I miss when I could have "Playlists, Artists, Albums, Genres" in the bottom tab bar.
That's the reason I stopped using Apple Music.

It sucks. Can't even touch Spotify. No web app. Clumsy interface. Not enough support on devices like other music applications. Ruined my personal music collection and playlist. iTunes match is even worse. Ruined many of my songs with clean versions. I hate Apple Music now. Miss the old version of the app with simple taps on the bottom for my personal music.
That's what I thought. I hope they don't start truncating the titles.
i use ecoute. paid 99c for it.
it's not great, has some small issues, but if you only listen to music searching through your library, then it may work well for you (and i like dark GUIs).
when i once tried going back to apple's music i was instantly annoyed by its messiness.
I've switched to TapTunes, it is working pretty well so far. No more Apple Music.

This old dude agrees. How different Apple is these days.

It's not confusing, it's badly designed.
So first I have to go to Library, then Downloaded Music, and then Artists, just to see the music on my phone (which is the only music I listen to) by artist. Right now, all I have to do is open up the music app. You're going in the wrong direction Apple. It's becoming more complicated to do a very simple task that is done automatically now. The only thing that would make up for it in my mind, would be to have multiple albums by an artist arranged in chronological order, rather than reverse chronological order like it is now.
Yes, their news app seems to think I like trying to discern the subject of an article by looking at a picture, vice reading a headline. But Apple has stuck a fork in RSS for Safari as well.
Amen!! I am constantly having to explain to my wife and my elderly parents how to get to their music. The app is way to complicated if all you want to do is listen to your own local content.

The current version is practically unusable in the car. Put that big 6s Plus in a dashboard phone mount, and your favorite navigation app will gladly oblige with a nice landscape-mode interface. Not so for Apple music. Everything is tiny and portrait-mode only. So, if you're on a road trip, or just trying to get around traffic during your local commute, and you're using your navigation app(s), you can't really use Apple Music unless you're willing to keep pulling it out of the mount to navigate Apple Music's portrait-mode-only interface.
It's bloody awful; what are they thinking? Spotify must be laughing their heads off at this.
Why are they focusing so much on the design -- what about all of the bugs they need to wipe out, and adding missing features which have been present in other streaming apps for years? It's a joke.

I don't use Apple Music - what does the music player look like for those like me?
If they've gotten rid of edge to edge album art, then **** this whole update.

I think that's implicit recognition that people use tha app while driving. I have no problem with it.
Other than getting rid of Connect, which is great, all the other improvements are basically figuring out how to fit the Zune/Windows Phone 7 interface into an iPhone.
Physical music? Do you mean physical media? Do you realize that the media used to distribute data has no bearing on the quality of the sound. That's a function of the file format.
I know what I own, and I just want to be able to use it without having a service shoved down my throat or getting in the way of my music.
This loos better ..... so easy to use must indicate "make things bigger, and bold"
Lyrics is good as well, but if it's anything like Shazam and is not always required, and i have a feeling they would be "optional" then prepare for issues. You can also look them up anyway, but what's the point of that. We just like jamming along.

Seriously......connect would be made perfectly viable if they simply added a notification when an artist I follow has a new album or single out, etc. Why is this so difficult? Instead they half-ass it as usual then try to bury it deep before it then suffocates to death. Just like Ping.
Anyone can make that app. The Music API is open and any app can take advantage of it and steam music using it.
But they don't just update iOS once per year. They update it many times per year.
You bring a good point about it being on Android. It wouldn't be out of logic to be its own app, but think of the competitive advantage Apple Music has over competitors (eg Spotify, Tidal) by coming with the OS on your iPhone/iPad. Now why would Apple voluntarily do away with their biggest competitive advantage? Think man!
I second this question. If the user doesn't have a subscription, what does the app look like?
