Bug in iOS 10 Music "Up Next" List

Another thread in this forum on the same issue.

Is there a bug in shuffle songs? iOS 10.0.1

Update iOS 10.0.2 did not fix this....

Here's a great idea for the Up Next play list.

Instead of swiping Left and then pressing Remove (a two step operation for each song), why not have an "Edit and Done" window - which is the standard when manipulating any other list of items in a iPhone?

A person would press Edit and that would open the ability to remove several songs at once and reorder the songs, then when you're happy with the edited list hit Done and the changes are saved to the Up Next list.

I'm not sure why Apple chooses to make removing a song from the Up Next list a two step process for each song, but when you want to remove a whole bunch of emails from Mail you can do it in one big batch at a time with an Edit/Done window.

But then again I would be happy if Apple just got the current Remove function in the Up Next list working.

Tiny steps.....

Q.

Just want to post what I have found with iOS 10.0.2 and Music Up Next list...

If you are still having trouble with removed songs reappearing back into the Up Next list, I seem to have found a way to get all the song removed from the Up Next list to stay removed and not "magically" return when the current song switiches to the next song.

After removing songs from the Up Next list - change the order of at least one song in the list. That seems to lock-in the "remove" changes that get ignored when the current playing song changes. Don't know why???

I found this by trial and error after noticing the removals would sometimes return (and sometimes not) when the song changed. I narrowed it down to moving the order of at least one song gets the removed songs to stay locked-out. If the only edit I make is song removals, without changing any song's order, then the removed songs return to the list when the current playing song changes.

I'm not sure why Apple chooses to make removing a song from the Up Next list a two step process for each song (swipe Left, then hit Remove) but when you want to remove a whole bunch of emails from, say, Mail you can do it in one big batch at a time with an Edit/Done window. The Up Next list should have an Edit/Done option like any other list within Apple.

Anyhow, that's what I've found - hope it helps.

Q.

Not sure but this may have something to do with "compilations" albums, or albums that contain songs from different artists, like a movie soundtrack album.

I have seen that artists in those compilation albums do not show in my "ALL Artists" music library unless "Compilations" is highlighted in the Column Browser.

Yep. The ability to Remove songs from the "Up Next" list seems to be working and stable with iOS 10.1.
