I've also read people have much hate for the Music app. But I think it boils down to 2 things: 1. In certain setups macOS tends to launch it automatically and in unwanted situations, for example when a headset autoconnects. 2. People are pissed about the annoying ad-like pushing of subscriptions and other stuff. I don't have those problems. As mentioned, disabled "Apple Music" and "iTunes Store" and all that crap disappears from the UI. I also don't have a headset. The good things: - It integrates nicely into the OS (as you would expect from Apple's own apps). - It's very flexible in the ways it displays your music. It has everything from a mini player with varying degrees of info display up to a full screen mode.
