To each their own. I would only like to have control over shuffling, like not being forced to turn it off several times a day.
I have different kinds of music. When at the gym, classical music is the last genre from my library I'd like to listen. When listening to ambient during work I don't want to suddenly get hard rock or rap. Preferably no vocals at all.
The iTunes.app was capable of playing the music I wanted. Things went sideways when it was renamed to Music.app.
Pick one song I shazamed and poof, I get to listen to "random" "identical" songs for hours. A gem.
