While this song is a clever workaround to the same song playing over and over again, I really hope this brings attention to Apple Music's UX team. I've run into small/nitpicky issues in Apple Music, but there are so many of them that they collectively make the product feel really unpolished.
Top issues:
- Poor feedback UI. Why did the music suddenly stop? Is it buffering? Did bluetooth disconnect? Why does the UI behave like I pressed pause?
- It doesn't start back up in the state I left it when its purged by iOS. Use case: I'm listening to the Radio, and someone messages me a link to a video on a website, I load the site/watch the video. When I go back to apple music it'll start back up in the Library tab.
- Whats the difference between Stars and Hearts? Why do songs in my library focus on Hearts, and songs on the Radio focus on Stars? Why is liking/disliking a song always a 2-step process?
- Inconsistent UI behavior: Start a song from your library and the mini player will slide up from the bottom, same with a Radio station. However, switch Radio stations and the now playing screen will slide all the way up, taking over the screen.
- Search requires too much effort. Please check my library first, and if there are no results I would appreciate an Apple Music link instead of a No Results screen, a la Spotlight in iOS. This is a solved problem!
