A bug in the Music App in iOS 6.1
I'm on an Iphone 5 running iOS 6.1. Is this happening only to me?
I'm looking for a song by Janis Ian on the Music App, and as you can see in the capture, there aren't any songs by her in the library (after Janet Jackson is Jarcha)... but if I search for her name, it appears!!... any clue? I'm also using iTunes Match.

Is ther a way to quickly delete whole albums in the music app in iOS 7?
I often download new music and need to remove old music to make space. I use Match, so I almost never sync with a computer these days, and even when I do I don't manage my music that way. The music app in iOS 7 seems to have no way to delete albums, just individual songs. This is very tedious when I want to remove one album and replace it with another album. Happily, I can still download a whole album with one tap. Has anyone found the secret to deleting albums?
it looks like they took out the "Show" option under Mail settings completely and added a Flag choice instead. Don't know why.

Really wish Apple hadn't broken the Music app in iOS 7
I've been a fan of Apple's handling of music since the original iPods. I have a lot of music, so I have always appreciated how easy it was to navigate my large collection. That is until I unwittingly upgraded my iPhone to iOS 7.
Somewhere the designers decided that it would be more elegant or pretty to have albums listed together under each Artist. It probably seemed pretty benign to a casual user of the app. It brings more of your music together which is going to make it easier. Right??? WRONG.
I'm sure that there are many people who are going to find the best thing about the previous organization on the iPod/iPhones has suddenly become the worst.
Just to give a little background, using Artists > Albums > Tracks on selected album is really the only way to deal with a large collection. The list of Albums is simply too large and an alphabetical list is pretty useless anyway. Really, the only way to quickly get to what I wanted was to scroll the list of Artists, pick and album from the list, and the pick the track i wanted to start with. FAST. EASY.
Now, in someone's infinite wisdom, I have lost something that I have used daily for well over 10 years. Now, when I select an artist from the list, I'm not presented with a nice list of albums. I get a huge list of songs. In many cases, there are hundreds of songs in this list. If I want to find a specific album, I either have to type its name (LAME) or just start scrolling down this huge list.
Additionally, this list is not sorted alphabetically. It appears to be chronological, however I'm guessing that problems with tagging could throw that off as well. I'm not completely opposed to the idea of chronological sorting, but MAKE IT A CONFIGURATION OPTION. I feel like Apple should not pull the rug from under a passionate user base that in many case has been using (and loving) their technology for up to 12 years. Don't make assumptions about what people want. And, if you think you have a great idea, at least leave configuration options to turn it back for those who don't like your changes.
I guess ultimately listening to music isn't that important in the scheme of things, but for the sake of argument, Apple has completely crippled the usage of the Music app for me. And, based on my observation, I can't see a good reason for it.
If anyone with any power to effect change in the product reads these ramblings, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE change it back. Or, at least provide an option so that I can change it back myself.
Thanks." I feel like Apple should not pull the rug from under a passionate user base that in many case has been using (and loving) their technology for up to 12 years. Don't make assumptions about what people want."

Hello!
I need some help with the music app in ios 7...
In ios 6, I could choose an artist from the "srtists" view and it would show me all his albums as a list. Now, in ios 7, when I choose an artist, it shows me every song underneath every album, making it impossible to see al the albums at once! Is there anyway to minimize this view so I could see only the albums' titles as a list?
It is VERY annoying. I would very much appreciate any help on this!
Thank youExactly!
This is all about the experience and accessibility. I don't even mind if the new desing is beautiful or not, but if I find myself, like you, avoiding looking for my music, my experience becomes frustrating. I have about 35 albums of a single artist and I used to love going over them and choose the right thing for me, especially being on the road a lot, and now I have to think twice about even entering his name.
I really hope Apple will take those kind of things into consideration when they issue updates for ios 7, and maybe also give us back the goole search which was embeded into the spotlight search (which is really not that big of a request).
And for your 4s - get the new iphone, it's MUCH better -
Have lyrics been made unavailable with the Music app?
I am unsure of when the change took place, but until recently, lyrics in iTunes (Macintosh) could be seen using an iOS device. But now the lyrics cannot be displayed, at least as far as I can see. It would be great if the lyrics could be displayed again.
Or are they still available, but I haven't figured out how to get at them?They are currently unavailable in the Music app in iOS 5 on the iPad - if it's something that you wantthen you could try leaving feedback and maybe in a future update it'll be re-instated : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

And when i first updated the IOS 6, it was still like that HELP!

