![]() For You is useless to me and anyone else who has a large music collection of their own they're already "subscribed" to (mine is currently 160 GB and growing). This process is slowed down even more because you have to wait for a popup to tell you Apple will "recommend more like this" in a tab that is for subscribers only. ![]() You have to pull up the Now Playing screen and tap on the ellipsis icon in the Music app just to get to the new Love/Dislike icons. You can't "rate" from the lock screen and you can't "rate" from the Control Center. What's worse is that Apple isn't even making the new Love/Dislike process easy. ![]() UPDATE (12/12/16): The new iOS 10.2 update just brought back star ratings in the Music app, but the setting is off by default. It's how I've organized my music for over a decade, so having to switch to heart and crossed-out heart icons sucks, especially since I have no desire to subscribe to Apple Music. Right now, this is my biggest issue with iOS 10, since I've been using iTunes to store my music ever since star ratings appeared in 2002-and I've been rating and syncing songs ever since the ability was added on the iPod Classic. The star rating system has been slowly making its way out the door ever since the Love/Dislike system came into play with Apple's paid subscription service, which is now your only option for "rating" your personal music library on your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch directly from the Music app. It's still possible to rate songs, it's just very irritating. Can't figure out how to give songs star ratings anymore in your iPhone's Music app? That's because Apple removed the ability to do so from the new iOS 10 update, just as I expected they would.
