Crossfader still broken - gapless play still thinks it's a premium service!

[IaicC]

Have you fixed the AirPlay issue that was introduced in 1.8.0?

(playback stops when device goes to sleep)......

[blake]

So glad to see Your Music rolling out to the iPad!

What about album separators, still gone?

[Lorenzo_NGG]

Still gone. I hope to see it implemented again in the near future (or something similar...cannot stand that long tracks list)

Waiting for iphone 6 resolution fix too...

[user-removed]

Thanks for the info, wont update the app on the iphone then, still on 1.5

Album art for offline tracks is broken again. In fact it's more broken than it has been before.

[MattSuda]

Album art is working great for me in offline mode.

Note: of course still no album art for local files

[Gibbage]

It works for me on iPad but not on iPhone.

Once a track is downloaded, the album art shows in the small view but when you go into the now playing screen it doesn't. What's worse than before is (for me at least) it won't show the album art for downloaded tracks even when online.

Thanks for the update, the new iPad design looks really nice!

However, my problem that i`ve had with the latest versions of the iOS app is still present unfortunately. I have tried the 1.9.0 version on both my iPhone 6 & iPad Air and i still can`t sync an entire playlist folder, only single songs works.

I tried two ways,

1. In "Your Music", i push the edit button in the top right and then the little arrow button for the specific playlist folder i want to sync offline. I can see the arrow turns green but as soon as i go back one step the arrow goes grey again.

2. I select a specific playlist folder i want to sync and then turn on the offline control, same thing happens here. When i go back one step and then select the same folder, no songs have been synced/downloaded.

Are you aware of this issue or is it something with my setup that causes this?

Let me know please.

[MattSuda]

@radiuz I've seen reports of this bug before. You aren't the only one.

I'm really happy about Your Music finally being available. Hopefully this is the end of treating the iPad as an afterthought. And hopefully this means that discover is coming very soon.

Finally this looks as great as Netflix app in iPad. Previous version was joke, not really used it a lot... But now... I use it a lot when I'm not at home surfing through my iPad... Thank you.

It now looks like well made design, PREVIOUS WAS REALLY JOKE!!!

@Gibbage 

After using the app all day, I now have this problem too. I have reported the bug.

Hopefully they can fix the album art bugs for good. I'm so frustrated with it not working.

[JillyBob]

Ipad version gets rid of sorting playlists?

[arthurvasey]

On the contrary - tap the three dots - one option is Edit - that permits you to move tracks around - also works on the iPhone as well!

[Gibbage]

Thanks Matt, hope you can get a fix, it's really frustrating.
