I just wanted to throw some thoughts out after switching back to an Android phone. I was having connectivity problems with my Windows Phone regarding my much needed iHeart Radio and TuneIn Radio Apps, and was also totally, as in, throw the phone in a pond, frustrated with the Windows Phone native music player. Can't sync, too many duplicates, playlist not working at all, so I went back to an Android phone with KitKat. Anyway everything works properly on Android, but after a while I started to notice how much more difficult it was to navigate around the native Android music player. Sure it's nice, but too complex. I'm yelling at the screen...why is this there, why do I need a "Get Lucky" playlist, and what the h*ll is this tiny menu option I can barely read. And I know it "looks cool", but it actually complicates things when Android has "Album Art" in every single menu...do they not get how hard it is to quickly sort through a bazillion pictures in every menu?
So the verdict is, the native Windows Music player is so much easier to navigate through. You can quickly (and with one hand... very importantly), move between Artists, Albums, Songs and Playlists and find exactly what you are looking for so much faster an more easily "with one hand". I repeat, finding what you want in the Windows Music player is so much faster and better...if it only worked...ugh. Anyway, I really love the Windows simple and effective interface. I'm hoping they get it working as far as playists, duplicates, "syncing" and getting the radio apps to stay connected. Then I'll be back.
Sorry, but I'm just venting a bit a frustration on how I wish the music player was working properly.
