoaroof 3y agoYou can avoid most of the annoyances by always using the Songs view and hitting Command-B to get the columns browser like iTunes. Then edit the columns to browse in the menu.
- explaininjs 3y agoThat's a neat trick! I just wish there was a Playlist option and Favorites. (The "Groupings" component is empty for me, not sure if that is supposed to have the playlists)
- fiddlerwoaroof 3y agoFor playlists you can choose “view as songs” in one of the menus and then enable the column browser. I have a smart playlist for the classical genres that I do this for. The groupings is a tag that’s free-form text: one nice thing about Apple Music is you can edit the tags, even if you don’t buy the music. I typically split “Classical” into “Baroque”/“Classical”/“Romantic” and then rewrite “composer” to be “last name, first name (years of life)”
