What the Fuck has happened to apple music? Seriously? I'm just going to list a bunch of complaints that I have with apple music, with (almost) all of them happening with this iOS 18 update (#1 was resolved with 18.1, but it bears mentioning

1. It's so fucking slow with 200 song playlists. I use an iphone 16 pro, and nothing brings the phone down to it's knees like apple music does, it's insanity. It regularly lags when scrolling down playlists, or even heats up my phone to the point that I have to put the phone down, which is so insane that a music streaming app will do that when I already do heavy gaming and it doesn't get nearly as hot. It's absurd. This was fixed by updating to 18.1 beta, but it's embarrassing that you have to go to the beta for it to not suck so much.

2. Music sorting doesn't work. I have a playlist with all of the songs I listen to, and sorting by date released no longer works. If I add a song released a few weeks ago, it shows up in between 1990's and 2000's release era,and not at the top of the playlist when sorted by newest to oldest. this goes for every single release for the past 3 weeks and it's so infuriating for it to not work.

3. It ruined a playlist that has been made for 3 years. I used to be a Spotify user (and will be again after this year) and I had every single song in a certain order from the order that I found it, and it was perfect. Well when iOS 18 dropped, it fucked up the order and the "playlist order" is now just shuffled with no rhyme or reason. New songs are in the middle, top of the playlist are songs from the late 10's, 80's are scattered across and it's so maddening that it's made me give up on a multi-year playlist. Truly the worst.

4. This is before iOS 18 and when I was using a 13 pro, but when I first moved to apple music, I had to get acustomed to adding music being placed at the bottom of a list, which is different from Spotify, which is fine, until updating to a 17.? Update, where it then started adding it to the top of the playlist, separating it from the other side of the playlist. It then at some point changed back to adding it to the bottom, once again making it separated from all of the recent song additions.this doesn't matter now because of #3 making it to where my entire playlist has been shuffled.

Every single one of these issues has made using it such a hassle that it's made listening to music, one of the most relaxing parts of my day to be as inconvenient as possible. Whoever is working in the apple music dept has to test this shit and realize how awful this is, and do something to fix these issues.
