I just updated to Catalina and right away I'm struck by how clunky, slow, and seriously stripped of functionality that the Music app is now.

I can get over a lot of bad UI design or sluggishness, but I manually manage music on my phones and have always been able to search my phone's library inside iTunes to find and remove music that way. I can't for the life of me figure out how to do that now in Catalina's Music app.

I read online about Finder being involved with iPhones now (again - ridiculously redundant and stupid), but even inside that, I can't figure out how to SEARCH for albums on my phone without scrolling a massive list of 12,000+ songs to find the ones I want to remove.

Does anyone know if this is a function that even still exists on the new Music app when dealing with managing music on iPhones? I can Search using the top left search bar for stuff that's on my Mac, but not on my Phone.
