Apple Music to Get Animated Album Artwork in iOS 14.3 and macOS 11.1

You think you have it bad. I listen 99.9% of the time to the genre called Post Rock. Yet, Apple Music thinks I might be interested in something by Taylor Swift. Uhhh, no.yes, it's very nice, but better focus on improving things like the recommendation algorithm, which I listen to almost all rock, alternative, metal and so on and recommends me songs like "Jose Feliciano - Feliz Navidad"
I fully support your comment, high definition audio is what we need to get the most out of my AirPods PRO, Apple should immediately implement SPACE AUDIO on the music platform, since there is very little content on Apple TV that has that quality and characteristic.

This has been a huge irritant for a while now, every time I turn around I have to delete duplicate playlist, or duplicate songs for music I purchased
Would be great if the Music app played Music reliably. Perhaps it’s an anecdotal BS story / edge case but I rarely use the Music app except with CarPlay and since iOS 14 the music app routinely just craps out there. A playlist would be happily playing along (downloaded music only; no streaming) and it will just stop for no good reason. ¯\(ツ)/¯ But hey animated artwork would be great ’cause I look at that while using my ears to listen... while driving. /s
Buy your music in hi-def (no not in the iTunes Store) and be done with. You will own it forever and don't have to pay a dime for the rest of your life to listen to it.

How about just fixing the Music app on macOS so it doesn't take ~15 seconds to load content when you first start it up?
The Spotify app is so much more responsive. What is going on with this app?? It's like trying to load a webpage from the 1999 Internet.

And if the MR news article read, "Google Adds Animated Artwork to Google Play Music" then the MR posters would reply saying, "Good Job Google, Apple needs to step up their game and add pics of artists to my library to find them easier!"
And if the MR news article read "Apple adds Hi Def Audio to Apple Music" then the MR posters would rely saying, "Yeah yeah, just fix the bugs because nobody cares about Hi Def Audio when using AirPods".
And if the MR news article read "Apple greatly improves Search in Apple Music" then MR posters would say, "Now I can't find anything since Apple returns searches with too many similar names, Apple needs to get their act together".
Same reply types on every news article only because it's Apple. Had this been Google or Microsoft nobody would waste 5 minutes of their time to care to post such hate for something small like animated artwork. SMH.
Huh, I was expecting more positive feedback on this. Maybe I’m not as old and out of touch as I imagined...
It’ll drive me nuts to have to keep changing the batteries in my record sleeves.

Not really sure where posted that I hated it, but ok.
My complaint is valid and so are those of others. It's my time to waste; what do you care.
I'm sure people complain plenty about Google etc. Take a look or don't, I don't care. But we'll complain or say whatever we want. How about responding to the actual complaints or refuting them. Instead of being offended of Apple's behalf.
Increased bandwidth and storage requirements. Plus nothing is free. If a few of you actually want lossless then you’re going to have to pay for it.
Unfortunately this refers to Apple Digital Master (ex mastered for iTunes program) which allows higher quality AAC encoding directly from studio masters. Apple is looking like this is the way they intend "high fidelity", so I don't think they'll give us the full lossless music file. I hope they change it because sound quality has to be improved and in 2020 they're supposed to give more options. Now it's really up to Spotify and Apple Music to play the catch up game in order not to stay behind competition.
Agree 100%! Focus on something meaningful like Bluetooth 5.2, aptX hd, etc. Animated album art, new emoji‘s, new wallpaper, etc., is useless. This device has become an over priced camera with cellular capability. I can’t help but to laugh at how lost they have become with the iPhone. They certainly don’t have the talent to innovate and they cannot keep up with Samsung so they focus on silly software distractions.
