Apple Music Classical - Latest Quality Issues

I am very disappointed. The catalogue offered is very complete and of good quality. It's very easy to find the piece you want. But it was impossible to listen to the music. After many uninstalls and reinstalls there is always this infinite "loading..." Forced to switch to the normal app (I have an android) could you fix this bug please?

Good but room for improvement
Firstly. Thank you for this app. There is much to love about it. However … could you please include playlist folders. On Apple Music I have carefully organised and curated my music into folders, subfolders and playlists. Here, there is no hierarchy. All playlists are just jumbled together with no organisation. I think a special “classical” playlist type should be created that can be flagged as “classical” or not. Playlists created in AMC would be classical by default whereas playlists created in standard AM would need to be ticked as classical. We also need a Mac version. Part of the problem with folders is that they can only be created in the Mac version of Apple Music. Despite this Apple Music on iOS does display them. Why not here? Also .. an Apple TV version too please?

There have been frequent flashbacks lately
Recently, the app is very unstable, and it frequently flashes back when entering the search module, and the experience is relatively poor

Flashback, it doesn't work at all
Click on any partition to crash. Search for a certain piece of music, click on all versions and crash. There is no way to find music at all, and there is no channel to report this issue. It's disgusting enough.

Why do you keep flashing back?
Is it the same for anyone? For example, click on the browse - the composer immediately flashes back

I'm using it very well as a Koreanized classical app.
I use it too well as a classic-only application, but errors are more frequent than I thought. Some time ago, due to an error that certain songs could not be played (Lim Yunchan Chopin's 6th Lament out of 12 exercises), the problem was resolved only by deleting the app and reinstalling it. This time, when searching for Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 4, the first movement is missing from all albums that contain the song without exception (the same error occurs when searching for the same song on regular Apple Music). Please improve.

Android 15, after clicking play, the progress bar is running but there is no sound, and it will make all apps in the system unable to play sound anymore, and you can only uninstall this app to restore other apps to normal
