Apple Music feels like an alpha (Bugs list) [Suggestions] {Poll}

Yes Apple had some rough launches and products in the past but they were just much farther and few between. iOS 8 has been one blunder after another. But they want to sell more hardware so software is gonna be secondary as long as it kind of works most of the time.
For some reason the 'For You' tab and 'My Music' tab keep on switching places sometimes. So damn weird...
Also I have had needed to sign out and sign back in multiple times.

On iTunes 12.2, I can't add some songs from AM that were previously in my library (before the update) for whatever reason. It works perfectly fine replacing old songs on my 5s, though.
Artwork on my 5s for local files is also messed up; it shows album art from the same artist, but from different albums.

Yeah, that's one of my issues.
But duplicates, triplicates, and it completely spazzing on me and downloading random stuff, that I've never had. I can't understand how Apple didn't notice this, but I also can't understand how people trigger this with such a basic use case. You would think that this is is something that is noticed quickly...but I have a hunch that since the majority of people are not having these major issues, it's just a minority problem. Still huge though.
That is unacceptable. I have many songs by the same name, but are remixes or features guest artist. To truncate all names to just the song name is unacceptable.
YOU TOO!?
I'm sorry, I don't usually get that upset, but the music player on the iPad is driving me nuts because I keep tapping "My Music" and a song suddenly plays through the speaker and scares the crap out of me. I mean, come on! It dumbfounded me and I started watching my finger and I realized if you don't tap "My Music" just right the minelayer goes active. It thought it was my screen.
A lot of songs from the search results show with an album cover from a hit collection. I think thats a shame because album artwork is a big interface thing. Top results should show the original single or album first. Most of my playlists now show collages of hit collection covers and it looks cheap. I'm sure that somewhere behind some links I can find the original EP or single but the App is so buggy that most of the times it wont let me.
I love the whole concept and I'll be happy to give Apple my money for a solid music service. But this is a shame. Worse than Maps if you ask me.

Does not look like I will even try Apple Music. They actually have less songs that Play Music not even Prince is there (older stuff only interest me) and the sound quality is worse on mobile which does not affect me because I stream the highest quality because T-Mobile offers Music Unlimited.
Prince is a pain in the ass. That has nothing to do with Apple.
True true, he knows how to rock a solo and is a great producer. His talent is as big as his ego. Thats the problem.
I'm not sure if it's Apple Music or iOS. iOS shows some strange behavioure.

Well, at least my Evernote piece didn't go totally to waste - they've read it. Fingers crossed some of the concerns in this thread and my suggestions are implemented in time. It could only improve the service for everyone. (Incidentally the only person I emailed was Tim Cook...)
I think if Steve were here we'd be hearing from CoolAid drinkers about what a beephole he is because he just went on a tirade and fired a bunch of people for being incompetent many times over with Maps and Apple Music.
And I would be wishing I was there to see it all go down.
Apple Music is no better than the previous iTunes. Poof! $3B.

What address did you email? And do you have a link your Evernote piece...
Just Tim's public address. Evernote post is early in the thread but here it is again.

More a weird thing than a real bug: If you search for a song title and play one result straight from the search result page, it will continue playing the other results. If you search for "We Are Young" and you play the song by Fun., then right afterwards, you get the song "We Are Young" by "Le Kid".
Not sure how that would be in any way meaningful, as I think that you quite rarely want to listen to 10 songs of the same name in a row.

Thats fair enough, Spotify does the same - its just playing the playlist its created from your search results, I don't mind this.
