I use my MBP through a USB-C dock with an external SSD attached and whenever Time Machine or CCC triggers a backup my audio starts skipping. Sure, that isn’t Apple Music’s fault, but it’s part of the ecosystem and that kind of performance should be considered when designing the system.
And then the UI. All web views with click delay.
I like exploring jazz and electronic genres but navigating and scrolling to start one sub-genre takes like 30 seconds. There’s no way to pin genres that you like or hide genres you don’t care about.
I feel like my collection of music from 2000s is gone, even though it was uploaded to the cloud or something … through some apple program 10 years ago. I still have the metadata of my collection but even that is just a facade.
I just started playing a Youtube video and a Spotify song, then clicked on the audio button in the Touch Bar and it looks like this, double clicking the icon opens the appropriate app (opened that through the Control Strip, enabled in the Keyboard settings): https://ibb.co/6Pr1V6x
Though I guess the point is moot since the Touch Bar seems to be being phased out, and also due to the existence of 3rd party apps...
