Have anyone notice this bug since iOS 8.4 beta 2? In beta 1, there was an option in here where you might choose to sort your album by album artist or artist, which was the field in iTunes respectively. From beta 2, this option was broken, I think. I thought this would repair in iOS 8.4 beta 3, but it didn't.

Plus, have anyone tried adding the same song twice or more in "Up Next"? I tried doing so but when I listened to the music, Music app would only play that song once, not multiple times I wanted.

Anyone else having issues with spotlight not utilizing the full screen. On my 6 Plus, it's only using the center portion versus the entire width when searching.

Mine is ok. Have you tried restarting your phone?

I don't have 8.4 on an iPad but I don't see why it wouldn't also be on the iPad. It's also four or more albums to get the album view first before songs. Not three :p

Right. The reason I ask is because, even pre-iOS 7, the way albums were structured on iPad were Artist/Songs. So if the recent changes in beta 3 also apply to iPad, that would be different.
 
Have this been fixed in 8.4 whereas randomly disappears frequently visited websites on Safari and after typing any text via Safari url bar gives no result. After ~15 seconds, frequently visited websites appears and typing at url bar gives results...

I didn't see this. Maybe older devices are easier to see what you have mentioned. I am using iPhone 6 Plus. :)
 
Mostly it happens after iPhone restart :) Appeared from 8.2 :/

Possibly this is an issue isolated at several machines. I played several iPhone docked in an Apple retail store, and none of them had this issue.

There is no workaround for this?

Not really, just need to wait ten or more seconds and frequently visited websites reappears.

Like you are using a slow safari? Mine can almost instantly fire up the frequent visited site with no issue. Maybe restarting...uh, you say this issue will reoccur after restarting. Have you tried waiting for a couple of minutes before staring using safari?

Yes, waiting helps to avoid that issue. Thought that more people having this sort of issue :) thanks for help ;)

I have been unable to download podcasts since the latest beta.

I have tried using both wifi and cellular. I have tried rebooting the phone. I power cycle every night. I have 89GB free, so it shouldn't be a memory issue.

Podcasts download fine on my rMBP, but not on my 6+.

Podcasts:
Cardwell on Air
Above & Beyond: Group Therapy
Club life by Tiesto

Download error. Tap to retry.
 
^On the main playlist page, right under the separation between Recently Added and the list of playlists, there should be an option for "New" to the right side, "Edit" on the left.

Speaking of the playlist page, is there still no way to rearrange the sort order of playlists? Not the songs in a playlist but the actual playlists themselves. Right now everything is folders first, then smart playlists, then normal playlists, with everything alphabetical. I just want a way to drag and reorder - for instance, if I have a normal playlist that I want to show first, above my smart playlists and folders. Hopefully they add this soon. It's always seemed like an obvious omission to me. Spotify allows it, Rdio allows it, I think Google allows it.
 
How do you create a playlist in the Music app? I can't seem to find it.

I think that the "new" and "edit" options only exist if you already have a playlist on the phone. I don't have any, and this is all I see.

Ahhh, yep, looks like it. Huh. I guess we should leave some feedback about this!

-"New Playlist" option needed when there aren't any, and also

-"Add to playlist" option under the menu for each song/album/etc.

Hm. That's a bit bizarre. Hopefully that's added in the next beta or before the final build.
 
Anybody else have this issue? I'm not entirely sure if it would be because of the beta or of this is just an iTunes Match bug. I'm getting multiple entries for a single artist. I know everything is tagged correctly, because the artist has only one entry as expected on my other devices that use the same Match account but are not on the beta.

There were a few other artists that were split like this as well, but I've been able to fix all but this one by changing the metadata and then changing it back. For the life of me though no matter how much I fiddle with it I can't get Angels & Airwaves to show correctly.

Anybody else have split artists on devices with the beta?

I have the same problem, split artist (miwa) with one song of the album listed under separate artist with the same name (again, miwa).

Well, good to know it's not some freak isolated issue then I guess. So hopefully this will be fixed in the next beta. Be sure to leave some feedback! (Also may be worth noting that it appears in both cases the first entry uses the "correct" artist profile photo, and others use album art.)

Should this bug be added to the first post?

-Songs by same artist split into two artist entries
 
Is this another bug?

Anyone see this? If an artist has multiple albums, music app will not display any of the artist album but an empty one, however I have added all albums for this artist. Tricky, don't affect ahything though.

This forum only allows one photo to be attached and uploaded?
