Safari is now Version 16.5 (18615.2.1). Music app is, however, the same as on 13.3.

working pretty well, altho some issues still not resolved. for me, the quicklook crash, the white-safari-tab-text in dark mode, and... the 'file not found' issue. c'mon apple! 🙄

Can you add those to Remaining issues with the version that they first appeared in, and can you be sure to update it when the next betas comes out? All issues from the previous release will go to Untested until someone puts them in either Resolved, or Remaining.

i've got the reports from feedback assistant, but not sure which version they correspond to...

My Music application crashes immediately upon opening, repeatedly. Have tried rebooting, no improvement.

there is a message that says it’s “Updating iCloud music library”, and in about 2 seconds it crashes.

I filled out several feedback assistant submissions.
