[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1872026, member: 38864"] It should also be asked if there is any coherent reason to NOT upgrade to Big Sur. If you are running any 32-bit apps that you rely on and cannot or will not replace with 64-bit alternatives, then that right there is a good reason. As for iTunes vs Apple Music... don't confuse [I]Music[/I] the app with [I]Music[/I] the streaming service. I know early on there was a sorting feature that DJs relied on that went away in Music, but I believe Apple addressed that. Functionally, it's the same otherwise. As for why you should upgrade.... well keeping up with security updates is the widely-cited big one. It's not THAT big of a deal in the grand scheme of things as long as you keep up with the updates that Mojave should still get for a short while longer yet and otherwise are smart enough to avoid bad software and gnerally use "safe" browsing practices. But do you really want to stay on Mojave indefinitely? Eh, if you do, it's your choice and again, not really the end of the world. Some people stick with older version of OS X and do just fine. Big Sur is widely seen as a much smoother upgrade vs what Catalina was, though waiting it out until at least now with the 11.1 update was still a good thing to do since some people did have issues with the initial release. You could always consider making yourself a clone of your current installation to an external drive, then upgrade to Big Sur and try it out for a day or two. If it doesn't work out, restore your clone. But if you want to stay on Mojave, like I said, it's not the end of the world and you should be fine. [/QUOTE]
