I had performed the whole space after artist name hack to force match to fix one of the remaining errors. Went back and removed the space and re-matched, and everything seems to be working fine in terms of sorting errors.
OTOH I still have a picture of a bald guy in a suit which I guess apple thinks is nancy sinatra.
Also, I now have to stare at the pointless radio and connect tabs at the bottom of the screen. Why am I auto "following" artists? I'm a 41 year old man. I want to listen to music, not virtually friendster people. Isn't this basically auto enrolling me in spam? Worthless pushed content? If I want to know if "band xyz" has a new record out, I'll type their name into a search engine. Why the hell are apple suggesting I "connect" with One Direction? Especially when they have an entire database of crap I have bought to use to determine things to suggest to me? It only makes me want to "connect" my foot with someone's behind.
These features need a lot of refinement to be worth someone's time, when dividing music up into categories, they need to realize that they are moving into a contested space in which they are ultimately messing with people's ways of defining themselves. I mean who the hell says "hello, my interests are in 'classic alternative' or 'pure pop'"? You might very well like music that apple believes exists within these categories, but you wouldn't refer to them in that way.
Solution - switched back to cesium on the iphone. Music.app is now hanging out in that junk drawer folder of stuff the bastards wont let you delete along with stocks.
I understand that apple wants to make the line between their software and their using their software to sell you sh*t blurry. Yes, people are motivated by money. I just think that in the long run if they continue to do so at the expense of their UX they are ultimately devaluing their own brand. If you have to do it, ok, but make it clean, have it make sense... don't shove extraneous sh*t in my face --- especially on a handheld with limited space.
