Missing "Join CD Tracks" option in Apple Music app on Mac mini with macOS Tahoe

The Tahoe 26.0 Music application does not provide an option to "Join CD Tracks". Sequoia was able to do this.

Same issue here. Previously, I was able to combine tracks when importing CDs—specifically on DJ mixes—so I could create a continuous mix with no gaps. After the Tahoe update, the option no longer exists.


There are, of course, other ways, such as using Audacity. But this was such a valuable feature of iTunes/Apple Music.


Was this intentionally removed by Apple? If so, why?

I've an M1 Mac Mini and the list of bugs and faults associated with Music / iTunes I have now after installing Tahoe is truly unbelievable. I have over 60,000 tracks in iTunes as I basically treat my Mac Mini as a jukebox. I've had to set aside a number of mix CDs as I can't access the 'Join CD' feature any more. The eternal spinning wheel now makes all too regular appearances and what is this?!?


That's just three issues of many. The errors and bugs in iTunes/Music are so numerous and so egregious as to have me seriously looking at PCs for the first time in years.

Having the same issue on a M1 Studio Mac. Besides losing the "Join CD Tracks" option, I also found a bug in the "Get Info" pop up window when trying to review/modify info. The directional arrows (< >) do not follow the order of the tracks as listed in 'Library/Artist'. For example: for the Album 'Abby Road' under The Beatles; If you open 'Get Info' for track 1 (Come Together) and the select the forward arrow (>), the info window "should' advance to track 2 (Something). Well if the sort order in "Library/Songs' is anything but 'Artists A-Z, the Get Info window will advance/backup depending on the "Songs" sort order, (for example: Date Added -latest)
