Problems with IOS 5 Music App

There are several problems with IOS5 Music app that I noticed, (These problems were not present in previous IOS)

1. Slower loading for songs with lyrics - There is a slight (1~1.5) second delay in bringing up new album art/lyrics/etc when switching songs. The way it delays feels very unstable like the app is about to crash.

2. Graphical glitch when loading some songs with lyrics - The area between the section with the progress bar/repeat/shuffle button is and the section with the lyrics become screwed up, the album art and overlay effect in that area become distorted. This goes off when lyrics is turned off by tapping on the screen then bringing it back up. However the problem persists when track is changed.

3. Unnatural scrolling of lyrics - Scrolling lyrics (especailly when I do it fast) feels buggy.

4. CRASHES with some Apple Lossless tracks that causes the springboard to respring - the app crashes with some Apple Lossless tracks. I do not know what is causing the crash. The file is fully tagged with lyrics/albumart. It seems to load and then it lags then crashes. The track played fine in previous versions (4.1 and 4.3.5). I can assure you that there is nothing wrong with the file.

5. Apple Lossless tracks very slow to load - Those tracks are just generally slower when loading and the problem with lyrics gets even more severe if the track is Apple Lossless.

*Most of those problems occur in greater severity for Apple Lossless than mp3 files.

Very unhappy about this update at the moment. What's the point of adding all new features if it cant handle the very crucial component...

iPod touch, IOS 5.

You do not need to restore from a backup, or SSH to retain the application data (for games and such).

iCloud does this. Before restoring> Settings> iCloud> Turn on application data.

As long as you are logged in to iCloud on your device...literally anything toggled on in iClouds settings will alway be there....whether you restore from a backup or not. You just have to enable iCloud and all iClouds data will be there.

I never ever ever restore from a backup (iCloud or iTunes). And I never will.

But I alway have I bookmarks, contacts, and notes, simply because those options are are toggles on in iClouds settings.

Alway make sure that our backup your contacts and calendars with "one" account, and not multiple. Then things get mixed up.

In other words...if you have combats enabled in another email, and iCloud, them your contacts list will gets messed up.

Use only one account to backup this data....I have found that iCloud does this better then any of them (just does everything else horribly.lol)

Ok guys, I just restored and it works. Then I synched a small playlist and it still works. I'll let you know when I'll synch my whole library. Thanks!!!!

I said I only knew enough (at least about that) to be dangerous. 😝 Besides, what's a consonant or two between friends?

The idea that apple couldn't have known this was a result of this upgrade thru testing is absurd.

This is no longer a "handsoff" device.

I bought a car that had a computer device called Idrive. In the first days it froze and would not lock doors, change screens from gps to radio etc. Called dealer who actually said "turn off car, get out and lock doors, wait 1min get in and start again".

Delete, reload, resync? What, no rabbits foot?
