Broke with Golden Gate iOS 27

Used to work well. Since updating to iOS 27 only plays first song of the album selected then stops.

Fix the Tahoe problems

Users haven pointing out that the remote app doesn’t work properly with Tahoe Macs for over a year. Why hasn’t this been fixed yet?

Missing Features

It would be nice if you could add tracks to your playlists & create playlists from the remote as well.

It would also be better if you were able to have a column browser too

Great but seriously …

This is a really useful app. I use my Mac mini connected to a DAC and some nice speakers to run Apple Music with Hi-Res streaming. This app allows me to control that remotely. It’s extremely useful so I don’t see why Apple has stopped maintaining it. The only other way to play music is to airplay it from Apple Music on my phone. However, this is not HiRes. Apple - please maintain this app.
