You guys should get Ecoute.

I bought it before upgrading to iOS 10 so I could start getting used to it since reports indicated Music app was getting crapped on. Ecoute is absolutely well worth the one dollar (easily worth several more dollars!). It's almost exactly what Apple's Music app should be. Only criticism I have is the animation upon side swiping feels weird, but that's absolutely trivial overall.

I usually try really hard to stick with Apple's built-in apps, but this one is really good.

edit: Important to note that I actually own/have downloaded files for all my music and I do not use Apple's subscription service. Ecoute uses the iTunes library and files as synced from your computer, and I have no idea what it does for subscribed/cloud-only music.
