iOS7 Music Player. Am I missing something?
Ok. Music is pretty much the only reason I own an iPhone and up until today, I loved it. Today... not so much. This new music player organization system is simply terrible. I've gone from taking mere seconds to find any song amongst thousands to it taking so long that I give up before finding the song.
It used to go like this.
Scroll through clean and tidy list of artists. Select artist.
Scroll through short list of albums. Select album.
Scroll through 10-20 songs. Select song and enjoy. The whole process took seconds.
Today it goes like this.
Scroll through huge and bloated list of artists with useless pictures of bands or random album covers that I simply do not need to see. Select artist.
Scroll through 5 - 400 songs trying to find the one that I want to hear.
Throw iPhone across room in frustration after spending entirely too much time trying to find a song.
Is there a better way to organize music in the new app? Can I turn the pictures off? Can I collapse the songs from a particular artist into a short list of 20 albums instead of a list of 400 songs?
Speaking of organization, now lets talk about landscape mode.
Is there anyone on this planet who organizes their music in tiny columns by album title? Seriously? I've got Rush albums spread from one side of the list to the other. This makes no sense at all.
Again, is there any way to change this? Am I missing something? It used to be so simple. This is a mess!
