Agree that Apple Music needs some improvements when driving and cannot access the screen.

Playing my 'personal' station in the car loads usually 2 to 15 tracks. These play in a loop. Wait, what?-I thought this was a station? Have to click the 'personal' station button again to load the next 2-15 tracks.

This kind of thing has gotten worse since they moved to server-side authentication. Every single request made has to be authenticated first....on the server side. If there is a lot of traffic you just have to wait. Try adding a song to a playlist; often this takes just a few seconds but sometimes it can take a few minutes (Wi-Fi or cellular, doesn't matter).

Apple has a mostly captive audience, so their services can survive by being "just good enough".
