Back in iOS 8.4, Apple introduce a new "heart" icon in their Music app, which works in direct correlation with their Apple Music service that was released at the same time. By hearting a song, you're telling Apple that you love that song, and they can make better suggestions for you (in the "For You'" tab) based on it.

But if you don't subscribe to Apple Music—and don't think you ever will—that heart is virtually useless. And if you have a HUGE personal library of music and have been using the star-based rating system that's been around on iTunes since before the iPhone was even invented, you probably still want to star songs.

Problem is, in the iOS 9.3 update, Apple changed how you give star ratings to songs in the Music app. Previously, you would tap on the song name in the Now Playing view to bring up the rating system. If you try to do that now, you'll just open up the Album that the song appears on.

Now, to rate songs in iOS 9.3 and higher, just tap on the Album artwork in the Now Playing view. The album with blur, and you'll see the dots and/or stars that you're used to seeing right in the middle.

If the song has lyrics, it will show them as well, pushing the rating system up top near your status bar.

It's not that big of a difference, but if you've been tapping the song title since iOS 7, the change is not very intuitive. Plus, this new way kills the previous ability of tapping on the song name to rate it from the Control Center or on the lock screen. So if you're at the gym, you have unlock your iPhone first before you can rate anything... though you can still "love" a song. Go figure.

Even if you disable Apple Music to get rid of the "For You" and "New" tabs, it won't change the way any of this works. Thanks, Apple. Maybe we'll see some changes in iOS 10, but I'm not holding my breath.
