Changes to music app after update to iOS 17.1.2 on 9th gen iPad

I updated to iOS 17.1.2 and now my alphabet index for music is gone when I create a new playlist or edit an existing one. On the right hand side of my songs listing, the alphabet was displayed so that I could quickly skip to songs beginning with that letter. That feature appears to have disappeared.

It also is a bit odd that to add music, I don’t select the “+” sign, that is to the left of “Add Music”, but instead select the “Add Music” text. It also is at the bottom of the playlist and prior to the update it was at the top of the playlist. It is preferred to have it at the top.

Also, when I am playing music and my Home Screen goes to sleep, I still see the song that I have chosen to play, in a mini song play view, but the volume indicator is missing. I thought both features appeared in prior iOSes.

An enhancement to think about. It would be nice if the notes app had an index like the song listing has. This would be very convenient to be able to skip to a note that begins with a specific letter.
