Ratings and reviews

When I add a song to the queue, it displays a message saying "song added to queue" which covers up the buttons at the bottom, so I have to wait for it to disappear before I can look at my queue. Horrible use of screen real estate. And now it puts a big message over the album art that asks if I want to cast to a nearby device, even though the cast button has always been there in the top corner. I have to hit X to get rid of it, but if my finger is too many pixels to the left, it'll cast anyway.

For the most part, I like this better than Spotify. I'm still disappointed how some of the artists I like, there are only 2 or 3 albums available when there are 10 or so. I dislike how when the band has a "the" it's under the letter "T". Some bands like The Dave Pike Set have it both ways so some of their albums are in different places.

Playback freezing seems to be fixed but the "radio" playlist generation has been significantly nerfed. The previous algorithm played almost no music that was new to me, and the new one plays almost exclusively music I've never heard before. It used to be a pretty good mix a few years ago. The radio also caps at like 20 songs so if you're trying to set it and forget it you're going to need to make your own custom playlist or select a new starter song every 1-2 hours. UI is less user friendly :(
