Configure icons in iOS5 Music app?

OK, this has me feeling stupid: on the iPhone, when you open the iPod app, you see icons at the bottom for various views (Playlists, Artists, etc.). When you click 'More', you have an option to edit, and you can rearrange which views are displayed, and in what order. I put Podcasts first, since that's my most frequent view—and, in fact, the only "music" on my iPad is Podcasts.
For the life of me, I can't find any equivalent configuration in the iOS5 Music app on the iPad. Is this just an oversight? Am I stuck always clicking "More" to see my Podcasts, even if I have no playlists or artists/tracks other than podcasts?

You are not alone. I feel the same way. I also only listen to Podcasts on my iPad. I have no music synced. I hope that they add the ability to edit the icons (like you can on the iPhone - even with iOS 5) to the iPad. I hope this is a simple oversight and not a design decision. If this is intentional it is a very bad idea.

Configure icons in ios6 music app

When I configure my music app (on iPhone 5) icons they always revert back to the default settings. I have had each iPhone and have gone through each iOS. This is the only one that the icons don't stay put once I configure them. Any ideas out there? I've reset my phone etc.

Why can't I see the airplay icon in the music app or control centre on my Iphone 4 running ios7? I can see it in the movie app

Why can't I see the airplay icon in the music app or control centre on my Iphone 4 running ios7? I can see it in the movie app

I've seen something yesterday that says Airplay in control centre is only for Iphone 4S and onwards. It's frustrating when they take something away without any obvious reason. I'm going to change back to IOS6 until it's sorted out.
I also tried connecting to bluetooth and only once I'm connected does an icon show up in control centre. There's no direct way to connect to a device from control centre on the Iphone 4 from the looks of it.

Using Voice Over in the ios5 music app, when tapped into an album there is no way to back out of it except by switching off voice over! Help.

Using Voice Over in the ios5 music app, when tapped into an album there is no way to back out of it except by switching off voice over! Help. This is preventing me upgrading the iPad2 to iOS5 for a blind man I work with. Am I missing something or is it a bug?

How is it possible that i can play music marked with the cloud icon in the music app when i'm not subscribing to itunes match?

When I'm on the same WiFi network as the computer I sync my iPhone to, I can se a lot of songs in my music app marked with the little cloud icon. And when I leave the network, I can see only the songs with this icon that I have played and therefore probably cached.
Where can I read more about this function and get to know it better?
It seems to work like iTunes Match, only limited to 'local' use. I'm not an iTunes Match subscriber, but I have the 'Show all music' setting enabled.
It's a cool function, both it's a bit annoying that i uses up my available storagecapacity. I keep getting warnings that my storage is almost full.
Does the cached music automatically dissapear since i haven't added it while syncing?

This feature is called...
iTunes in the Cloud
It uses no storage on your phone or any in your iCloud storage allocation.

Audiobooks in ios5 Music App

Ok, so everyone has already complained that the new Music app in ios 5 is a shockingly poor replacement for the old iPod app, but my issue goes a little deeper.
When I try to play a non-audible audiobook in the Music app, it only plays the track I selected, it does not move on to the next track. Quite annoying if you have 3000 tracks of 2mins long per audiobook....
If I install the iPhone Audible app (come on Audible, when are you gonna support iPad users properly), it can access my non-audible audiobooks, but it screws up the chapters...
I am literally pulling my hair out at this point. The iPod app was solid, why change it for something which has significantly reduced functionality. Fair enough if Apple and Audible have made a deal for all audiobooks to be played through their app, but their app isn't perfect and hasn't been built around the iPad platform.
The Music app on ios5 is a major step backwards... Please fix it ASAP

Hi Covuniracer,
When you play a non-audible audio book in the music app, is the book defined as an audiobook or just as music? Are the book files MP3's from CD or M4A's from CD or WMA or protected WMA? I'm asking because I have similar issues and I'm finding that the format of the original file seems to determine the eventual failure.
I have 3rd gen ipod touch 32Gb just upgraded to IOS5. Error symptoms are:
1) WMA/DRM transferred audio books:
a) Don't show up anwhere except in a play list. They show up in iTunes, but not anwhere on the ipod -- not as a book, not as music.
b) Track title are now 3-6 digit numbers. Album, Author, TRACK numbers, all missing.
Changing the setting (Devices, Summary Tab, reduce to 128kbps) has no effect.
Restoring and loading the iPOD as a new device had no effect.
Updating the apps on the IPOD has no effect.
2) MP3 transferred from library audio books:
a) Show up as music and will play if I leave them there, but if I tell iTunes they are audio books, they show up in audio books on the iPOD but will not play. They play fine on iTunes and on my shuffle. Putting these into playlists has no effect on their behavior.
b) I can get the Music app to recognize and play an MP3 audiobook as an audiobook for a short while by doing the following:
First, get it playing as a music file. Pause it. Start ITUNES, plug in the IPOD and redfine the book as an audiobook. Then sync, exit, unplug the pod. The book will still play from where we left it. Back track to the ALBUMS page-- its blank now, nothing shows up. Go to Audio book. It now shows up as an audio book and will play. Now if I go back to Albums, the expected stuff shows up on it.
This only works for a little while. As soon as I switch to the 2nd track, none of the MP3 audiobooks "fixed" in this way will play anymore.
Changing the setting (Devices, Summary Tab, reduce to 128kbps) has no effect.
Restoring and loading the iPOD as a new device had no effect.Updating the apps on the IPOD has no effect.
3) MP3 audio book ripped from CD seems to work fine. (SK Gunslinger)
4) M4a (ripped by earlier version of ITUNES) audio track seems to work fine.
Level 5 dance music shows up in Music, 64kbps AAC audio audio file. All the "fields" are good
Also: I move books to the pod by drag and drop only, I do no auto syncing.

