Apple Music app landscape mode USELESS!!!

Ok, I need to bash Apple, not because I hate them...I love them an they get more of my paycheck than anyone, but update after update, Apple does nothing with the utterly useless landscape mode of a the music app!
To see all my album covers is cool, and maybe I just have too much music, but it would probably take more than 30 minutes to scroll to look for something.  I can't imagine anyone can find this useful...or maybe I'm alone in my misery?  Esp on my iPhone 6 plus there could be so many better ways to utilize this. 
Just had to vent my unhappiness with the current way it is...hopefully one day Apple will make it better.

Do you honestly think posting gripes about this will accomplish anything?  If your intention is to somehow utilize this forum to force Apple's hand to improve the Music app, you're either naive or delusional.  This is a technical support forum, not a place to air your gripes.  This is not a technical problem that can be resolved here, so your contribution on this issue has no place here.  There are countless other forums or blogs where you can spout off about how silly the Music app is, but doing so here is against the terms of use that you agreed to.
Now before you accuse me of being an Apple shill, I'll certainly admit that I too find the horizontal view of the Music app to be zero use to me.  I really can't see how it could be beneficial to anyone with more than 100 albums on their device.  The former carousel Apple called "Coverflow" was far more useful, where at least it would display albums in the vicinity to what you're currently listening to, and had a neat (but gimmicky) feature where the covers would shuffle like a jukebox when the album changed
There are plenty of things that Apple does that I disagree with, but the difference is that I'll use the resource that Apple provides its consumers to provide feedback.  They may not take my comments into account, or maybe they will, but I'm not going to foolish to think that complaining on their technical support forum will have any impact, other than to make me look silly.

  • Apple music app starts automatically in car since ios 8 update on iPhone 5

    Since updating to iOS 8 on an iPhone 5 (thru iTunes on laptop), apple music app starts on its' own in the car using bluetooth.
    It would start playing music after I started the igniton-though I never use that app or leave music of any sort running in my car when I turn car off.
    Other times, it starts music if I use Google Maps or apples' iMessage . Quite annoying.

    II'm sorry, I thought I'd updated to 8.02 but I checked and I only have 8.0.  I'm afraid to update to 8.02 as I've been reading both good and bad about it, like it may fix my app problem but screw up my Wi-fi.   I don't know what to do.   I'm between a rock and a hard place.  

  • Why will the Apple music app on my iPad not play certain songs???

    Hi,
    Suddenly I noticed that certain songs, that will play without problem within iTunes on my PC, and with no problem on my iPhone 4S, will NOT play at all on my iPad (MB293KS) running iOS 5.1.1...
    I have reset the iPad and then downloaded everything again, but the problem is till there. The songs that will not play are AAC-files and sampled in 44,100 kHz, 256 kbit.
    If I use a third party player on the same iPad, like Bongiovi DPS, the songs play all right!!! So it seems that something is really wrong with the Apple Music App on this particular iPad??? What can I do about this? Are there any other music player I should concider as replacements for the Apple Music App? (Besides the Bongioivi, that is...).
    Thanks!

    I have now updated to the new iOS 6.1, but still this problem persists! How is it even possible to be able to play the songs in iTunes, on my PC, and on the specified iPad, using for example the Bongioivi app, but NOT when I use Apple's built in Music app?
    So before the 5.1 upgrade, the songs were playing all right. But AFTER this upgrade, and still after the 6.1, they won't play???

  • IOS 7.1 and APPLE Music APP

    After the ios 7.1 update, when going into my Apple Music App and playing songs, when selecting a song the system does not play the song selected....it plays a song that is 3 or four titles ABOVE the selected song.  The location seems to change but what is constant is that when selecting a song the system DOES NOT play tha song that I select.  Anyone assistance and/or anyone else experiencing this issue?  Thank you!

  • IPhone 6 plus problem in app Landscape mode

    Hello,
    i got the iphone 6 plus yesterday, I switched from an android phone, and there are some things that I am finding quite annoying. First, some of the apps do not support landscape mode and force portrait mode. I have an iPad and this is not an issue with these apps there. screen rotation is not locked and standard view is enabled. When entering text on landscape mode, screen responsiveness is poor for text entry. When I want to share something, the options are limited to Facebook, YouTube, email and a couple more, on android I couls share directly to many more things including whatsapp. I don't know how much of this is just normal iOS

    Hi Sunnifromlondon,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your iPhone screen is not rotating as expected, there could be several potential causes. First, we can attempt some troubleshooting steps that may resolve the issue.
    I recommend going through all of the steps in this support site article:

  • In apple music app the music sound lower then in all the other apps. What can I do to change that?

