Thanks -- this is certainly helpful.
But I'd really like to request that there be an easy way to access the full Music app functionality (and frankly any media-related app functionalitty) in landscape mode on iOs. I think most people would intuitively expect this to be possible easily, but clearly it isn't.
On a few recent roadtrips I tried to mount the phone on my dash horizontally as both a GPS and music player, which it actually did pretty well -- until I wanted to switch playlists. Then I'd have to switch back to portrait mode by taking the phone off the mounting, switching the playlist, and plopping it back. Really awkward, cumbersome, and pretty pointless. It's the difference between a few quick taps at a stoplight and having to pull over and fumble with the phone for a minute or two. Mounting it vertically is an option, I guess, but I prefer handling GPS stuff horizontally, and the new cable setup with all the cables out of the bottom seems to not work well with my mount.
Generally love Apple stuff, but it really feels like this Cover Flow/Album Flow/whatever has been foisted upon us a lot. I have to wonder how useful it really is -- I turn it off almost immediately, and I recall a lot of complaints when an iTunes update put it front and center. Nice to have, but please let us switch to a nice, boring, sorted list if we need to (which I think is most of the time).
