Apple Music becomes interactive: Share your favorite songs and work on playlists with friends
The Crossfade feature allows users to seamlessly move from one song to the next, without interruptions. However, there are currently reports from users that enabling Crossfade in the settings causes the app to crash - we can confirm this too. Apple is expected to fix this in an update. The Apple Music user interface has also seen some changes. The music player now offers animated full-screen graphics for albums that support this feature. The album art is seamlessly integrated into the lower part of the music player, where the controls are located. In addition, the minimized player gets a floating style above the Apple Music interface. Another new feature is the introduction of collaborative playlists. Users can work together on a playlist and react to each other's favorite songs. Although this feature will only be available in a later update, it promises an interactive music experience with friends and family.
