Apple Releases iOS 8.4 With Apple Music, Beats 1, and Revamped Music App

It's a common problem that started with iOS 8.3. I'm annoyed to hear it's not fixed in iOS 8.4.
Mine didn't start doing this until I joined the beta. I had no issues in 8.3 that I recall.
Having used it for a day the initial hype was over. I find my Spotify playlists better, and yes, they have a lot more songs.
I'd love to know, since the launch of Apple Music, how many subscribers Spotify have lost. Obviously they aren't going to release the figures but it'd be very interesting to know.
Sorry if this has been asked and I missed it but I downloaded 8.4 and got the 3-month trial set up. But I can't seem to just play my regular iTunes music like I used to. I have several songs from varaious albums from one artist, for example, and used to be able to play by choosing "artist" and then all would play sequentially. I can't seem to figure out how to do that with the new Apple Music. Any help would be appreciated!! (So far I am finding Apple Music a bit frustrating!!)
One thing that's irritating me is that you can add the same song to the same playlist multiple times. When you've got a 1000 song playlist it's hard to keep track of what you've added.
Spotify would give you a warning to say that the song is already in the playlist. No such feature from Apple.

I am very disappointed with this update. They took away the things I liked in the apple music player like shuffle play in artists and home sharing. I have no interest in Apple Music Service, so I have, temporarily, replaced the apple music player with Ecoute.
To be fair, Spotify just added that feature recently. It wasn't always like that...
I thought I read somewhere that on iOS (iPad and iPhone) that you could edit song titles and artwork for songs that you own and have downloaded to your device, but I can't seem to be able to find this option anywhere. Anybody know if I'm just remembering wrong about the feature altogether or how to actually use it?
Here is a perfect example of this not being user friendly. Before if I wanted to shuffle my library I would choose songs and then at the top you would see the shuffle icon it's gone on this new player. I see the shuffle icon only when your inside an album. What if I want to shuffle my entire library? Using iPhone 5.
It started it for me when I updated to iOS 8.3 (not beta.) I did run the iOS 8.4 beta, where it still did it, but I was hoping they would fix it with the final release.
It seems to be ok if you only have one or two apps to update. It seems to happen for me most often if I have something like 10 or 12 to update. They will all be downloading, and then *poof* ... Screen goes black and the Apple logo appears a couple seconds later.
I've been experiencing these random and VERY sudden reboots on my iPad Air 1st gen only. Both on 8.3 and now on 8.4 seems to be a bit more often. However my iPhone 6+ has never ever ever rebooted on its own.
My Music > Songs, play a song, slide up from the bottom, shuffle button and you shuffle your whole library.