After upgrading to IOS 7.0.2 I can't see the radio button in the music app on my iPad
The radio button does not show anymore in my music app on my iPad after I upgraded to IOS 7.0.2 - it did show briefly the first time I started the app after upgrading but immediately disappeared and is now gone for good. Don't have the issue with my iPhone at all. There it still shows - I tried to restore my iPad and again, opening the music app I was able to see the radio button for 5 seconds and than it disappeared. Any suggestion ?
Following ultimately helped me : Make sure that you are logged in at the App Store App or iTunes App with your apple ID and password with a US account. Turn your iPad off and on and than you should see the Radio button again. It won't work if you are logged on with a foreign account. If you are not logged in at all, it worked, too.

After loading IOS 7 i note that there is no longer a choice of how you want albums displayed in the MUSIC App!
I used to find it useful to display them all as a matrix and then choose by touching the relevant album cover!
This app now lists the albums as a list alphabetically which means I have to scroll thru the list to find the album I want.Can we have this facility back?
I called the support desk and he could not find this feature!Exactly!

Ios7 no call decline option when its locked battert drains fast music is not able to controlled through headset unless the music app is open please fix these bugs
if they are unable to update all languages in a normal time gap (it is now 6 months ago they released firmware 4.22 for the first product code (actually mine and maybe a few others)), they should not offer those many versions. the huge bug with out of memory in nokia navigator with firmware 3.58 is not fixed yet for those people. really absolutely not acceptable.
besides that, currently my phone is in a nokia service center, microphone doesnt work anymore (the one who i call just hears a very loud noise). my brother got the same phone, his one is in nokia service center since 2 weeks now, because it doesnt charge anymore as there seems to be a connection broken inside the phone).
well that will be fun if the phone returns (approximately 4 weeks), as I guess the phones will have new IMEIs as they will send 2 new phones and not fix the problem (would cost them more). but as i got a western europe with nordics-map licence locked to the imei, the next problem will be there after I get a nokia 6110navi with another IMEI back. i get really upset with this really slow support. -
My music lyrics won't appear on the lock screen in iOS 5.1.1. The lyrics appear in the music app
PLz help my lyrics used to appear but now they don't appear I have put the lyrics in the songs but thu only appear the music app help
Sorry, I meant swiping, not tapping.
It took me three reboots and one restore from the previous backup, only after that it started working as expected.
I also noticed that a lot of ram kept being marked as used although not a single app was running in the background.
Anyway - why did it need to be a swipe instead of a tap? One can only access it after a home button press - safe enough to not accidentally activate it.
I miss the possibility like in iOS 3 to assign the home button double-click to the camera start. THAT was really handy. -
Hi Guys, Apple's MUSIC app on my iPad 2 iOS 5 starts up playing music on its own frequently, I have to stop it evy time. Any idea how I can kill the b....d?? Thank you!
Make sure that you have quit the app when you finish using it. To do so press the Home button once to return to the Home screen. Then press the Home button twice to reveal the open apps under the Dock. Tap and hold the Music app until it begins to jiggle and a appears in the upper left corner of the icon. Tap the to quit the app. Tap the screen or press the Home button to return the Dock to it original position.

Why won't the music app work after the IOS 7.1 update?
Every time i try to listen to my music in the Apple Music app it opens then freezes. Sometimes it will let me open an artist but wont play the songs. I tried going into the settings to see if i could change anything but it wont let me open the music settings tab, the button just turns gray and freezes my phone. I've tried force quitting the app and re starting my phone and nothing has worked.
Hello mbongi1,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with the Music app on your iPhone. You have taken some really good troubleshooting steps already to isolate and troubleshoot the issue. I have a couple of additional suggestions you can try.
First, I recommend resetting your iPhone:
Reset
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
If the issue persists after resetting your iPhone, I recommed backing up and restoring your iPhone:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
