How can I play all songs from one artist?

Actually factually incorrect. Clicking on the artist loads their individual albums and you can only select songs from individual albums. I don't want to shuffle 7 albums that have a beggining middle and end, I don't want to stop and open a new album every time one finishes. I'd love to be able to use my music app like I used to and listen to ALL the music from an artist WITHOUT shuffling it all to ****. Shape up Apple, the last 3 years have been a disaster for your products and your ridiculous lack of customer support is forcing people away from your product. (I'm writing on a forum of Apple product USERS, no one on here is an Apple employee, what a farce) so again thanks for ruining something that worked and completely handing responsibility to your customers.

Glad I have my SAMSUNG!

I have almost the exact same problem, but I want to play all of the songs from one artist in the order they appear. I hate the shuffle feature. Is there anyway I can start with the first song on the first album and play them all of the way through to the last song on the last album and have them repeat without shuffling them? I have over 4,000 songs. For most of my songs, I have them in the exact order I like them played. I cannot create new playlists. If I can't do this, can I switch back to the old version?

Honestly, I know this gets said a lot, but if everyone who comes across this thread goes to http://www.apple.com/feedback/ and gives Apple some feedback they might actually listen. I've been giving feedback on issues I feel strongly about for years and it does seem that Apple listens.

For instance: once a major OS release came out (I think it was Snow Leopard) and they broke this basic functionality where you could click and drag a file, and simultaneously hit CMD+` on the keyboard to cycle through windows to drop your file into... and it drove me absolutely crazy. So I left them feedback (as I assume did others) and it was one or two iterations later when the functionality came back.

This is one of many instances where this has happened at Apple. My personal belief is that the company is getting to be very bloated, and as teams of software engineers move onto new projects or retire, a new guard comes along who will tend to break and subsequently overlook subtleties that may not be so subtle to others. Case in point: this obvious need to be able to play an artist's entire catalog in order of date, and not just alphabetical song order (because who on the planet wants to listen to Pink Floyd out of order!?).

Feedback- let Apple know 😉

Has anyone noticed that this has been discussed since 2015 and it still hasn't been fixed? To me it seems like Apple doesn't really care about the consumers wants... but then again we should all have figured this out with all the terrible decisions that have been made... for example getting rid of a headphone jack... the initial switch to the lightening cable... the in ability to have basic customizations on your phone... just my two cents...

Also just a heads up if you go to search on the bottom right, type in the artist, scroll down to songs, and you can click show all... this is the only way around this issue I have found... a bit rediculous and inconveniet but it works...

Yes, but they are listed alphabetically, not in order of album as I have them conveniently in iTunes on my MacBook. Any solution to this? I have some artists where I have some 'Albums' that are just single songs or just a few, like a single release; I would like to listen to an artist's work in order of release while on a drive, but not necessarily with the forethought to have created a playlist for each & every one. Any solution to the alphabetical listing? Otherwise your solution is great.

I HAVE THE SOLUTION!!!!!!

When you go to the artist you want, hold down on their album so the menu pops up and click "Play Next". Repeat this with all the albums you want to listen to and they will play, in correct order.

Hope this helps y'all!

Found your question when trying to do the same thing... found the easiest( although still slightly long winded) way was to go to artist, sort albums ( I wanted to play from earliest to latest) then just select the album to play next ( for the first one) then play later ( for the rest)

This doesn't work on my iPad. Running iOS 10.3.3.

All clicking on the artist's picture does is show all the albums from that artist on the right hand side of the screen. There is no option to get all the music by that artist to start playing.

Is this answer out of date? Is there any way to shuffle through all the songs by a single artist without creating a playlist?

In addition, is there any way to display the albums within an artist by year instead of by name? Currently they are sorted by name in my iPad and there doesn't seem to be a way to change it.

In the My Music section of the app, you can sort the display using the top centre menu which contains a list of Artists/Albums/Genres/Songs/Compilations etc.

Select Artists, if it is not selected already and all the Artists in your library are shown on the left of the screen on the ipad or below on the iPhone. Simply click the photo to left of artists name and it will play all the music by that artist.

You can shuffle or repeat things in the 'now playing' screen which is available by clicking a blank space along the bar near the bottom of the screen next to the play/pause/next track buttons. The shuffle/repeat functions are at the bottom left side.

You will have to create a playlist.

Considering this was functionally possible before the introduction of Apple Music a few weeks ago, it's pretty jarring to know that small changes can just pop up and be pretty annoying when it interferes with how you want to enjoy your music. Did the layout with each album's songs displayed **** off a lot of people. I can't imagine.

I am so upset with Apple for this issue. How could they make it so you can't get a list of all songs to pick from, like before? They need to correct this today!

Once you have selected the Artist you want to listen to, you can arrange in what songs they will be played,

regardless of what album they are on.

Once a song starts playing, select it and it pops up in full screen.

the the right of the <forward> icon is another icon that looks like 3 bullets.

Click on that icon. This will pull up all the songs.

Select the first song you want on the list and press down on the little hamburger

looking icon all the way to the right and hold down for a few seconds and now just move up

and down and drop wherever you want it on the playlist.

Hope this helps.
