Not Another XBox Music App is Terrible Post, but Seriously It's Terrible.

I'll start off with what I really like about the new app. I love that I can filter my song list by songs that are stored on my phone and those that aren't. This is super useful for when I'm flying and forget which songs I've downloaded and I no longer have to resort to blind guessing. I really like that the player controls are on their "tab" in the main page of the app. It makes the flow of the app a lot better in my opinion.

But come on, no recently played list? What justification could they possibly have to remove that? I pretty much exclusively used to play songs out of that list, and now having to actually look for the artist I want to listen to out of the master list each and every time is quickly getting annoying. That's actually my biggest gripe with the app, and the other decisions they've made I can see some reason to. But this decision was just baffingly stupid if you ask me.

sigh It has been posted here many times in the past few days that the music app was not updated for 8.1 and has lots of problems. It will be fixed.

Playlists are broken anyway since they only queue up the same 100 songs everytime. I have to carry my tablet with me for music till this is fixed
