Man, the iPod had a great interface for quickly browsing a hierarchy of organized music. I know that people hate organizing music into hierarchies. I know that search is faster than browsing (usually). I know that curation is hard generally. But... I listed to a wider variety of music when I could start at an entry point and browse my way in, possibly tripping on a long un-listened album along the way. Now with most search driven music subscription apps, I feel like 1. Browsing functionality is crap. I typically can't go in looking for a genre and find anything I want to listen to. 2. The search feature is a brick wall of need-to-know-what-you-want-to-listen-to. Also, having the TV on (routed digitally to a DAC / Amp) to listen to music sucks. Most of the streaming apps for TV scream for attention visually, when I want to—surprise—listen to music. So yeah, a small interface that I can reliably browse music from like an iPod attached to my sound system but could also be taken with me sounds lovely.
