My Issue

1. Play from a playlist
2. Be in the "now playing" view
3. Tap the 3 dots next to the song
4. Observe the "remove" option (see screenshot)
This option is super ambiguous - even misleading. Remove from what? A user looking for a way to remove the current song from the current playlist is going to assume that's what the button does


I assumed for a long time that the button meant "remove from current playlist", and now that I've realized that's not what it means, it's apparent that I've kind of **bleep** up my library by using this wrong.

 

This is a terrible user experience. Now there are:

1. Songs I thought I removed from playlists, but actually didn't
2.Songs that I didn't intend to remove from my library, but actually did


And I don't even remember what the songs were, so not only is my library now in a bad state, but the correct state is not even recoverable.

 

You could fix this by labeling the button "remove from my library".
