The current Apple Music version was introduced with macOS Catalina and should serve as an iTunes replacement. However, the main disadvantage of the program is that it is a web app and the content is presented like a browser. As a result, the application is slow to respond. For this reason, Apple decided to develop a native version of the Apple Music app.
However, the native Apple Music app does not only bring advantages. While scrolling and browsing search results can be made much quicker, setting up the application has been simplified a bit. Many visual effects have been completely removed from the program. As 9to5mac As of writing, the native version of the Apple Music app is based on the AppKit framework. Apple has used its JET technology to be able to display web content in a native application.
App is currently available for beta testers
At the moment, the native Apple Music app is only offered to beta testers who have installed the preview build of macOS 12.2. It is believed that with the final release of the new macOS version the application will be made available to all users. Whether Apple will make changes to the revised software and, for example, re-integrate visual effects into the program, is still unclear and remains to be seen.
