Current Apple Music, the app itself, is decent these days. They unborked it from Podcasts and Movies and put those in separate apps.

Just don't sign up for Apple Music's streaming service. Both Apple Music and Apple Music streaming are often called simply "Apple Music" these days, how confusing and dumb!

Same thing happens with Apple TV, the streaming box, and Apple TV+, their streaming service. Stupid, isn't it?

One of Steve Jobs goals when he returned to Apple was to simplify their computer product line naming schemes. Remember how may different Performa models they were in truly beleagured Dark Days of Apple, when Mike "Diesel" Spindler and Gil Amelio we CEOs? Way too many, that's for sure. All with slightly different specs and software bundles.

Jobs went too far the other way when simplifying their computer product line names.

Swinsian is a great Apple Music alternative, though I don't know any 3rd party software that lets you sync Apple's devices. Only Apple has access to that API to keep you using Apple Music (the app).
