Searched the forum but didn't find anything useful...

Are there any changes in iOS 12 to the Music app and Apple Music?

There are “slight” changes but I know people are looking for another overhaul and I don’t think we’ll see that until iOS 13.

The minor changes are welcomed though if that helps lol (3D Touch on nowplaying/albums/songs is much faster and works properly with a smoother animation, changes to Artist pages in AM, etc.)
 
I wish they would just fix the display of Classical track names (or other really long track names) so they wrap to a second line (like Amazon Music does) rather than have a ... so you don't have to guess what track you want. This is the only thing that really irritates me about the app.
 
I think that it’s possible they’ll get rid of iTunes and will make a new Music app which will be ported to macOS in the same way they did with News, Stocks and Voice Memos. But we’ll see...
 
I wish they would have a section for radio stations (FM stations) so I wouldn’t need iHeart or TuneIn and include Podcasts in the Music app.

I’ve said before that I think Apple should just make one catch-all music app with iTunes and Podcasts and Radio tied into it, but so many people complain about bloating that I think this is their best alternative. To me having all these separate apps is more confusing but I have to remember not everyone wants to use AM or some users only want Podcasts and some people only purchase music so I don’t really know what the fix would be. Guess you can’t really please everyone but Spotify seems to do a decent job with it so it can’t be *that* difficult lol
 
If you go to an artist page you’ll notice larger art but that’s it
