Eddie Cue is a big problem at Apple. The music player gets worse with each release. I can cite easy to understand, concrete examples:
1. The red dot that used to be on the time line of the music player is gone now, making it harder to change the position of the player position in the song. The current thin line is harder to see.
2. As others stated, the intrusive and hard to avoid Apple Music part of the player is annoying. This should be a separate app. The blatant force to entice us into the music subscription is loosing us.
3. Single songs take an extra tap to play. Now the album or artist is brought up with the single song listed underneath.
4. Song controls default to being hidden, and the full controls are not as easy to access as they should be. Really, most of us would rather be able to control our music instead of stare at the large album art of the song.
5. If you do tap on the large, easy to tap album art of the single song, nothing happens, you have to tap on the song name to play.
Make it easy for us Eddie. That's why we bought into iPhone in the first place! If you are so itching to add features, why not give us controls for playback speed or an option for gesture swipe controls (not the default, but as an option in the settings)?
