Hi Guys,
Wondering if anybody has run into these issues or has solutions/workarounds/ideas until Apple addresses them...
1) Is there anyway to go directly to album from song currently being played, like Spotify? I use this feature quite frequently to hop from song being played, to artist, to album or vice versa. It seems the only option Apple Music gives me is to hop straight to the iTunes store to buy it, which is not what I want to do.
2) Outside of the little cell phone icon in the upper right hand corner, is there any other EXPLICIT indicator regarding downloaded to device vs. streaming? I've also found that just because a playlist has the cell phone icon doesn't indicate the entire playlist has been downloaded to the device, but rather it is marked for store offline, with downloads still in progress
3) Is there any option/setting to only download songs via wifi? Again, these seems like such a massive oversight when every other content driven app (Spotify, google photos, carousel, amazon photos, evernote, etc) all have a only sync on wifi option. This concern combined with my second question make it maddening to determine what is available and what is not saved yet, in addition to having to limit my playlist adjustments to only be set offline while at home (wifi).
4) Is there anyway to create a playlist while you are adding a song at the same time? This option is available on iTunes on Mac. I can find a song, tap the three dots, and say add to playlist, then "make new playlist". This used to be a HIGHLIGHT feature of iPods from ten years ago. The idea of on the go playlists...I have very fond memories of the iPod shuffle and the click wheel iPod, and the beauty of just making playlists on the fly. With Apple Music, my experience on the iPhone so far has indicated that I need to make a playlist and title it with NO songs before I can go back, find the song, click add to playlist and then add it to the list of options available. Again, this is kind of driving me nuts.
5) Random weird bug. I have a mazda CX-5, which does not have native iPhone support, but does support audio over bluetooth. I use it for spotify, pandora, amazon music, google music, and overcast. I have never had an issue with any of those apps. With Apple music, when I play a playlist, it will steam the music over the speakers but turn shuffle off. I have shuffle on the majority of my listening 99.99999% of the time, so this is not only frustrating, but also just strange. When i disconnect, the iPhone will resume shuffle mode again, but connected to bluetooth, it will play songs in order. Weird, huh? Anybody else experience this?
Thanks for listening and hopefully some of these questions/complaints are things I have overlooked myself! I want to like Apple Music so much, but some of these things are basic features which can hopefully be addressed in a future update.
