Can you please let us know what is the Music app exact version with this release? I’m wondering if it’s the same as in the RC.

To note, for M1 Mac, the VisualizerService-x86 is still present
 
And yes, I didn’t expect them to rewrite the whole app to be native within a month but rather to start the process and do it incrementally. We will know soon…
Probably in the minority her, but I still kinda wish Apple would take a year off between major OS releases. Spend the two years rewriting everything (or at least as much as possible) to be native Swift & SwiftUI code. Streamline as much as possible, and get all the OSes (macOS, iOS, iPadOS, etc.) as standardized as possible. That way, in later versions, they can add a lot new features more easily and standardized.
 
Just upgraded from Big Sur. Installation took a while but all seems to be running OK (on my 2017 27" iMac).

Positive: SMB connections seem faster.
 
Will it fix the MagSafe issue I have on my 14" I wonder... I have the amber flashing light thing, and the charger randomly turning off and on. Pretty frustrating!

There isn't any issues with MagSafe. The only issue was in 12.0.1 i think where when it's powered off and the lid closed. The MagSafe will be stuck in a cycle. But yeah it's fixed and there is no more MagSafe bug AFAIK. Are you sure it's not your MagSafe cable or the laptop since i think it could be hw issue

Edit : and it was only on 16"

In case it's not clear, Big Sur 11.6.3 alone does not fix the Safari vulnerability. I'm guessing we'll have to wait for Safari 15.3 to show up in Software Update for those on Big Sur.
15.3 showed up for me.

macOS and iOS are already very "standardized." I'm for fixing all the bugs though.

FINALLY.
After all these weeks, it fixed the broken search field in the Music app.

I needed to search for the same thing twice for it to work properly, or else it would always return the old result.

It seems that, more or less, this is what they have done with iOS 15. There were no major new user-facing features, but under-the-good many binaries have been rewritten to use Swift and SwiftUI adoption is increasing.

There appears to be a bug in the new music app. If you have a playlist with songs with from a disc other than Disc 1, it adds the disc number heading in between songs of the playlist. For... some reason. Appears to just be a visual bug but still strange.
 
Upgraded MBA late 2018 i5 16Gb / 500Gb from 12.1 to 12.2

Upgrade went smoothly, download very quick.

Post processing though still chugging away after 20 mins, activity monitor very busy, mds & mds_stores 50+ all the time constantly spawning many subprocesses so I guess it has done a lot more than usual to files. Average CPU used to be around 5% (user) now 20%+ (user) 10%+ (system) but hopefully will settle down at some point.

Edit : Just completed the indexing, so I'd say 45 mins for indexing after upgrade.

No the new Music app is there.
It’s just that all the changes are in the way the app was built, not the user interface.
So the most you’ll notice is that it might be a little bit more snappy here and there, but in terms of the regular user experience, no differences
To be honest, i see no difference at all! Like none ... :D It is so behind what Spotify, Tidal or any other service offers. Makes me think, when it comes to software, Apple is always a step behind!
