Apple Music app is disgustingly SLOW

The app is a mess on Mac. I'm on a M1 mini and it really is outdated compared to all the other music streaming services. It's a nightmare and always lagging and bugging and just messy all round.

IOS and TVOS are fine but the MAC way of doing MUSIC is just poor. Contacting support won't change the state of a poor set up...

Hello Mick_M,

Thank you for reaching out to Apple Support Communities, and we'll be happy to help in any way we can. We understand you're having issues with the iTunes Store running slowly on your Mac. Try the steps here to see if they resolve the issue: If your Mac runs slowly - Apple Support

"If you find your Mac is running slowly, there are a number of potential causes that you can check.

• Your computer’s startup disk may not have enough free disk space. To make disk space available, you can move files to another disk or an external storage device, then delete files you no longer need on the startup disk. macOS can also help you optimize storage by storing files in the cloud and helping you identify files you no longer need. Choose Apple menu  > System Settings, then click General in the sidebar (you may need to scroll down). Click Storage on the right, then click the storage recommendations you want to use. 
• An app you’re using may require more memory than your Mac has easily available. You can use Activity Monitor to see how much memory your Mac and apps are using. See View memory usage in Activity Monitor. Also see the documentation that came with the app to find out its system requirements.
• Quit any app that isn’t compatible with your Mac. For example, an app may require a different processor or graphics card. See the documentation that came with the app for information about its system requirements.
  • To see what processor your computer has, choose Apple menu  > System Settings, click General  in the sidebar, then click About on the right.
  • To see which graphics card your computer has, choose Apple menu  > System Settings, then click General  in the sidebar. Click About on the right, then click System Report. Click Graphics/Displays to see the name of the graphics card installed your computer.
  • Quit any apps you’re not using.
  • If you have problems with your disk, use Disk Utility to verify and try and fix any issues."

We hope this helps.

Cheers!
