"If it ain't broke, don't fix it," is a motto that Apple should have applied to the iPad's new Music app.

iPad users who updated to iOS 5 may have noticed that the old iPod app is now named Music, a name that makes sense. But other changes to the app have ticked off users by making playing and managing music on the tablet decidedly less user-friendly.

What's even more confusing is that these changes are specific to the iPad. The music app on the iPhone and iPod Touch works the same as always, post iOS 5. I don't understand why Apple would not only tinker with something that worked fine before but only tinker with it on the iPad.

And apparently I'm not the only one.

The Apple Support Forums have seen various discussion threads and posts critical of the new Music App.
