Bigger album covers and other improvements for the Music App

[Andrew73875]

I've noticed that album covers are becoming smaller with each iteration of the iOS, despite the fact that screens are getting bigger. It's always nice to look at a beautiful cover art while listening to music. It makes the whole experience a bit more magical. Just compare Music App on iOS 5

And iOS 15

Another question is why "Shuffle" and "Repeat" buttons are now hidden in submenu? There was enough space on iPhone 3G but not on iPhone 13 somehow. Also notice that the name of an album is no longer visible. But it was there on iOS 5.

It's also impossible for a user to rearrange icons on the tab bar. Do you remember when Steve Jobs presented the very first iPhone? The guided tour showed you how to move icons around depending on your needs. You can check it here

It doesn't work anymore.

Another question concerns Airplay. On iOS 5 the button wasn't visible unless you have something to connect to (i.e. Apple TV, speaker etc). Now it's always there, even in airplane mode. It seems rather strange considering the current trend for removing unnecessary buttons. And of course Cover Flow. I think there should be some kind of way to look at your albums in a landscape mode. Maybe not Cover Flow but something similar. All these features would make Music App more enjoyable and even magical. What are your thoughts on all this?

How about a 10 band EQ and not the one in iOS settings?

I've wanted this for a long time.

Also it would be nice to start listening to a song on one device and continue on another. Like on Spotify.

thanks. but the procedure involves iTunes and I was simply dreaming about adding any MP3 I have on or transfer to an iPad can be added to Apple’s Music… one can dream, can’t one? ?

I once used iTunes Match and it was a horror show. Messed up album art, metadata would separate songs into separate albums (ex: Jimi Hendrix Exp for some songs, The Jimi Hendrix Exp for others)…
