Hello All,

I don't find real value in the music app. I typically listen to Bloomberg radio + or the current music app. I haven't updated to 8.4 yet. Are there features i'm missing that would warrant anyone else from getting 8.1? Especially since iOS 9 is close.

Same here. I'd rather stay on 8.3. I know what I'm doing with this. 8.4 is just a mass of confusion with everything hidden in menus.

The music app in iOS betas has seen many tweaks vs the 8.4 version. Menus aren't as long with 100 options anymore. Every new beta build has brought more and more little tweaks to the app making it better.

I'm stuck on the pretty stable iOS 8.3 and I'll skip iOS 8.4. If they don't change the Music app and the management of audiobooks, I may even skip iOS 9. In fact, I'll surely skip its first versions. I'll try iOS 9.2 or 9.3, or whatever number they use, in an Apple Store to make a decision in that time.

8.4 just sounds to be 8.3 with more bugs and a cack music player. I'll wait for iOS9, and not the first version either. I've had it with early adoption of iOS.

I come from the Mac OS X world. Upgrading to 10.X is the worst thing you can do. I guess the same will happen with iOS.
