Improve Music.app & Final Cut Pro Integration
Apple Feedback Assistant ID: MISSING
DESCRIBE THE BUG: Apple Music implementation is severely lacking; you can't drag and drop anymore straight from music. Search in FCP is not working most of the time; I can't sort by the same columns as in Music. Once upon a time, under Steve Jobs, Apple placed a large focus on usability and ensured that functionality is system and application-wide if appropriate. For instance, drag and drop between Apple applications was a no-brainer. Now I need to spend 20 minutes to simply access my Music in FCP, and the only way is to export from music and re-import in FCP because often music which is clearly in my library cannot be found in Final Cut Pro, nor can I use the basic system-wide drag and drop functionality. The connection between FCP and Music is also not live, so if you make any changes in music, for instance, import new music, it will not show up in Final Cut Pro until restart or Final Cut Pro.
EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR: Have a seamless integration between music and Final Cut Pro, being able to search for tracks and sort the columns the same way as I could in music, have a live updating connection between Music and FCP

SPECS:
- 2021 16-inch MacBook Pro (M1 Max, 64GB RAM, 8TB SSD)
- macOS Sonoma 14.1.2
- Final Cut Pro 10.7.1
Not to mention the connection between FCP and music is not live if any changes are made to Music i.e. new music imported you need to shut down and restart FCP. It's like in the middle ages lol
