Nothing of worth.
Here's what's new:
Left swipe to delete album.
Can add music to a playlist from another playlist.
Playlists no longer show album art, only shows once you go into the actual Playlist.
Rectangular shaped album art no longer shows white background on lockscreen; wallpaper shown inside
iTunes Radio now shows how many skips you have left.

That's something, at least. Always nice to see Apple return functionality that they used to offer in the past
And lyrics text got larger and bolder
it means it shows less lines than before
maybe they optimized it for the larger iPhone 6 screen
Do you remember the iOS 6 music app how much better it was with lyrics?
I miss those days.
I remember the iOS 6 Music App. From top to bottom, it was perfect. Then Jobs died, and Apple broke it.
Absolutely perfect.
sometimes i use my iPod touch 4th with iOS 6 installed
and i can feel how much the different with current music app.
It doesn't work perfectly, (iTunes Match for instance) and it's old, but Lagu is a music app that replicates the iOS 6 version. iPhone only.
Edit: no longer works with iOS 8.

Unfortunately Lagu doesn't work on iOS8. It worked on iOS7.
I've got it on my phone and the app launches but the music will not play
I e-mailed the dev last week requesting an update but have not had a reply. Since the last update was July 2013 I'm not holding my breath.

Crap.
That was true for the iPhone. But the iPad didn't have lyrics at all in iOS6, which was inexcusable given the extra screen space - at least that came back in iOS7.

Damn, I liked that app.
Furthermore. I've found that the now-playing-list resets itself annoyingly fast, which means you have to start albums or playlists again if you've opened other apps playing sound in the meantime.
