The latest update to macOS Catalina, version 10.15.2, brings back to beloved features of the old iTunes app. You can now view your songs library in the Music app using the Column Browser and control music playback on your Mac with the iPhone app iTunes Remote.

Glad to see both features are back and thank you for bringing this to our attention. One quick question / comment - with these new OS updates remote worked like at charm on my iPhone 8+ but it isn't working on my iPad. I can see the music but cannot control it. On my phone I had to go to settings and select Add an iTunes Library this gave me a 4 digit code that I had to enter in iTunes. On my iPad clicking on this option does nothing. Any ideas???
Carlos: Not sure. Maybe try a restart and see if that helps. Recheck all of the settings, etc.

Thx Gary - yep tried all that but for whatever reason I can't figure out it just won't work with my iPad Pro 9.7.

Doesn't work with my iPhone 11 and iMac, each running the latest version of their respective operating systems and both sharing the same wifi. The play button is unresponsive to touch. I have checked everything I can think of. The Remote app "sees" the songs in my library but can not "play" them. I have reported this as a bug to Apple.
