I think something has happened at Apple. I would consider a playlist or dynamic filter (eg. Rock songs or Beatles songs) would be a beginner&#x27;s desire. It&#x27;s one step beyond &quot;play&quot;.  Yet, the new Apple Music app is highly cryptic. It&#x27;s been engineered to steer you toward the new subscription service. Usability for novices and pros has been crippled.
I could say similar about Apple maps. It just doesn&#x27;t work properly.  Google has really taken the crown here.
It&#x27;s sad to see Apple lose focus when they&#x27;ve held the benchmark so high for so long.
