Big Sur....Yea or nay?

I can’t stand the Music app either, but have you tried Retroactive?

I’m not on Big Sur yet, but iTunes 10.7 is running well on my Catalina install, and this version along with versions 11.4, 12.6.5 & 12.9.5 can apparently be installed on Big Sur.

Update to my comment about Music - the two big issues I had they’ve fixed! I wasn’t expecting that. Columns jump to the right letter when a letter is typed (if sorted by that column), and for the first time since iTunes was retired in favor of Music, artwork can be displayed in the leftmost column. Music still has its issues - for example, it processes purchased music very bizarrely - when it downloads the music, it displays every song twice, once as Purchased and once as Waiting.

Thanks for that makes sense and enhances my knowledge.

Agree completely but at 82 I could sure use a bigger font size in the menu bar!!

If you have a Retina display, it could help to visit Sys Prefs > Displays, choose Scaled, and select a larger text display.

Thanks Simon much better thanks.

You can do that even without a retina display. Instead of getting a the set of five scale factors to choose from, you get a list of your display’s supported resolutions (opton-click the scaled button to get the complete list of available resolutions if you don’t see the one you’d like).

Of course, these options scale everything, not just the menu bar text, which may or may not be what you really want.

There’s an option in the Display submenu of the Accessibility preference to enlarge the fonts in the menu bar (to their former size?).
