Hi everyone,

I used to be able to play music that's on my iPhone on my computer.

I can do it using iTunes in Windows. I can plug in my iPhone using USB, and in iTunes I can browse all the playlists, play whatever song I want.

On my Sonoma MBA, seems like I can't do that. Apple Music doesn't play any songs on my iPhone. This doesn't work over USB or over WiFi.

On my Mac Pro, which is on Mojave I can play iPhone songs over USB or WiFi directly on the computer. I can look at the playlists on my Mac Pro, and queue up songs.. not once touching my iPhone.

Did Apple really move backwards here? Am I missing something?

Thanks.

PS. Why would somebody at Apple decide to remove this feature on a newer OS?
