new Music app issues issues

The new Music app that comes with today's iOS update really is irritating.

It pushes the new streaming service and @connect services (which I have zero interest in) by locking them in the bottom of the screen.

Automatically started following artists without asking.

It blew out all my custom playlists.

I hope to god that I only have to resync with the computer to get my playlists back!

Oh, and here's the best part, it removed all my music! Now I have to wait until I get home to resync my music back so I don't use up my cellular data downloading music from the cloud!

Can I rollback to the old Music app, if not it there a way to remove the @ connect and radio icons on the bottom?

Try turning off Apple Music in Settings > Music.

This happened to me - worse still was that the the space used by the deleted music (30GB) cannot be reclaimed. I have restored twice and cannot get the space back. Looks like I will have to start completely from scratch and lose ALL the application data that isn't saved to iCloud, which is most of it because very few apps bother doing that.

FWIW I tried restore from backup, and that didn't work, the 30GB was still missing and the music wasn't there.

What did work was to choose Settings/Reset/Erase all data and settings, which does exactly what it says. I then plugged the iPhone into iTunes and restored from my backup and it worked properly this time. I guess the restore must have tried to be clever the first time and overlay what it saw on the device. With a clear machine it had to be more thorough.
