And if you want to sync your devices and do old school stuff like put mp3s on them, that process will now take place in the Finder app. The change is set to take place with the planned arrival of OS X 10.15, code-named Catalina, in September.

I personally have over 7000 music files, most of them converted from my Vinyl collection or ripped from CD purchases. I want to know, for example, if my Beethoven’s 9th Symphony playlist, with movements in order, be accessible. Or for that matter James Taylor’s Sweet Baby James, copied from vinyl.
