They have introduced new bugs in this version.
I edit metadata for an album in the recently added window (edit: not limited to recently added)
If you select the first track using Get Info, edit it and move on to the next, you might be at some other track or even a track in a different album

I've had that same issue in the last few weeks, sometimes it acts like it did before, other times it seems to go alphabetically. Of course, when I go back to try and update some tags this bug appears, at least I figured it out ahead of time although it was more time consuming. I notice that scrolling seems to be better during the UI but yeah fix one thing break another it seems.

Please add the fact that they've removed the automatic creation of a tiled artwork for each playlist based on its contents and replaced it with a disgusting 1990s gradient square.

Playlists used to create a 2x2 grid of the album art from tracks in the playlist, and now that's not the case. You can choose your own file, or pick from a list of gross MS Word 97 gradients.

As someone with an extensive library, who relies on Playlists heavily, this is a hideous change.

Ever since the move from iTunes to Music I have just assumed they have had no-one working on it.
It just seems to limp along with a ton of bugs that they don't fix.

It is incredibly depressing to find out that they HAVE been working on it but have just made things worse.

Occasionally, after playing for a long time, Music loses sound. Silence. The song continues to play, but there is no sound.

New feature? New Bug is probably more like it.

I routinely have a Spreadsheet (or two) open on the Right Side. Left Side is a Text File. I switch back and forth when one of them isn't Temporarily minimized to access a different Text or Spreadsheet file. In the background there is/are browsers with five and more Tabs ready for access. (One has an even dozen Tabs). Nice way to track UPS/USPS/FedEx-whatever packages.
Then without warning whatever I'm switching to opens up to Full Screen. Hey, except for things like videos I have to watch (Zoom meets, etc.) I NEVER have something filling The Entire Screen. Top half This Spreadsheet, Bottom half That Spreadsheet. What goes into Bottom needs to be copied into Top spreadsheet. I Do Not Want Either Spreadsheet Filling The Entire Screen.
Tracking UPS code and I'm about to enter a new set of numbers. I'm about to copy a Long set of Alphanumeric characters and the browser page suddenly fills the screen. Chances are I haven't copied the numbers yet. ☠️

How do I disable that new "Feature"?? No More Full Screen Unless I Activate It.

Unless I have to listen to something important or I'm busy away from my Desk, I am Continuously listening to music. I have over 11,500 pieces of music in either my Mac mini or my iPad. That's nearly a solid month of uninterrupted music.
Last year when I transferred music from my Mac mini to my iPad I found that they went In Synch. 😐😐😐😐. I Don't WANT them Synched; I got literally thousands of duplicates on the iPad. A year later I am still finding Duplicates.

There are pieces of music that sound very well at home on the Speakers, but their softness is Not Good on iPad. I have hundreds more songs that are ready to be sent to my iPad. But I will NOT Synch them with my Mini.

Music does not support spreadsheets or text files my dude.
I'm talking about nearly Everything opening to Full Page without me telling it to.
OOPS! 😊 Should have gone to a different Topic. Sorry.

Please re-read the Previous post of mine where my iPad got Synched with my Mini and literally thousands of duplicate music files added to the iPad.

The covers sync back to the Mac app of course.
Yeah I've no doubt about that, but any time you edit a playlist on iPhone and sync it back to your Mac, you just end up creating a new +1 playlist, duplicating it in the MacOS Music App. I would much rather Apple just reverse the stupid change.

I just upgraded to Sequoia yesterday on macOS - I'm not going crazy, album/playlist artwork is no longer square right? It looks awful.
