The music app is completely inscrutable unless you subscribe to Apple Music and pretend you don't own licenses to audio you paid dearly for to them since 2003, or have no music you've added from other sources. Every single thing these apps do is push you toward this, and away from every other option, options that used to be available in iTunes. Not to be too paranoid, but it seems Apple's motivation to split iTunes into 3 apps is based only on them trying to urge us to subscribe to Apple Music, or some video subscription service, or some as-yet-to-come podcast service. Forget that iTunes was the worst app anyone ever wrote and that it got worse with every single iteration. Thanks in advance for any help or advice.
I want to be able to edit the properties and delete tracks. Is there another piece of software that I can use to just manage the music on my iPod Classic? I've tried a few but nothing seems to quite work. But I'm not sure I want all of my music filling up my Mac and I'm not sure if the iPod will take it's disc being thrashed about with a full sync (it's old and has misbehaved before). Having dug around I believe that I can get all my music into Apple Music on my Mac and then sync it through playlists to the iPod. I would also edit the properties of tracks on my iPod to make sure that things like albums and tracks were grouped correctly.Īll of that seems either impossible or harder with Apple Music on Big Sur.
On my old Mac I would manually manage the music, I'd copy something into iTunes, move it to the iPod and then the iTunes version might well get deleted. I've upgraded my Mac and now have a new M1 running Big Sur, and now I've realised that iTunes has been removed.
