The New Music App

So I can't view only Downloaded Music in either Album or Playlist view? If I go into the "Downloaded Music" section I am greeted by recently added and then everything in a massive square list thing? This sucks.
[doublepost=1473789858][/doublepost]So playlist images don't work?
[doublepost=1473790451][/doublepost]This app is horrid. Why do I have to tap "Dowloaded Music" and then get to my stuff.
[doublepost=1473792952][/doublepost]Is there any way to get list view back?

I love spotify and use it everyday,(UI is so much better)
I find it hard to believe that this is the best UI they can come up with. (Apple)

Wow. I had seen pictures of the app before but using it is a whole other thing. It is UGLY! The fonts are too big and bold and the whole thing looks very plain. I liked how clicking on albums before picked up colors from the artwork to display the track listing. Now it's all black and white. All of my playlists look the same with the stupid gear icon instead of the custom artwork and some of them are showing up blank now even though the music is on my phone. I don't know what they were thinking with this.
does anyone understand this?
what do i actually have on my ****ing phone?
how can i have 176 songs but then it say i have 2000+?? and on my phone, general>about it says i have 1490 songs?

I can't believe i missed this. OMG
That was actually pretty neat.
Really regret updating. Can i go back?
Send specific feedback to apple.com/feedback and hope they change it. Unless you're willing to go back to iOS 9 and stay there.
They aren't going to. Design decisions like that are pretty much set in stone till a major update happens. Personally I love the new music app and happy to FINALLY have split screen on iPad. Theres much more clarity and focus to the suggestions.
wow. can't save an artists library to offline like you could in iOS 9. you now have to do each album one by one
The new music app is without a doubt the worst thing Apple have ever done. I hate it. I have over 10 years of downloaded music thats all been lumped together and pushed back into a single "library" tab in favour of connect, radio, music and search... none of which I use. I want my playlists in the forefront as I use those the most. I hate this update.
this is seriously annoying. i use icloud music library and now due to the fact you cannot save an artist to offline this is literally going to take hours and hours to add what i want
Also the first thing I hate about iOS 10 is this music app. Wtf is this the design looks low res and the type is huge like it's meant for old people or something. Wtf
No song ratings, wtf. It's bad enough they never allowed half-star ratings without a hack, but now they're gone altogether. You would think star ratings would greatly improve Apple Music recommendations. I also don't like the inability to completely hide iCloud music. I understand there's a download-only section, but I prefer to just never see iCloud music.
you can, and i know its not massive, but i have over 10,000 songs on my iTunes, some artists have over 10 albums, so downloading each and every album 1 by 1 is very long winded, where as on iOS 9 i could just do the whole artist, which i cannot do anymore.
If you have iTunes, make a smart playlist. Set the parameters to Media Kind IS Music. Name it. Then open up your iOS device. Go to playlists. Pick your new one. Tap the download button. You can do the same with Artists. Make the parameters Artist is "blah blah".
That said, this is definitely a shortcoming of the new app I hope is fixed quickly.
sharing my opinion.
iOS 6's music app was the last easily-to-use, coherent design. It maintained the simplicity and basic underlying functions of past music apps. It allows for complete and clear control.
Apple's current take on the Music app is a confusing, garbled mess that works against intuition and ease of use. If they took the underlying framework of iOS 6's music app design, throw on a fresh layer of topcoat to make it look modern, and condense Apple Music down to a single tab, they'd be getting somewhere.
Again, IMO.

To be honest, I miss the original iPod App from the first few versions of iOS. All my media in one place, easy to toggle between artists, albums, etc., fewer glitches. I know people demand more and more features, and with more features comes more complexity, but hey, that's what these guys get paid huge dollars for.
I am having a few issues I thought I would throw out there in case anyone else is having the same issues, or might have any ideas. About half of my artists are missing artwork.

My second issue is, even though my music shows lyrics in the iTunes app on my computer, no lyrics show up in the iOS Music app.
My third issue is more of a preference. Is there a way to turn off "You Might Also Like" suggestions that show up when I go to an Artist?

And now 3 out of 4 tabs are useless to me. I don't have anything else to say.

Exactly my thought. I hate this new music app even more than the previous one.
