Seeing a lot of problems with Apple Music from those who have upgraded to Big Sur.

Your experiences?
 
Still slow as **** and a generally deeply unpleasant experience which doesn't even come close to Spotify's Mac app, which is itself pretty bad. It's no worse on Big Sur than before, but I can't say it's any better either.

It's got a long way to go before I can wholeheartedly recommend it. Only reason I stick with it is that it allows me to change the song metadata in my library and relatively straightforwardly upload MP3 files to my library to listen to on my phone.
 
A complete mess, especially search functions not finding files. And when the results do show, you can't view in list format, "view as songs" is gone. and a whole lot of other view options.
 
I'm not experiencing more issues than before. Yes, iTunes was a bloated, slow mess. This Music app is no better. It's still just a slow.
