That was our little take on common macOS 10.15 Catalina problems. Something tells us there’ll be lots of newly discovered headaches. But If you feel you’ve had your share of incompatibilities and bugs, you can always go back and clean install macOS Mojave.
13. The iTunes XML crisis
With iTunes being history now, its remnants keep chasing users from beyond the grave. Apparently, some DJ apps have been relying on a specific XML library file that’s now dead and gone with iTunes.
The new Music app was supposed to provide a manual workaround, alas it didn’t. This seriously disrupts the DJ business on planet Earth — until Apple releases a fix in the next macOS Catalina update.
The notable DJ apps affected by this are Traktor and Rekordbox. The issue has made the world news and was even covered by Forbes so the fix is hopefully, already in the works. The last-ditch option that’s left is to you is to downgrade to macOS Mojave so you can enjoy iTunes in its full glory again.
