iOS 8.4 removes the ability to subscribe to a shared iTunes Library.


I also relied on this extensively. Quite a shock to lose it. There was no notification.


Eddy Cue tweeted that the feature will be restored in iOS 9.

iOS 9 release is many months away however.


I used Apple Feedback to request ability to revert in iOS 8 to prior Music app.
