![]() A lot of people are afraid things like that would be missing in the Music app but they're not. ![]() Import Settings you could still, when you rip a CD, set it to all the different things you want. You can store all your music on an external drive and turn this off and have them added to the Library that way. You have Copy the files to the Media Library so you could have files that are external just like before. ![]() I'm kind of getting this feeling that the Music app really is iTunes with all of the other functions besides music removed. So for Files you can set where your Media folder is located and whether or not things are kept organized. Playback you can do cross fades and sound check and things like that.įor Files you can set where the Library is. You can also Show or Not Show things like the iTunes Store though that seems to be always on here in the beta. You have the ability to have automatic downloads and sync your music library. In Preferences it looks a lot like iTunes. The playback button is up here including the ability to be able to shuffle and loop through the songs. So if you start a song we should normally be able to see the lyrics here. You can also go to History and see what songs you've listened to that have gone through the list. It's nice to have it here on the side instead. Of course if you're looking at songs you can click on the three dots there and you can have it play Next, you can have it play Later so you can add to your Up Next and kind of create this playlist as you go along. So instead of it appearing as a drop down menu at the top you can now have this nice slide-in sidebar here so you can see what music is coming up next. For instance, we have this new view here for Up Next. You also have the same Genius functionality that we saw in previous versions of iTunes. You can buy new music on a song by song or album basis. All of your previous purchases are still going to be there for you to download. You can go and browse through the iTunes Music Store just as before. It's still being used for the music store. So the term iTunes isn't completely going away. You also have the iTunes Store a big major part of this. You can also look by Genres instead of by artists or by composers as well. So all very similar to what we're used to in iTunes. You can click the Header field here to actually sort really quickly. You can also, of course, Sort in different ways. You've got under View, Show View Options and you can decide what you see there. You've got a Songs view and this is highly customizable. You've got Recently Added, you've got an Artist View which gives you a list of artists here and then you can scroll through them all and see all the different albums for each artist. So you have similar things as to what we've seen in the past in iTunes. ![]() You've also got the Radio section and of course there's a couple of free radio stations that we can all listen to but the rest of it will be part of Apple Music. If you're an Apple Music subscriber, like I am on my regular account, then you can access the For You and Browse sections here. So the first section here has stuff for Apple Music. So a lot of the different stuff like podcasting and to be able to rent movies and also being able to sync with your iOS devices, that's all gone and it's just focused on the music. The Music app has a nice clean look because you can tell right away it's missing some of the features of iTunes. The icon is pretty much the same but now it's the Music app. If you look you'll see what looks like the iTunes app icon. So I'm using a beta here of Catalina so things may change by the final version. You can join us and get exclusive content by going to /patreon.
