AirPlay settings are still ignored by in macOS Tahoe beta 5.

The separate built-in process for third party apps that handles Apple Music playback doesn’t pick up changes to the AirPlay route of the host app. So the UI will indicate that the AirPlay route was changed but music playback ignores it.

I first reported this in macOS 14 days (FB13313634). Getting worried it’ll ship like this in Tahoe, too.

Urgh. Things seem to be getting worse with in Tahoe not better.

Just filed FB19491503: “Critical regression: MusicKit plays tracks alphabetically rather than in requested order”.

No improvements in beta 6 or beta 7 on the messed up order of queue entries. Please don't tell me that Tahoe is going to ship with a broken .

New playback mode coming in Tahoe.

Fake macOS preference panel for Longplay with a new playback mode which cannot be deselected: À La Tahoe, aka FB19491503 - Listen to albums in alphabetical order of their tracks' titles. Exclusive to Apple Music on macOS Tahoe.

Little birdies tell me that a fix is in the works. Hooray!

Hooray. Looks like this one is fixed in on macOS 26.1. My other MusicKit-related radars, in particular about AirPlay or volume control, are still open though.
