Did they give up on the Music app?

Also for some time now, the playlist detail, like how many songs and minutes, are not in the top portion, that does not make any sense, one needs to scroll down the whole damn list to see those details ???

And when playing a song, you have to hover over the player to see time elapsed/remaining.

It's just not functional to hide things like that without some way to "always show it" if you'd like.

DEFINITELY A HUGE STEP BACKWARDS!

Is music app different for Apple Music vs non Apple Music? Mine seems different; less condensed that the screenshots posted here.

Is this a legitimate complain or just not liking any change? Like do you actually stare at the app and watch the seconds tick by when listening to music? I've never done that in my life.

It's not a change, it does it on Sequoia.

And yes, I do like to know how much time is left in a track when I glance at the App / Player.

There was a way to phrase your post that doesn't come off with that tone you did.
It'd could be a bit more polite and would be appreciated in the future. ✌️

I tend to be very sarcastic in nature. I admit my post was dripping in sarcasm, but it was meant to be more playful teasing rather than condescending. Reading it back it did come off badly though, I agree.

I find this annoying too. Still visible on an iPhone, not visible on a Mac. Don’t know why they decided to hide that away under a mouse hover.

If the recent touchscreen rumors are true, then all these floating controls at the bottom make sense. Instead of reaching to the top of the screen, you only have to reach for the bottom. My guess is that they are now testing it all out and getting users prepared and used to it now.

But just a theory.

Touchscreen Macs have been the subject of rumours since before the iPad was a thing. I don't think it is going to happen. Moreover, we would have seen more consistent UI changes across the board to reflect this.

I think the more likely reasons for this change are that Apple is unifying the app designs across platforms and (as !!! already wrote at the beginning) showing off Liquid Glass.

I just found this morning. Did they removed the "Add to Library" button in the mini player? I think I used to be able to add a new song to library directly in mini player, but now the button is nowhere to find.
