Put the knife down and take a green herb, dude. (c) Ruffin Bailey 2001-2016

I like to listen to artists by album, and I like to pick which album to start from. No luck in iOS Music-land. From macrumors.com:

Click the artist's picture when you're viewing it in the list of artists, not once you've selected the individual artist
OMG Seriously! Far out, Apple have done bad!

Thanks for that though

That was not particularly discoverable.

But it gets worse...

You click the artist's picture (not their name) and it starts playing the first album, and the next. (you can verify this in Up Next)
That certainly works, but the albums are still sorted in reverse chronological order (and have been since iOS 7).

So bad. Big league! This has driven me crazy for years. You'd think Apple could get the iPod part right by now.

I tried Cesium. Something eventually talked me out of it... I think, in addition to the fact that Siri only uses Music, that I recall a few nasty crashes.

Doesn't seem like a music app would be this difficult to get right. There were lots of decent ones on OS 9-, for instance.

Labels: apple fail, ios, iTunes, music
