Hi,
Thought this might be of interest to some who like to have a Playlists tab again at the bottom of the Music app and get rid of the entire Connect stuff. Here is how you do it: 1. Go to Settings, General, Restrictions 2. At the top it says "Enable Restrictions" and by default this is turned off. Turn it on, but be careful since it will ask you for a passcode and as far as I know this is not the same passcode you use to unlock your phone since it asks you to enter a 4-digit passcode and then to reenter it. Make sure you use one you can remember because otherwise if you ever want to turn the Restrictions back off you can't do it. I just used the same passcode that I use to unlock my phone. 3. Once you have set a passcode, swipe down the list until you find "Apple Music Connect". 4. Make sure you get the context, by default all items listed are "On" and that does not mean they are "On" as in "restricted". At the top the heading says "Allow" so that means if an item is On it is allowed or, in other words, there is no restriction. Turn "Apple Music Connect" off by double tapping on it, then just exit the Settings app or go back to the main settings screen by using the back button or scrub gesture. 5. Now if you go to the Music app, "Connect" is gone from the 5 tabs at the bottom and it is replaced with "Playlists". This gives you easy access to all your playlists and if you now go to "My Music" the "All Music" and "Playlists" selection is gone since you have all your Playlists accessible via the Playlists tab. You now have the following 5 tabs at the bottom: For You New Radio Playlists My Music >From what I have heard on Podcasts so far it appears the Connect feature is little more popular or successful than the old "Ping" service Apple at one point came up with. I think people just want to listen to music and maybe share what they are listening to on Facebook or Twitter, but it seems they don't care too much about the rest. I did, by the way, figure out that I had to turn on "iCloud Music Library" in Settings and Music on my iPhone and now it appears all my artists, albums and songs show up even those where it says "iCloud Needs Upload" in iTunes on my laptop.
