Easy way to jump between albums by same artist?

I'm sure I am missing something but more often than not if I want to listen to another album by the same artist the music app always puts me back to the library menu. I then have to search for artist and then the new album. I cant find away to simply back track one level (back to artist) and then choose new album.

Is there an easy way?

Thank you

Hi,

I just tested a search with an Artist I don’t have, so I would get an authentic test. The red text works in any scenario.

I assume you are using the Music App and not iTunes?

A restart and resetting might be in order for you to fix this. Try the below steps, then test it:

If the Music App isn’t responding

Make sure your iOS software is up to date

Close the music app- How to force an app to close on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT201330
in Settings- General- Reset - Reset Network Settings
Restart your iOS device (until the Apple logo appears)

In the library if you begin with the Artist, when you go back you will go right back to that artist to choose another album

Alternatively, if you tap on the red text under the now playing song title you will see “ Go to Artist” or “Go to Album”

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately this doesn’t work, I thought it should hence my question.

if in my current session I searched artist and album I can back track by using “artist” up top left of screen. However if I just hit play on current song (new session) I can’t backtrack to artist, I get put all the way out to main menu.
Nothing happens when I hit reddened band name on current track

thanks

Thank you for your time. I did the above and at least now the top left link allows me to simply back track to artist. Unfortunately the reddened artist text under the song title doesn’t link anywhere, nothing happens. I am however happy with the current fix.

thanks
