Issues with the Apple Music app
I have only yesterday realized that there exists a dedicated Apple Music app for pc. I was glad to finally get rid of the itunes app and was hoping for some improvements - and yes some things have significantly improved. The app is much faster, there exists a dark mode and it doesn't crash every 15 min. I also really like the feature to customize how playlists are shown. However I have experienced some other issues that make the app frankly unusable for me and since it seems to be impossible to switch back to the itunes app I might have to switch the streaming service I'm using. My main issues are:
- When searching my library the app will often unselect the search bar (as if I would be pressing enter) which will require me to click it again, which obviously I don't want to do all the time. When quickly typing this will lead to me accidentaly using hotkeys like space to pause music because of course those are active as soon as the search bar is unselected.
- Composers don't show in albums.
- Selecting "show in playlist" on a song/piece will go to the beginning of the playlist, not to the actual song, which makes this feature absolutely pointless.
- The "show album in library" feature when clicking a song/piece in itunes was apparently removed and now there is only "show in apple music".
- Any album that uses work and movement will not show the work but only the movement names in apple music. This works fine in my library.
- When clicking on a song/piece and either selecting "add to playlist" or "show in playlist" the app doesn't show playlist folders the way they were shown in itunes. This makes it really hard for me to use since I have a fairly complicated folder structure.
Other things that are annoying but not huge issues are:
- When searching, the app automatically selects "Apple Music" every time, even when I search "My library" 90% of the time.
- Skipping to certain letters in the library by pressing the corresponding key was removed (which was a really handy feature in itunes).
- Playlist folders in the sidebar will automatically collapse upon restarting the app. I don't want to expand them every time I restart.
Also the new app is still not capable of properly ignoring articles when sorting. E.g. "The Show Must Go On" will sort under T and not under S, which is a basic feature that I really hoped for when "upgrading" from the itunes to the Apple Music app.
Maybe for some of those issues there are actual fixes that I'm unaware of. I would appreciate any help.
I also understand that a lot of those issues only arise for people, who mainly listen to classical music so any information upon whether there will be an equivalent of the Apple Music Classical app for pc would be greatly appreciated.
