Tip: How to swap Apple Music Connect button for Playlists


The new iOS Music app has five buttons of For You, New, Radio, Connect, and My Music. Connect is Apple's latest effort to use social media to connect fans and artists.

Poking around, I found you can disable Connect, which then will put Playlists in that space. This is the same Playlists feature that's was found as a tab in My Music. Once switched, My Music only shows songs without the Playlists tab.

To do this, go to iOS Settings, General, and Restrictions. Activate Restrictions if they are not already, and then disable Apple Music Connect. After you do that, the buttons will swap.

iTunes Ping flopped and time will tell how Connect will perform. Personally I'm not seeing much of interest, so swapping out the button makes a lot of sense for me.
