did they seriously just got rid of swipe to change song?

under xbox music, in 8.0, we swipe to change songs. this is ESSENTIAL for when driving or riding a bike, and I use my phone when riding and swiping to the left is much easier than looking at the tiny app for the "next" button. Update to bring it back.

You can bring back the os app. The new app will be updated to support that see @joebelfiore

This is a feature that people have asked to bring back in the official feature request page for WP. Here is the email response I received after putting my vote in:
Thanks for the feedback, this is something that a lot of folks have asked for so we are exploring designs.