    Two weeks ago they where still the same volume, no volume limit activated.
    Thanks

    The only other things that I can think of to the are to reboot the iPad or quit the music app completely and restart the iPad.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    To quit the music app completely - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

    2. Tap on iTunes & App Store
    3. Tap your Apple ID
    4. Tap View Apple ID
    5. Sign into the store
    6. Tap done
    7. Launch iTunes Radio and try again!
    I hope the above resolves it for you.

  • Apple Music App not playing audio iOS 5

    I updgraded my iPhone to iOS 5.0.1 and now my Music App isn't playing any of my songs. I can open the App and navigate fine, but when I press play it doesn't. I tried force quitting the app and even restarted the iPhone, but that still did not fix the issue.
    Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?

    My music is now playing agian, but the issue still exists let me explain.
    I upgraded from an iPhone 4 to iPhone 4S.
    I then restored my iPhone 4S with an iPhone 4 backup.I did this to get all my previous data etc..
    The music from that backup did not "play"
    I then synced new music to my iPhone 4S after reading "Radar103" comment.
    Even though I synced new music it did not remove previous songs already on my iPhone.
    All new songs play just fine except for music from original backup.
    Here's the kicker. When I view my iPhone 4S music using iTunes I DO NOT see the songs from original backup. This is weird because when I navigate on my iPhone I can still select them.
    I really don't want to restore my iPhone to start from scratch. Any suggestions?
    My next step will be to call AppleCare.

  • Disable  Lock Screen in Apple Music App

    I play my iPhone on a speaker dock and Pandora and Audible Apps have an option to disable the Lock Screen while they play. Since it is on the speakers it is charging anyway so a logical choice.
    This is so nice as it remains lit and album cover shows what is playing, time left, etc. When I play iTune I go through a backdoor fix and go to settings, set lockscreen to... (well you get it)
    I find it interesting the 3rd pary Apps have this nice feature but iTunes itself doesn't.

  • RIP Music App 9/17/2014

    iOS8 officially made the music app terrible to use. Apple has always prided itself on Album Art and ease of use when it comes to music. IOS8 proves that Apple no longer cares about music on iOS.
    No more album art for Playlists
    No Album art in Control Center music pane
    No change to useless Music App landscape UI
    No change to Artist/Albums/Songs, still shows all songs at once
    No change to iPad Music App Artists/Albums view, still shrunken IPhone UI
    No 'Up Next' feature

  • IPad music app: album count incorrect/too large in artist view

    Hello,
    My problem isn't critical, but it is really annoying. My third generation iPad is showing incorrect album counts for artists under artist view in the Apple music app.
    For example, I have just one Coldplay album (Viva La Vida) uploaded to my iPad, but the music app reads the following under the album/artwork in artist view: "10 songs, 15 albums".
    I have turned the iPad on and off. I have done a hard reset (by holding home and power button down until iPad shuts off and then tirns on again). I have restored the iPad from a back up through iTunes. I have restored it to factory settings through iTunes and set it up as a new iPad. I have erased the iPad using the iPad "settings/general/reset/erase all contents and settings" option. I have synced the iPad with iTunes and utilized the music tab to replace the music on the iPad. I have uploaded the albums through the iTunes store. I have synced them from my computer.
    NONE of these options have worked. They all result in incorrect album counts.
    This seems to be a problem which surfaced after I upgraded to iOS6, but I am not sure if that is what caused the issue.
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Cubulous

    This is some sort of issue with iOS6. There are several threads (and theories) as to why this is happening. But the bottom line is, Apple needs to correct the problem.
    One person indicated that the actual number of albums (by a particular artist) in his iTunes Library was the number of albums indicated on the iPad, regardless of the number of albums he chose to sync. In other words, if I have 10 albums by artist "ABC" in my iTunes Library, but chose to sync only 5 of them, the iPad would still indicate 10 albums by "ABC" (because it's looking to the iTunes Library for the album count instead of the number of actual albums that were synched to the iPad). While that theory makes sense, I found it to be somewhat untrue, at least in my case.
    What I discovered is, if you rename or make a change to any of the metadata associated with a track from a particular album, then that album is duplicated when you sync, displaying the original album tracks (sans the one or two you changed) under the album name and a second version is created (using the exact same album name) but displaying only the track or tracks you modified. This in turn, increases your album count by one. So instead of showing the entry as just one album, the count now reads two for the same title. To make things even more confusing, if you go back and modify both versions of the album, successully combining the two back into one, so to speak (this can be done by renaming the artist to some other name, synching, then renaming it back to the correct artist), the album will then display correctly (just one "vesrion" showing on the iPad), but the album count remains unchanged (still indicating two). Basically, the count isn't reset, but remains incorrect.
    Hopefully, I didn't confuse everyone. But it's difficult to explain. From everything I've read, it appears to be a combination of things; Album count and display, as well as creating additional album "instances" if any tracks are modified.
    In any event, I hope they fix it soon. Because if you have a large music library like mine, it takes no time to really screw things up!
