View menu > Hide Large Artwork will show the track info, but you of course lose the album art.
Of course it's not a major issue, it doesn't make the system unusable, but it was a nice little experience thing.
I never use it, and wish I could delete it.
I regularly go to pause Apple Music and the play/pause button on my keyboard instead starts playing a YouTube video in some background tab/window.
I use it (or did, pre-Tahoe) to play iTunes-shared music over my network. Since Tahoe, it will play a couple (plus or minus a handful of songs) and then just stop rather than transitioning to the next song.
I've been listening to the actual radio for the past couple months because I haven't had the time to work out how to play my network-shared music.
