how do i listen to all songs by an artist (without shuffle)

Open settings -> music -> sort songs and albums and select 'by artist.'

In the music app choose Songs.

You will now see that all the songs are sorted by artist alphabetically. Just scroll down to the first song of the artist of your choice and hit play.

Alternatively you can always create a playlist.

I have 9000 downloaded songs in my library and I don't have this problem.

There'a also a different solution. Start with the first album of your favorite artist. Then add next albums using play next and play later. You can then tap the repeat button and Music app will play your selected albums in a loop.

If that doesn't satisfy you you can suggest some changes directly to apple here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/

We are trying to help you. If you feel that finding a solution for you is an insult, maybe you should seek help elsewhere.

I have the same question too. You used to be able to just tap on the artist's icon and it starts playing all songs. In iOS 10 if you tap on the icon it takes you to the artist's albums and the only thing you can do is play shuffle or chose an album to play.

Anyone has a solution to this?

I figured it out. On iOS 10 there's an extra, hidden shuffle switch that needs to be turned off. While listening to a track, click on the bar at the bottom of the screen which brings its album artwork and controls. From here *scroll down* to find that hidden shuffle button, turn it off and voila!

I love how I can't "agree" with this "answer not helpful" response.

It's not like Apple allows a way to say "not helpful" to any comment. Not only that, recommends an tesponse that doesn't at all answer the original question.

Alternatively, for only the music in your library, you can do this:

When in Artist "sort by album" mode, hold your thumb on the album you would like to start with. Select "play". Next, hold your thumb on the next album you want and select "play later", and continue until you have all your albums.

I would suggest to do this once and then save it as a playlist... it does seem like a lot of work for something they used to have.

Ok, I've found a semi-solution (unless someone has a better one), it's not perfect, but you can play all the songs/albums in order. First you have to make sure you have the repeat on.

Tap the artist link, it'll take you to all the albums, then tap Shuffle and it'll start playing, then tap the song at the bottom of your screen and go into the song, then tap the shuffle button to unshuffle. Now it will continue to play all the songs in order from one album to the next.

The only thing is that the first song you play will not necessarily be the first song from the first album, but once you unshuffle it, it'll continue to play in order from that point on.

I hope that's not too confusing.

That doesn't really a solution. That's an insult.
Firstly, when you have thousands of songs it's hard to find when artist starts.
But most importantly, with this approach you can't loop one artist. It will move on to different.
And creating playlists? Really? That's Apple recommendation?!
I can "feel" how Apple cares about customers. Removing nice and simple solution and force them to use time wasting one. Great job.

Apologies for the words I used, it wasn’t directed at you, but to the situation in general.
Playlist solution was obvious to me, but it’s tedious to create playlist for each Artists when previously it was working automatically.
Songs solution doesn’t work for me as it does not create loop. And searching works alright till the moment you want to find non English Artists and you need to scroll, can’t use right side quick scroll to the letter.
Adding next Albums works when you have few albums, but when you have full collection for the artists (like 15 albums) not really.

I was hoping 3D Touch will fix it, but now when I have iPhone 7 I can 3D touch on Album and start playing it, why not Artist?
Apple constantly redesigns something which works just fine and suddenly very useful features are dropped. Not the first time that happens even with Music App. I’m loyal customer, but that’s so annoying. Will write feedback. Thanks for the link.

While a song is playing from your library, on the "now playing" pane (very bottom), click on song title to expand the view to full screen. Swipe up, from there you will see more options including the option to unshuffle (toggle the shuffle icon) or repeat play at the top right. You can also rearrange tracks to suite your listening mood.

Ran into the same problem.

It's ridiculous; in iOS 6 this was all so easy. Every iteration since then has made it harder to do simple things.

That said, I found another way after reading this thread. Go to the Search button at the bottom and search for the artist's name. Hopefully it is unique, and when you get the list, click show all next to songs, then hit the shuffle icon.

Seriously, why don't we have a shuffle all option in artist view?

This would not be helpful if I want to switch between the artists in similar fashion (all songs of a single artist in order of the albums) it is not feasible to use the play next option and it would be a totally nightmare to create hundreds of playlists, one for each artist. Would it be possible for Apple to look into this and consider what they have before?

Great idea but it does t work

Songs continually shuffle

Why would a user create a play list of albums that are already in the sequence you wish to hear them in

Apple we are your people - so fix this issue and re-install the play all songs by artist which was clearly omitted on the upgrade
