sorry, whats the significance/difference of the combo/delta update path?
Delta only updates 10.15.1 or 10.15.2 betas to 10.15.2.
Combo updates those too but also 10.15 to 10.15.2 circumventing 10.15.1.
Music app now restores where you are if you exit out of an album, eg if I am looking at Snow Patrol, it does not go back to the top of the list. This is a huge bug that has been addressed! Thank the Lord!
ONLY for album view. (And only if you don't scroll too far down at that).
I hope so. I still have to run Mojave in a virtual machine to use remote. I thought this update would fix that. Nope. Remote still doesn't work.
Yup support are clueless..
also here's 90 people with the issue: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/250713766
I've stopped even posting in their forums because Apple Censors it so badly you get a painted picture they wish for you to see. Further insult to injury when they are spinning even the support forums.
I updated to macOS 10.15.2 and iOS 13.3 today expecting the iOS Remote app to start working with Music on my 2019 iMac. I still have the same problem where I can see the contents of the library not not control them or get anything from "Now Playing." I've deleted and reinstalled Remote to no avail. This was specifically supposed to be fixed today—am I the only one still having the issue?
Also, I notice that Music is still preventing sleep when it's playing, which means my screen saver doesn't even kick on.

Those of you with Music iOS Remote app issues:
The trick (ie the way to work around the stupid bug that shows no-one at Apple really tried to use it before they publically announced that it works) is ...
Open the remote app, click settings top right and turn OFF Home Sharing. Open Music on your laptop and then click Add iTunes Library in the iOS app. It'll generate a 4-digit code and in Music's sidebar your iPhone will show as a new device (probably above the one that already exists. Stupid). Click that, and enter the 4-digit code. You're now connected.

Thanks for this. I really don't think they tested it, like, at all.
Looks like at least 10.15.3 before I jump in the pool. Just not feeling lucky enough yet.
If there isn't any feature in Catalina you're pining over, I'd say wait until March-ish. Or maybe wait until Thousand Island betas come out and try those.
That discussion does not appear to relate to slow reboots, which is what you were complaining about.
You know, it would be dead easy for MacOS to shutdown processing instantly. You could kill power to the CPU in a millisecond. But the OS needs to take care of things on shutdown, otherwise you can lose data amongst other things. And if things aren’t quite right – for a whole multitude of possible reasons – shutdown times can be long.
Your particular problem is not one that has been widely reported here.
I made the plunge and clean installed (using internet recovery) Catalina after this update came out. I never ever thought I'd say this: I miss iTunes. I find the separate Music & Podcast apps to be not Apple-like, lots of little things. Also, lots of beachballing when using Preview app, among other things.
Oh well, twas worth a trial. Time to restore my CCC Mojave backup.

I gave up on those and just bought USBC adapters - you're talking about the 2018 Mac Minis right?
It did for me, but you can eliminate it with the Audio Midi Setup app in the Utilities folder. Change the output format from the default 44,100 to something else.

System Preferences shows that you are up to date while it searches for updates. Also, I suspect Apple doesn't roll out the updates for all locations at the same time.
i just updated my imac to 10.15.2 noticed that before doing a restart it shows catalina background is that something i honestly dont remember that
