Apple Music software on Mac is truly horrible, and I remember how bad iTunes used to be. It's the slowest UI I use (besides some Windows things), and it routinely goes catatonic if you
toggle a vpn or switch networks, etc. adding some things:
* the bar for scrubbing is what, 2 pixels wide?
* airplay is broken. it does. not. work. It takes about 5 iterations of pausing, restarting things, and prayer to get it to play through its speakers and a homepod. And god forbid you then pause it for a couple minutes or want to hear something from the browser for a second.
* If you want to mirror to an appletv and hear sound... good luck, be sure to designate a beneficiary before embarking because you'll probably want to kill yourself.
These aren't complicated things to identify or describe. They aren't edge cases. It's the basic functionality and it is absolute shit. How can anything get this bad? Do apple employees not listen to music? Is each feature made by a different siloed team? It doesn't take a silicon valley visionary to fix these things, but they are clearly missing something in their org
