Or at least - it was.
Now, I use this thing primarily for listening to music on the move, with portable browser and communications probably less in my priorities really.
Up until a week ago, I was so pleased with the iTunes/'Music' app: played quickly, seamlessly, intuitive commands etc.
Also, if I flipped my phone on the side you got this great cascade of of all the album art on there... made selections easy too.
Now I admit, I'm the sad kind of fucker who spends much time encoding proper artwork for all ripped music etc - at the expense of more fulfilling life duties no doubt... I'm not ashamed.
What's maddening is the latest 'Music' app upgrade - now known as 'Apple Music' - is a shambles. Heaps of new features I couldn't care less about ("follow artists"... huh?) and as well as losing that aesthetically pleasing gallery of album artwork, the upgrade actually deleted the vast majority of album/track artwork I'd painstakingly encoded, leaving only official iTunes purchases artwork intact, and in some cases retaining only shitty stock photos.
No proper fixes seems to be noted out there so I just had to delete the whole contents of iTunes and reload the albums. Now I find that while the artwork is there lots of albums are missing any number of tracks...
Any ideas?
First world problems for sure, but I'd gladly skip back to the previous version of the music app as this is just garbage.
Plus - messages and stuff now seem notably slower, freezing and that... up until last week this device was lightning fast.
Previously there was this great 3rd party app called iFunBox which allowed you to plug your phone in and manually delete all the cookies and crap from certain apps. It appears that iOS 8.4 no longer allows this function.
FUCK YOU APPLE!
