    Has anyone successfully been able to get Catalina running on a VM? I made a quick attempt to upgrade a Mojave VM running on ESXI 6.7U2 yesterday but it did not appear to work. I have not had time to debug yet but will try again later.

    So previously a rumor stated that Apple would create a driver API to allow companies to create device drivers for users to download.

    So far iTunes Match (on its own, I don't subscribe to AM) has been an awesome way to access my library from my work computer, but this missing artwork bug is slowly killing me. For some reason random albums' artwork fail to sync to other devices. After a bunch of googling it seems like this is...
