I am not on the beta for Ventura yet, so no. However I have submitted feedback on each OS release since Catalina.
Offer criticism is not the same as whining.
Because none of the problems they're pointing out have been addressed in Ventura, and it's not unreasonable to state their disappointment in that fact. There's no reason to gatekeep the thread.
“Our interface is unclear but instead of changing it, we’ll just highlight that fact with a little dot.”
Thank you. I'm not sure I agree with this "solution", so I haven't added it as a resolved issue; but I have noted it.
Honestly, I don’t mind this. I feel like simply having a square highlight around the icon would have been easier, but I am not bothered by the dot because I can, at a glance and despite the accent color used, tell that it’s active. This small detail is such a massive bump up in usability that I hope they implement this outside of Music (at least as part accessibility) if they maintain the current design.
Yeah I don't really mind it either - I mean...it's better. My point was more that if your pants keep falling down, the right answer is to get some pants that fit, even though yes, adding suspenders would technically fix the problem.
I think I'm more annoyed/amused that someone fixed their sights on this, rather than the more glaring UI sins in Music, like having a 4" wide unmarked modal button for adding playlist descriptions. Or maybe that airplay interface in iOS that literally moves around as you're trying to tap speakers or adjust the tiny sliders.
I’m so disappointed they didn’t make any effort in fixing Music on Ventura… I can’t believe they don’t know their app is crap (they juste need to use it 5min with Apple Music and they’ll meet at least one bug for sure) and as Apple Music seems to be one of the biggest apple services I don’t see them abandon it…
So is there hope they are maybe completely rewriting it, but want to do it correctly (so it takes years)? I hope so… because people are giving money for this sh*t that is completely broken and unusable on macOS with trackpad and mouse (but when we see the new System Settings I’m afraid Apple forgot how to do an Apple that feels great on macOS 😬…

If I were a betting man, I'd say the next version of Apple Music is already way underway as a full rewrite across all platforms. If there's nothing new next year I'd be worried.
Hop you are right (but a little bit worried as well) as Apple has to make it right to macOS and keep some cool itunes features. Hope we won’t just see a Catalyst app from iPadOS :/
Playlists now show their title under the Now Playing bar when you scroll. It also shows this on Songs, Albums etc however it seems to be Library only so far, any Apple Music pages are still blank.
I say it every year and never follow through lol, but I might actually upgrade to Montery (this year) and run iTunes through retrospective as it seems stable.
You mean that big bar of nothingness finally disappears? 🤯 Does this also work when the playlist is displayed as titles? (the oldschool table view)
Sorry - one additional item I'd like to confirm as it's not presently listed in the wiki post. Can someone confirm whether it is still impossible to move Music playlists into a folder? Not sure why this is a thing, but it's very frustrating.
Sadly only for playlist view. Songs view still have 20% wasted horisontal space.
I don’t have my MacBook until tomorrow. Has anyone found anything changed in Beta 2? Any bug fixes? Thanks.
I wish Apple adopts a smaller footprint on the display brightness and volume status indicators on later beta version.
Music app on Ventura beta1 and beta2, local files only:
(1)
On Library->Songs (aka Columns) view, and with "Show Artwork" enabled, each artwork is fetched from the local music file - in other words, artwork cache is not working. But on other views like "Albums" "Artists" etc. all the artworks are instantly displayed (i.e. cache is working).
(2)
I have nearly 100,000 local files in my library. Also on Columns view, when sorted by "Album by Artist/Year", all the files are listed. But if I sort by other colums like "Songs", "Artist" etc. only about 30,000 files are displayed. In this case, if I switch to other views ("Genres" for example), then coming back to Columns view, all the tracks are displayed again. This started to happen on some version of Monterey.
(3)
When I select a track and press Command-I (Get Info), and with no focus in any editable textarea, pressing Command-N (next track) will create a new Playlist. If I click any textarea (get focused), pressing Command-N will work as expected (display info on the next track). This also started to happen on some version of Monterey.
