iTunes launches in the background but nothing plays when I choose an album from the screensaver album cover.

This said. Another ? ? BUGGY FAILURE.

I don't know what Software Engineering team Tim Cook + Eddie Cue + Craig Frederighi is doing all day.

Does the supplemental update solve the screensaver music album cover problem?

Anyone tested this out yet?

Is there a "golden master" 10.14.7 final installer with all fixes?

Wow, what a progress in Apple MS-DOS development. Now it works only in Terminal MS-DOS mode. Before it
worked in High Sierra without using the Terminal MS-DOS mode every time. ????

Wow, seems like this is a long-term issue since many years in OS X Mojave development.
Honestly, the "desert sytem" doesn't make a good impression.

Is this a political or a software related issue? I mean, many users (= ApplePay customers)
buy music on iTunes music store ? Even in Saudi Arabia. And for sure they wish to play
their music in DRM (Digital Rights Managment) with their iCloud account.

Yes or no?

I expect a 10.14.7 installer soon where everything works smoothly with all supplemental system
updates and browser updates. Customer is King.

Thank you.

I have reviewed many "final installers" from Apple at the end of their OS development phases
and honestly, it doesn't look good at the moment for Apple.

No luck after a clean install from a USB bootable stick with the latest Mojave installer downloaded from Apple.

This said, the recommendation from "Geniusbar" Apple Support failed. Music screen saver still does not
work. No internal speaker, no airplay, no whatsoever. "Zero Sound"

OS X High Sierra
> Arabesque was a dilemma

OS X Mojave
> Music album screensaver is a total dilemma

What a software progress ?

I can recommend a clean install without installing ANY updates afterwards. Use just the installer and
disable automatic update in System Prefs.
