Ios7 sort by artist in music app landscape view help or bug

I have installed IOS7 on my iphone 5 and noticed that when you look at your music in landscape view (used to be coverflow) the music is not sorted by artist ? it was in ios6 coverflow.
I have the option selected in the music options and the msuic is sorted by artist but in portrait mode in music app its sorted by artsist but not in landscape (wall view) in the music app.
anyone noticed this i have all my artist albums all over the place in landscape view in the music app
thanks

Mine is not working either. It just shows the album covers in a random order.  You might want to provide feedback to Apple here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

  • 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.

  • Can not open Music App. Please Help me.

    Hi.
    First of all, this is my device's spec.
    iPhone 4 / iOS5
    Today, music app was broken.
    I was just trying to download some music files on Potcast while playing music using music app.
    Suddenly music was turned off, and music app's not opened anymore.
    Just this screen shows up for 1~2 secs when I tap music app.
    I tried close and re-open the app, but not worked.
    Rebooting my iPhone is not working too.
    What should i do?
    Please, help me. It's very urgent. T.T

    Or sometimes, just simply quitting the app from the "Dock" will solve it.
    Double click the Home button, Hold the Music app until it wobbles then press the X in the corner.
    Tap your home screen again and open it up again

  • Trying to understand the Music app... Genre question

    K... There are so many problems I have with the Music app, but this question is the focus on one.. I understand that I cannot play an entire Genre of music in iOS7 (without creating a Smart Playlist for each Genre from within iTunes), and I've come to terms with that....but I just realized I can't even see the specific songs that genre has.
    I dunno how to explain it, but I'll try...
    I have all of Adam Lambert's albums in iTunes and I have right clicked songs and set them to specific genres, some are pop, some are rock, and I have one lone Adam Lambert song in my "Dance" genre. On my iPhone, with iOS7, I go to the Music app...tap Genres...tap Dance...and it shows Adam Lambert...so I tap on it and it shows me ALL 70 songs, NOT the one single song I have listed in the Dance genre. Now, if I go to Genres on iTunes and go to the Dance section, then that one single Adam Lambert song shows up. This occurs with every artist, not just him. If I go to Rock, it shows all of them as well. It's as if...if you have an artist with a song in multiple genres it decides all of the songs should be in all of those genres. What's the point of it?
    I don't understand the point of the Genre section on the iPhone if I can't even sort my stuff correctly. Am I missing something or is this just how it is now?

    Have you read the manual for this plugin?
    It explains what High and Low refer to, and of course all the other parameters.

  • 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

  • IPod/Music App in iOS5 not sorting artist list alphabetically

    Hello.
    I've got what it seems to be an annoying bug from the new Music App/iPod in iOS5. It simply sorts my artists out of alphabetical order on the artist dashboard. I tried to use the option "group by album artist" on and off and it seems to have no effect on that issue.
    I also found a way to fix it temporally, erasing all music data, and resyncing all the playlists/selected albums. But whenever I sync again to add a new album or playlist, it messes up with the alphabetical order again. Anyone with the same problem? Is there a bug fix, workaround?
    I got some Screenshots of the problem taking place, attached below.

    I have the same problem, I called apple about it. they recommended that I killed the music on the device and then remove the .itl file. after completing those steps to no avail decided to remove the music from the device and then reinstall itunes as this was the next step according to the apple technician. nada. I was replacing my laptop that I sync with anyway so I moved the music to my new pc and re-added all music to itunes. before syncing I /completly/ wiped my device! synced for the first time everything went well. added additional music and viola *Problem Happen*! I know this isnt really that big of an issue but c'mon I thought that updating to 5.01 last night would help but no joy there either! hopfully some of you have better luck than I did, I will be calling apple today I guess. BTW, does anyone know where the indexing for the artist lists happen? is it in itunes or on the device itself. that may help in determining where the problem is actually created.

  • IOS 5.1 update and Music App Artist sort

    Since I have updated my iPhone to iOS 5.1, I have noticed something in my music app. When I select to sort my library by Artist, it now includes every artist that is included on any compilations I have. This wasn't doing this before.
    Whenever I had a song designated as a "compilation" it kept it listed/indexed separately and each individual artist did not show up in the Artist list...only those with complete/multiple albums did.
    Now that it's changed, it's really garbled up browsing. I have a big compilation of 80's music on my phone and each and every one-hit wonder from that decade has an entry in the Artist list...takes me forever to find anything now.
    I have scoured my settings and preferences but cannot find a way to make this like it was before. Did anyone else notice that this happened. Or am I just completely blind and missing a very obvious setting that might have gotten tripped to 'default' when the update was done.

    No one else have this happen to them....?
    If you run a restore on the iPhone, will that erase all of the apps as well? I'm thinking of doing that...

  • IOS 8.3 Music App Artist Sorting

    This is not a new issue with iOS 8.3 but it does seem to have gotten worse with the new update.  I have noticed for a while that there is a problem with the sorting of artists in the iOS music app and I am not sure how to fix it.  I have the same exact music loaded onto my iPhone 6 as my old iTouch, which is running the latest version of iOS 5, but my iTouch does not have this problem.    There are many artists that are listed multiple times in iOS 8.3, but not iOS 5.  Just to be sure, I did go through and make sure that the artist names were the exact same in iTunes and that did nothing.  I also deleted all of my music off my phone and then put it back on and that did nothing either.  It is very annoying if I want to listen to an artist and have 5 different listings of them.  I have even noticed a couple of songs listed under the wrong artist, even though in iTunes the artist is labeled correctly.  Is anyone else having issues with the iOS music app or has anyone fixed these?
    Also, a more minor problem, my music used to keep the last song I was listening to in the "now playing" section even after I quit the music app.  Now, whenever I quit the music app, the "now playing" doesn't show up when I open it again.  Is there a way to get that back?

