I had an issue with my Music app in the previous beta, which is now fixed.

Airplay didn't work (it worked if I did it in MacOS itself, just not if I used the icon in Music).

It might have simply needed the re-install rather than being an actual bug.

I have a notification saying that I need to set up recovery contacts for my iCloud data, but when I double check it has my previously selected recovery contacts in there still.

Yeah sounds like a bug. This sounds like this would be on the iPhone and iPad too tbh. Please be sure to feedback it if possible!

Was attempting to export a png file in Photoshop, was scrolling for a folder to save it to then entire computer froze for like 3 minutes, then suddenly rebooted with a black screen and saying there was a problem and press any key to continue startup. Computer booted back to last state minus the save window in Photoshop. I'm going to monitor to see if it does this again. Only programs open were Photoshop, two Finder windows, Preview and Safari (with 3 tabs open)
