>> So I switched back to Apple music. It's pretty shit, but at least I get to decide what I want to listen too.

I love and hate Apple Music. The library style interface is great. But for a company that hangs on about the virtue of native apps the Music app is complete dogshit. Even with the recent slightly more native “rewrite” I still spend ages waiting for screens to load. Spotify is so much snappier.

Surprised by this comment - in my experience, Spotify is the only application I’ve used which takes a noticeable time to render its window when I alt-tab to it.

I mean alt-tabbing to it isn’t really ‘using’ it. I was referring to searching, clicking links to albums/playlists etc. with Apple Music these all load like a webpage so you get a white screen while they load.

My biggest issue with it is that every time my phone connects to bluetooth Apple Music starts playing my entire library on shuffle wasting all of my data and battery and there is no way to turn off this feature. It seriously has me contemplating switching but the alternatives are not appealing.

Definitely a bug and not a feature. I’ve never had this happen, ever.
