Another huge annoyance with Apple’s Music that replaced iTunes, the Playlists have all reverted back to Playlist view!

OK, so I have another complaint with Apple Music, it’s music portion of the previous iTunes app for Catalina 10.15.

I have spent many years getting my iTunes Library just how I like it, including rating everything with Stars, and setting up my playlists just how I like them. And that has always meant View as Song vs View as Playlist which has been the default for way too long.

In iTunes you set up your default view with all the categories that I wanted, something like this:

And your new playlists show up with that organization once you switch to Songs instead of the damn Playlist view that doesn’t give enough information including track order. And it still does that.

The problem is that for all my existing playlists, and we are talking a FUCKING SHITLOAD OF PLAYLISTS they have reverted to the initial setup of these categories.

This is seriously fucked up! I have literally thousands of Playlists, and to have to change the settings individually for each playlist would literally take forever! WTF Apple! And I have always organized my music into playlists so I have a playlist for every album, but I put the year into the title so I can easily sync and know which year the album was! So I have literally a FUCK-TON OF PLAYLISTS!

I need a way to set the default setting and propagate it to all the existing playlists! FUCK ME!

I posted about this on Apple’s Ccommunities, not that I think there is a solution that doesn’t require me fixing every playlist individually.