Cover flow Causing iOS5 Music App Crash

Since I've updated to iOS5 on my iPhone4 cover flow in the music app jitters and if I swipe too quickly it becomes increasingly laggy and not smooth at all then it ends up crashing the music app. Any ideas?

Same problem here. I don't use cover flow but just play one song. Goes fine with downloaded songs but with imported cd's (and their covers) it crashes. I've now downloaded the artwork for those albums and now it works fine. Apples way of saying you should download from iTunes instead of buying cd's I guess...

Playlist icons blink in Music app on my iPad, is this happening to anyone?

Sometimes when I open the music app on my iPad the playlist icons blink, is this happening to you and what can be done

I did try a safe boot once before, which didn't stop the occurrences. I can try it again to make sure, and see if the problem stops happening.
Never installed extra audio or plug-ins, though.
It happened just once not long after I bought the mid-2013 MBA, which I think came with 10.8.4, but I assumed the noise was because I was moving the computer around on a surface that created static, since the noise stopped after I picked it up off the surface. However, that must have just been a coincidence, because it happens more frequently now without moving or touching anything.
Trying the safe-mode boot and restart, and testing it out for day or so to see if it happens again.

Problems with changes in iOS5 Music app on iPad

With iOS 5, massive changes have been made to the Music app that makes it virtually unusable for listening to podcasts. Weirdly, these changes were not made on the iPhone version, which still works fine.
My problems are these:
1.     Music App no longer shows which episodes of a podcast have been fully played, partially played, or not played.
2.     The 30-second re-play button is gone.
3.     The 1X - 2X - ½X playback speed button is gone.
These items aren't very important for playing music, but they're pretty critical for listening to podcasts. As I said, these features are still on the iPhone version of iOS5. It's like somebody decided that no one listens to podcasts on the iPad so they took them out. If that's true, then it's just me that's screwed.
Am I missing something? Is there a way to bring these features back? I've tried Apple Care and they didn't have a clue. And before someone suggests it, yes, I have submitted a comment to the feedback web page at Apple.
Thanks,
Rolando

I am with you.   4 out of 5 people in the office not longer are able to open email attachments(PDFs, jpgs, Office Docs) after upgrading to iOS 5 on iPhones or iPads. It seems to be from only from emails not from a Mac, iPhone or iPad. If you forward the message to youself from an Apple product, you will be able to open the attachment.
If called Apple support and they were not able to help after an 50 Mins. I'm going to re-install iOS to see if if works.

Help required with Audiobooks on iOS5 Music app

I have just upgraded my iPad to the latest OS which changed the ipod app to the new Music app. Unfortunately there are a couple of issues in the Audiobooks feature.
1) when you listen to an audiobook, it no longer moves automatically from one file to the next (like a playlist). It gets to the end of the file and stops. This particularly annoying when it is a book that is split into 2 minute files. I have looked for an option in case it is a configurable feature but can not find it.
2) for some of my audiobooks it has listed the files in a random order so the story does not flow in the right order. I do not understand what is causing this.
I have search the apple website and there does not seem to be a way to raise a bug report. Any thoughts on whether this is a configuration problem on my iPad or whether it is the new software.

IOS5 Music App crashing when going to podcasts

My music app keeps crashing whenever I select the "podcast" tab in the music app.
Here have been the steps I've taken so far:
1. Connect to iTunes, remove podcasts from phone
2. Upon doing this, the music app crashes instantly upon opening
3. If I select "reset all settings" on the phone, the music app will start back up - but continue to crash when navigating to podcast tab
Notes
+ If I select my computer library (home sharing) within the music app, the podcasts show up and play fine (pulling from my computer)
+ The "Muisc +" app accesses all my music and plays fine (but I can't get to podcasts from within that app)
+ I can use voice commands to play a music - and skip forward/back from the lock screen
Hardware:
iPhone 4, ATT, 32GB
iOS 5.0.1
Any help/suggestions?

I'm still having this issue - wanted to add some additional details:
+if i search on my iPhone (swipe all the way to the left home screen), several podcasts show up; even after syncing and telling iTunes to sync 1 most recent podcast or none at all
+I can play these podcasts from the "search" menu, but when I hit back, it brings me to the default music app tab, and if i tab to the podcast tab (even with the podcast playing), the app will crash
+in iTunes, when I set my podcasts to only keep the most recent one, then sync my phone - it will pull these random podcasts back into iTunes
+The date on these podcasts is 12/31/00 (even though they are from 2011)
It seems like the "12/31/00" labeled podcasts are impossible to delete and causing my music app to crash.
