where is the remote button in Music Version 1.0.0.426?

I am trying to pair my iPhone with the new Music app (Catalina). I receive the code, but the remote button is not where it used to be; the upper left hand corner of the "iTunes window" as the instructions on my phone say. Is it possible Remote has been un-supported in Catalina?

Hi jnorberry,


Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities! It's my understanding that you are unable to pair your Remote app with the Music app in macOS Catalina. I am happy to help.


The Remote app is not available to control music in macOS Catalina Music app. You can use Siri to play songs in Music on Mac, however. Learn more about options here: Apple Music User Guide for Mac - Apple Support.


Please feel free to share your suggestions and feedback on the Remote app with macOS Music here: Product Feedback - Apple.


Thank you for your post.



Take care.

Thank you Apple for removing features in Catalina so that our Apple Watches which we pay hundreds of dollars for no longer work with your product. You put the Remote Icon on the watch and we expect to be able to use it as we always have. You have also removed Widgets in Catalina which I have used for a long time. Catalina is also having problems with Energy Saving Mode which must be a new feature to keep Technical Support People employed.

??????????????????????????????????????????????????


What possible good could this be to anyone? Is there something coming down the pike that will make this okay? I have recently suffered a stroke and this would have made my life suck just a little bit less. Definitely unsatisfactory.
