For those on an iPhone or an iPad, the “iPod” app has been replaced with “Music”, just like on the iPod Touch. With the app comes a few new tweaks and changes.Most notable is this: if you tap and hold on a song, you’ll get some more information about it.
Right now, this functionality doesn’t do much besides show information that’s already shown, like title, album and artist. But imagine if Apple fleshes out this functionality with other information over time, like genre or bit rate. What info would you like to see there?

Don’t get it on the iPad
Nice touch… if you move your finger as its held down the bottom part of the bubble “follows” your finger.
At last!
The main problem I have with this part of iOS is that the titles don’t scroll!
If you have a title more than one line long, you have no idea whats at the end. Especially annoying when looking for a specific TV show, and all you get is the show title and the first 3 letters of the episode.Â
Glad to see some help coming :)
You can delete whole artists at a time if you want…
