Music app and album artwork in songs view

Greg, I agree Catalina was abysmal.  We installed it in three of our four macs and had nothing but issues.

It has been a nightmare experience for me.  We moved to a new home in November and a family member works for  Sonos.  She helped me buy a system and install it.  At the same time, I upgraded to Catalina.  Sonos and Apple did not work on this transition and the speakers did not work with Catalina. I mf oved back to another Mac with iTunes and not the Music App.  That worked.

 

I purchased a new Mac Mini that came loaded with Catalina, I transferred the Music files to the mini and no album artwork.  So, I am not a fan of Catalina.  I have been an Apple user, supporter and stock holder since the 80's (stock is paying for retirement).  Tech support here in the retirement community talked me into moving my cd's to digital as a way to keep me busy and out of their hair.  Apple iTunes was good for that.  The Music App has created chaos in my digital library as I did not purchase a lot of the songs from Apple, the information in the cloud is different than the actual cd.  

 

Sorry to rant Kirk.  I hope big Sur is more music friendly.

Yes, there have been problems with artwork, but I've had no issues using Sonos speakers from my Catalina Macs. 

Sonos speakers originally did not recognize playlist in Music App/Catalina.  We now have to set up an iTunes folder in Music.  I kept that computer as Mojave and use mostly playlist(s) with Sonos.

 In the end it was no more than a minor inconvenience. 

Yes, minor but still an inconvenience.  Not even sure I like the Sonos set up.
