        Honestly, my life would be easier if I didn't pay attention to some stuff. Very loosely work related, and my mind's got a kink for such things, so I go with it 🙂

          My grievances against iOS 7 are well-documented here, and doubtless tiresome.  I have to add another, specifically to Music, specifically to a behavior I already griped about, the landscape album art browser.

          I hate it for all the reasons detailed above, though I forgot to mention that, regardless of what you're listening to, the nonsensical UI always starts out with the first alphabetical album title.  So, even though I'm listening to an album starting with "W," this obtuse UI, which wouldn't even be useful if it started there in my album listing, compounds its uselessness by starting at the top alphabetically.

          But here's something EVEN WORSE.  Even if I am watching a music video, I found out today, against YEARS of established UI convention, rather than showing me a full screen of the video, it goes to this goddamn stupid album tile view.  That's right folks, there is literally no way to get a full screen view of a music video.

          What in the unholy fuck is going on at Apple?

          Here is the ONLY way I can view a music video:

          Think it, be it.

            MCL I don't listen to music on my phone (not hating, I just don't), it is such a core piece of their offering, seems totally off. They're not even updating iPods any more, really. I would imagine if you rotated your phone it'd properly show the video, either that or start it through Videos. I imagine they've changed the nature for doing what you're trying to do….or hope at least....

              It's a straight up regression, full screen in iTunes is gonzo, period. Check out the obnoxious behavior on iPad:

              That's right, the video is bigger in a portrait orientation than it is in the video's native aspect ratio for the device.

              It does work in Videos, but that's not good enough. I shouldn't have to launch into another app. In fact, they could even link from Music to Video to have a decent workflow.

              Think it, be it.

                Okay, so there is a solution, which is good, but I agree that it's a regression in functionality. What were they smoking? I still believe they rushed 7.0 out. I'd prefer no parallax but images for breadcrumbs. Having text for breadcrumbs is rather annoying.

                    Offices about it being rushed is correct that's my suspicion as well

                      Ok, don't laugh. I just bought a 4S with iOS7.

                      It's my first leap into the world of smart phones (obviously, I am a "late adopter".)

                      Any advice on a nice case? Not giant and rubbery. Something a little sleek. Possibly even a handmade leather option?

                          I have a ballistic case for my 5. Very slim and protective. May be one you can use.

                                      Ditto. They had plenty in my local Verizon store. In fact, and hour after I got mine, Jody walked in and get hers after Sprint fucked her over

                                        Can someone tell me how to actually delete songs from my iTunes? Whenever I do I only get the cloud icon and they don't actually disappear. All the music I've ever deleted is now back on my phone after the update and looks like this

                                          When in the Music App I just swipe left and a delete button come up.

                                            Yeah, for me it says delete and after press delete the song just pops back up with a cloud sign next to it.

                                            Anyone update to 7.0.2 yet?
