#1563: Improved Apple Music audio quality, AirTag tracking scenarios, fixing Catalina update restart loops, broadband relief for struggling families

Apple has announced that you’ll soon be able to listen to Apple Music in lossless quality, with many tracks featuring spatial audio and Dolby Atmos surround sound. Some users have been caught in a reboot loop when trying to install Catalina security updates, and Adam Engst explains how you can fix the problem by clearing up disk space. Concerned about the cost of Internet access? New programs from the FCC and New York State promise to help struggling families afford broadband. Finally, if you’ve been having trouble wrapping your head around all the ways AirTags can be used and abused, Glenn Fleishman invents a slew of scenarios that illustrate some of the nuances. Notable Mac app releases this week include Microsoft Office for Mac 16.49, 1Password 7.8.2, Cyberduck 7.9, URL Manager Pro 5.8.1, and DEVONthink 3.7.2.
