Donna, I understand but give Siri a try. The iPhone seems to have multiple ways to accomplish the same task and you might be surprised at how handy Siri can be to play music provided it works like you want it to.
Let us know your results and good luck.

Hey Alan, You know, I very rarely use Siri to play music. Not sure why, just habit, I suppose. I'll give this a try and see what happens. It's so frustrating having gotten it to work once.

I'm still using ios 8.3 so my music app has not been affected by the changes they brought in to support apple music. I'd be curious how Siri would handle a request to play tracks by artist when both owned and streamed music are available on the same device. > > Alan Lemly > > Sent from my iPhone > >> On Sep 13, 2015, at 1:57 PM, Donna Goodin <doniado...@me.com> wrote: >> >> Hi Alan, >> >> thanks for responding. I don't have any problems with playlists, the playlist tab at the bottom is very easy to find. What I would like to do is be able to pick a specific artist, say Erik Clapton, and play all the songs that I have by him in my library. You used to be able to do this, Music would play one album and then just go on to the next one. the weird thing is, that once, I actually did see the all Song button, and was able to select it, but I haven't seen that button since that one time. >> Cheers, >> Donna >>> On Sep 13, 2015, at 1:34 PM, Alan Lemly <wale...@gmail.com> wrote: >>> >>> Donna, >>> >>> I sync my desired playlists to my iPhone 6 so that my iPhone actually >>> contains the music I enjoy listening to as opposed to using Apple Music or >>> another streaming service.
