I recently ran into an issue with the Apple Music App in Sequoia. In every previous version of Mac OS when you press return while in the Apple Music app the highlighted song would begin playing. In Sequoia when you try the same logic nothing happens at all. Has anyone else run into this issue?
Got a tip for us?

According to the manual for Music on Sequoia, it should work:

hmm... not working here, either (altho i've never used the return key with music on my mac). still.... 🤔
for those it's working for, are you also on 15.2? (and for the OP: are you on 15.3?) i am, and it's definitely not working here.... (just wondering what the common denominator is)
After further investigation the issue seems to happen when I am on a playlist. If I am in my actual Library it works as expected. On my other Mac which is on Sonoma still everything works just fine.
15.2:
Return button works if I set the view of the playlist to "as Songs" (View > as Songs).
Return button doesn't work if I set the view of that same playlist to "as Playlist" (View > as Playlist).
Return button works if I set the view of the playlist to "as Songs" (View > as Songs).
Return button doesn't work if I set the view of that same playlist to "as Playlist" (View > as Playlist).
Thank you!..........I wonder if they intended for it to work as such in Sequoia. For several years it has always worked if viewed "as Playlist".
