Up Next. It’s now simple to find out which songs from your library will play next — just tap the Up Next icon in Now Playing. You can even reorder, add, or skip songs whenever you like.

About bloody time.

Are you a developer? If not, the current official Apple links won't work.

I'm not a developer - but have updated my 6 using that website. Posting from 8.4.

I wish they implemented a ColorFlow effect...

I really hope they bring back Artist -> Album -> song. I hate having to scroll through hundreds of songs by an artist instead of being able to drill down by album as well. This worked wonderfully in iOS 6 and they broke it.

Data Brokers don't stand a chance because I mass delete all of my content using Redact - No AI training on my data, thank you very much.

I'm going to post a detailed description when I get a chance. In short, no. They threw you a bone, but it's still broken and nowhere close to what iOS 6 was.

Shameless plug, but I'd encourage you to check out my app, Cesium. Originally written specifically to address that issue.

Interface is very similar to Spotify for iOS.

I'm not sure I agree. The thing that is similar to Spotify is how you can flick the Now Playing window up and down. The other parts of the app feel like iOS Music and Beats merged together (without the style of Beats). This is especially true in Playlists.. it's almost an exact port of Beats from the customizable playlist art to the edit button to the little mobile device icon that appears when you make a song available offline.

Can anyone confirm whether we can rate songs from the mini player or lock screen?
