Apple Seeds First iOS 8.4 Beta to Developers With Revamped Music App

[commander.data]

Streamlined iTunes Radio. Discovering music with iTunes Radio is easier than ever. You can now quickly return to your favorite stations in Recently Played. Choose from a selection of hand-curated stations in Featured Stations, or start a new one from your favorite artist or song.


So iTunes Radio isn't dead after all.

If only iTunes Radio was available in more than 2 countries.

Don't care. I currently use Spotify, and unless Apple does a much better job, I don't see myself coming back to iTunes. They couldn't even bring iTunes Radio to Europe!!!

Same here. I've used Spotify for a long time now. I could be swayed to to Apple's new streaming service, if the price is right.

Does Match update play count correctly now without syncing to iTunes?

Apple Seeds First iOS 8.4 Beta to Developers With Revamped Music App

Edit: Someone uploaded a fake image claiming to be the music app and I fell for it. Carry on.

They'll never improve the performance of the iPad 3 i'm afraid...

Hmm, that actually looks nice.

Just get rid of the damned "album view" in landscape mode!

Yeah, they got rid of the damn landscape mode, from the release notes:
"Music app may unexpectedly quit when deleting a playlist or rotating the device to landscape orientation."

There are lots of known issues in this build so if you're not ready for a buggier phone, wait.
Slow downloading.

That's twice as fast as my internet normally...that's sad

 

[Bathplug]

Have they collapsed the artist albums view back to like ios6? Instead of all the albums being expanded in chronological order since ios7 for endless scrolling just to get to the song you want?

I'll stick to using picky from the appstore anyway.

Why not just use Control Center?

That's what Apple Watch is for

 

[Jason_G]

Anyone know if they'll finally include an option for cross fade?

Dude, this is Ecoute, not new Music app.

 

[ThatsMeRight]

now add a notification center widget while they r at it

If you swipe up from the bottom of the screen, you'll also get music controls. (Instead of swiping down from the top of the screen, like you're suggesting ).

 

[Mjmar]

What about ipad? Please bring back the album view that was in ios 6, Apple!

 

[cheesyappleuser]

Finally. iOS 6 music app was actually better than the current one in several ways, plus it was quite different from iTunes.
Good to see it's all proper again.

 

[bushido]

Why not just use Control Center?

not enough options, especially now that they added up next

Wow, two TabBar buttons? That's some interesting rethinking going on there. Nice.
