Sep 20, 2016 3:24 AM in response to RichardRandallby kmbro,Maybe you just need to experiment with it and get used to The New Way...
If I tap on an individual song then the Up Next list is wiped, the song starts to play, and the next songs in the list I'm viewing (album, artist, all songs etc) get loaded into Up Next. So, yes, there's no explicit "clear", instead it's implicit.
Though if I've already got stuff loaded in Up Next then tapping on a song gives me the option of clearing Up Next or adding to it.
And if I press and hold on an album then I can Play Next to put it at the top of Up Next. Or I can Play Later and add it to the bottom of the list. But Play Later isn't always available - haven't worked out why yet.
Like I said, experiment! That's the problem with intuitive user interfaces - they're only intuitive if they do what you're expecting them to do. It took me bloody ages to find the Up Next view at all - swipe up from the Now Playing view - what's that all about? :-)

Sep 20, 2016 5:19 AM in response to kmbroby pheareme,I agree to a point.
After using Apple Music all weekend, not being able to explicitly clear 'Up Next' is not the issue I thought it would be. Generally speaking, adding songs/albums as either 'play next', 'play later', or adding and clearing up next when prompted works fine and gets me to where I need to be. It just required a bit of a shift in my thinking/expectations of how 'up next' should be managed.
This said, there is one use case I came across that is now a little messier to achieve with current up next functionality.
1. Used to be that while listing to a playlist, you could 'play next' to insert an album (or another playlist). If a couple songs in you decided you no longer wanted to play the recently added album/playlist and would like to resume what you were playing prior, you had the option of clearing just what you recently added and no the entire 'up next' list.
You can not longer do this. However, you can just scroll down the 'up next' list to the song you want to resume from and select it.
And I am definitely missing the song 'history' list.
The swipe up for the 'up next' list is actually nice, I am finding. As using portrait mode on larger devices (I assume, iphone 6 and greater screen size), in addition to the album art and player controls, you can see the next few songs that are in the queue. It is nice not having to explicitly select the 'up next' icon (as you had to do in ios9) to see what is going to play next.

Sep 22, 2016 4:51 PM in response to phearemeby RMJFlack,Weird. I sometimes wonder if Apple talks to actual users much. This is pretty basic to get missed.
Its actually a bit like in Mail there is no direct way to delete or move all the messages returned by a search. (There used to be kludge but that got killed I think a release or two ago). So I have to do all my inbox clean up etc on my desk top.
