It's cool how you can't tell whether shuffle is on or not except by getting your face right up to the monitor, squinting and clicking the icon repeatedly, hoping the difference between faintest gray and faintest gray gently kissed by faintest green will assert itself.

I miss iTunes.

so is there no way to a whole bunch of tracks to Your Music at once? looks like the most you can do is add a whole album, but you can't do a whole playlist.

i would love a way to "star" albums separately from tracks.

well awesome, the new (?) "Save" feature basically allows you to do just this. maybe it was there all along.

I actually miss the ability to Star tracks with a single click, since I had my Starred Playlist set to store offline as per some discussion above. Still getting used to My Music.

I mean can you just set all of My Music to be offline?

i am using spotify right now (free month trial) and i am loving it! like how it scrobbles to last fm, very nice... im still contemplating 10 buckz a month is worth it though?
― ledos, Sunday, 20 April 2014 22:17 (ten years ago) link
yes
― Scooby Doom (۩), Sunday, 20 April 2014 22:47 (ten years ago) link
Yes. It's kind of a great deal for what you get. Almost too good to be true.
― Jeff, Sunday, 20 April 2014 23:11 (ten years ago) link
it is worth it for me. there was a fairly annoying spotify commercial before the movie I went to today where a girl got a playlist from a ~cute boy~, linked it to her friends via text, and was all "AHHHHH look what Devon made me!!"

tempted to make a parody where I receive a playlist of Jim Ford rarities from my local record store owner and forward it to my brother

not sure what the point of 'your music' is & why it has replaced starred tracks for one-click adding w/out replacing starred tracks entirely. ticks are better than stars but otherwise I am at a loss
― ogmor, Monday, 21 April 2014 17:11 (ten years ago) link
yeah v confused by it all and dont want to spend the time to figure it out really.
― IKEA metaballs (Spottie), Monday, 21 April 2014 17:12 (ten years ago) link
You used to have to make a playlist out of an album in order to save it. Now you can just save it, and use playlists for actual playlists. Plus you can see your music by song or album or artist, and sorted a variety of ways, none of which was true with a flat sidebar of playlists.
― glenn mcdonald, Monday, 21 April 2014 23:56 (ten years ago) link
thinking of it as an archive makes more sense. might be useful for mobile if I can be bothered to fill it up. was never big into albums playlists but I appreciate that organizing music is a pretty daunting task, I only wish the year info was better as I do like to group things chronologically

Scared to install in fear that it will make my phone explode.
Ok, this is like a billion times better. Don't know wtf happened with that last release.

is an update available for iOS 6?
― nitro-burning funny car (Moodles), Tuesday, 22 April 2014 14:46 (ten years ago) link
No idea, I'm on 7.

Are you guys talking about iPad? Don't see much difference on iPhone between this update and the prior one. Also no Repeat One.

The update is that isn't crashing constantly.
― Jeff, Tuesday, 22 April 2014 15:04 (ten years ago) link
Which is really all I care about. Just play the music.
― Jeff, Tuesday, 22 April 2014 15:05 (ten years ago) link
yeah, seems much better for me as well. I can actually hit 'next' with the screen locked again!
still wish the art for all my local music didn't get zapped :-/
― original bgm, Tuesday, 22 April 2014 15:16 (ten years ago) link
so, I imagine 'stars' are getting phased out now, huh? suxx.
― original bgm, Tuesday, 22 April 2014 22:17 (ten years ago) link
I never really used the stars. Of the new system is a way to organize albums I want to have easy acces to, but keep it separate from the playlists that I create, then that's great.
― sctttnnnt (pgwp), Tuesday, 22 April 2014 22:21 (ten years ago) link
Chronology - yes. And I realize that my favorite playlists are often idiosyncratic...I wish you could locate playlists by means other than title. Like keywords. It needs more social "glue", more personality.
It sucks when you get re-recordings when you search for songs, especially when you want to spice up your playlists with one-hit wonders or oddball tracks.
― I am Sporadicus! (I M Losted), Tuesday, 22 April 2014 22:41 (ten years ago) link
otm. One rerecord can ruin your whole playlist.

If the stars go, I go.
― Jeff, Tuesday, 22 April 2014 23:43 (ten years ago) link
loss of stars is a shame, in theory you could just add to 'starred' playlist but yeah it's not the same. i'm also guessing you can't see what tracks ppl have saved which is a shame cuz ppl's starred playlists could be pretty interesting/great. otoh 'save' w/ albums has definitely increased the utility of the app. love everything else about the update, much closer to matching the desktop experience.
― balls, Tuesday, 22 April 2014 23:48 (ten years ago) link
never really understood "starred". was it a rating system?
― I got the glares, the mutterings, the snarls (President Keyes), Wednesday, 23 April 2014 00:52 (ten years ago) link
No. You could only "star" or "unstar." It was a list of Favorites or an On-The-Go Playlist, the default playlist that was always first and easiest to get to. Still there, but harder to add to.
― Kilgore Haggard Replica (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 23 April 2014 01:18 (ten years ago) link
Just a quick way to note a track for replay-ability. 80% of the time I listen to music, it's my starred playlist on random.
― Jeff, Wednesday, 23 April 2014 01:32 (ten years ago) link
yeah "starred" is now this weird neutered version of its old self, functionally a normal playlist but one you can't move or delete
― anonanon, Wednesday, 23 April 2014 01:34 (ten years ago) link
Basically a while back, based on somebody's suggestion upthread, I set my Starred Playlist to be Offline and never looked back. Until now.

Mines off line. What's different about that?
― Jeff, Wednesday, 23 April 2014 01:49 (ten years ago) link
Nothing. For all I know it was you who gave me the idea.

PERHAPS.

I use this app every day and lost track of what the hell you people are talking about two dozen posts ago.
― pplains, Wednesday, 23 April 2014 01:59 (ten years ago) link
It means its stored on yer comp/phone and you can play those tracks when not online
― Scooby Doom (۩), Wednesday, 23 April 2014 02:00 (ten years ago) link
I defer to ilxor Jeff on these matters.
― Kilgore Haggard Replica (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 23 April 2014 02:19 (ten years ago) link
This is just semantics, make a playlist, call it "Starred tracks" and add songs that you want to itOh no, one more click
― brimstead, Wednesday, 23 April 2014 03:03 (ten years ago) link
What even is offline listening for? Air travel?
― brimstead, Wednesday, 23 April 2014 03:08 (ten years ago) link
Subway travel. Not using cellular data when you are not on wifi.
― Kilgore Haggard Replica (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 23 April 2014 03:21 (ten years ago) link
ah ok, that's pretty useful then
― brimstead, Wednesday, 23 April 2014 03:47 (ten years ago) link
Yeah and it doesn't eat at your data.
― IKEA metaballs (Spottie), Wednesday, 23 April 2014 06:34 (ten years ago) link
I have only ever starred tracks by accident.
