Oh, and one more tidbit to know: macOS Finder is now the destination for all iDevice management on the Mac. However, I don't know how many people will easily understand that Movies are found in the TV app - which has all the same sections as that app, including Watch Now, Up Next and Kids. You've got the Coming Soon and Up Next sections, and there's even a Kids tab for parents looking for appropriate content (Apple's got a team editorially curating this section). The TV app mirrors a lot of what I like about its tvOS version. I tested it out and found excellent results, with Podcasts finding the moments in The Polygon Show where co-host Simone de Rochefort mentioned that time her and I met at Barcade. It's based on Siri, which is even more surprising. Apple now allows you to search the audio. No, I don't mean searching description text. Podcasts sports a pretty cool use of Apple's machine learning tech: the ability to search within episodes. This will likely be helpful for those who didn't realize that iTunes did more than music, freeing content arguably buried deep in that age-old app. The Podcasts and TV apps do just what you'd expect, delivering apps you're familiar with from iOS and tvOS to the Mac. MacOS Catalina Podcasts & TV: Welcome additions As I hoped and wished, all of iTunes' power-user features are intact, including iCloud Music Library and support for local MP3s. The best news out of all of this - aside from macOS matching iOS and tvOS for its media apps - is that Music doesn't drop any of iTunes' best features. Each resembles iTunes, with a navigation menu on the left, controls at the top, and the content in list/icon form in the rest of the screen. Except that its content lives on in the trio of apps dubbed Music, Podcasts and TV. Yes, the rumors of iTunes' demise are true. ITunes is dead, Music is a good replacement Performance was solid during that time, but I would hope that it would be, as that machine runs on an 8-core 9th Gen Intel Core i9 CPU with 32GB of RAM. I tested macOS Catalina on a tricked-out 15-inch 2019 MacBook Pro.
