I wish we could have the windows iTunes back on MacOS. Its a better app that is way easier to navigate and use the find feature. Music on MacOS is a giant pile of confusion. Secret key commands to bring up the old find features. Kludge.

I miss iTunes. The mac/tech blogger sphere was all aflame in their hate towards iTunes for reasons I don't understand. iTunes was a superior app to music. I especially like how easy it was to create my own ringtones.

I wish we had a simpler, more functional music app on iPhone too - Apple Music is messy.
