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

Hi,

 

With the new music app on IOS 10, how do you listen to all songs by an artisit without shuffle?

 

I prefer to listen to all albums by an artist in the order they were on each album (and then move onto the next album when that's done) but I can't for the life of me figure out how to do that in the new music app.  Playing my music like has gotten harder and harder with each update to the music app over the years.

iPhone 6s, iOS 10

    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?

    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.

    All that does for me is unshuffle the songs and play them in alhphabetical order (across all albums)

    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.