    Hi Dom, I think I got to the bottom of this but it took a lot of time and effort. There were a few songs that were showing up under multiple letters. For example, artist ABC was showing up under letter "A" and right in the middle of the "A"s the same group was showing up under letter "T". I had updated the metadata for ABC so it was properly showing up under the letter A but the cloud version of the song was showing up under "T" for some reason. I had to delete the ABC artist from my iPhone and then hide the cloud version of the artist/albums and then re-sync with my iTunes again.
    I had to go through this process for 3-4 artists that were showing up under the wrong letter so once this was done, the scrolling is working again. It was time consuming and painful but I think it is working again.
    Regards, Ken

  • Is there a way to sort albums under artists in the Music app?

    On my iPhone, the albums under each individual artist are sorted from newest to oldest.  On the previous version of the iOS they were sorted oldest to newest.  Is there a way to change it back to show oldest to newest?  I like to listen to my albums in order.
    When you go into your music app, select the artist, the Albums should be sorted from oldest release date to newest.  Right now, when I go into Pink Floyd it shows:
    Wish You Were Here (1975), then it shows
    The Dark Side of the Moon (1973), and finally
    Meddle (1971)
    Thank you.

    If you find the music sorting order as annoying as I think most people do, let apple know at:

  • Music app won't sort albums by artist

    On my iPad 3rd Gen, after the 8.0 update, the "Group By Album Artist" check box in the Settings no longer works.  It used to group the albums in the Music app by the associated Artist, but now it just alphabetizes them regardless of the artist.
    I've tried:
    1) Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    2) Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Content and Settings
    3) Manually deleting all music content, resetting iPad, reimporting music to iPad
    4) Each of the above, but allowing a full day between powering down and then back up.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, because I'd really rather not switch to a nonstandard app for this.

    I am having the same issue as well with Linkin Park, M83, and Panic! At THe Disco. Itunes match on my Macbook shows all the albums and the artist pictures (when browsing through the artist tab). I just had my phone replaced a few days back and even after a fresh intsall of IOS 7.1.1 on this replacment model it still has the issue. I even set the device as a new device without iCloud back up and still iTunes match wont show the artist photos.

  • IPad Music App in Landscape Mode ios 7

    Why is there no cover wall in the music app on the iPad when I turn it to landscape like on the iPhone??
    The page looks the same, so now I can only see a few albums at a time instead of the old music app which looks like iTunes.
    I can't even view the "wall" of album covers like on iPhone and iPod.

    This non-feature alone makes using the iPad to play music an experience completely devoid of pleasure. Seriously. I just don't use iPad to listen to music anymore.
    I still have a 3GS iPhone so use that! Along with my MacBook, of course...
    Anyway, have complained to Apple on their feedback page several times in the vain hope they may do something about it. I have an iPad with retina screen and really want to see ALL the albums set out in the grid view like iTunes on the Mac. Really, can't understand why this feature has disappeared.
    If you read these forums Apple, please take note of the gnashing of teeth going on with regard to the music app in iOS7.
    Oh, and please let us have the ability to delete artists, albums... not just single tracks.
    Thanks.

  • Album View and Composer Tab on Music App on IOS7

    The new Music App is not exactly brilliant...
    There are several things what drive me "crazy":
    1. The new Album View doesn't sort the albums alphabetically according the album artist, but by the name of the Album - the former cover flow did that and in itunes you can choose how you do it. Why can't you choose that in IOS7?
    2. You selected a omposer - you go back to the composer list and select another composer - the music app on IOS 7 doesn't show the list of the songs by the new composer, but a mixture of the first selected and the selected composer... (that doesn't happen all the time, but very often) - when I go back to the composer list and select another composer I don't want to see a mixture.
    3. Why are the Musicvideos shown in the Album view shown, too? I would start them via the vide app - how can I get them out of the album view?

    See also this thread with same problem. Looks like a bug wrt. composer/album.

  • Why can I no longer watch music videos in full screen mode via a playlist in the music app since upgrading to ios7?

    Since upgrading to ios7 my iPhone 4S no longer allows me to watch music videos in full screen mode when I select the clips via a playlist from the music app.
    It's now more necessary than before to use the music app rather than the video app to select music videos to play.  That's because the video app doesn't list music videos by artist any more. And also because the fast forward and rewind buttons on headphones remote no longer work on videos.
    How do I watch full screen videos when rotating my iphone now shows my music library rather than showing the video itself?

    I do not think it is a problem to play videos in the full screen mode using the video app.  It should work just fine, it does work ok for me  on iphone 5.  The original question was to play music videos in the music app.  Music videos and videos are two different things - I am not sure why but they are.
    The problem here is that the music app supports lists and the video app does not.  I just looked at the ios7 video app and while my few test videos are shown in it, the lists they were in (in iTunes) are nowhere to be found.  There is no lists in the video app - period - which is as it was before. 
    The video app plays videos and music videos in the full screen mode no problem but if you have a few hundreds or more of such videos you will have hard time finding the one you want to play.  There is simply no way to categorize or group videos.  The old good folders/directories are, I guess, too simple for Apple.  It is just too bad that for years on end the world's leader in S/W development did not offer anything to categorize videos.
    You have lists, albums, etc., for music, you have albums for pictures but you have absolutely nothing for videos.  And this is and has been the Apple's state-of-the art solution for this problem - simply insist that the problem does not exist.  Actually it is getting worse.  Not only there is nothing to categorize or group videos but now the only way it could be done (by marking videos as music videos and using the music app) results in a mini playback area. 
    Soon this OS will be able to cook dinner for your but grouping videos... no way.
    What is happening here???
