So once again, google decided to fix what wasn't broken and give me "new features" and remove old working features that I used all the time. It's bad enough the new music player is absolute garbage and puts giant gaps between each song (this is the new "gapless" google play, lol). The gingerbread music player was perfect. The 4.1 player is unusable for me. OK, well I will just hook up my phone with the USB cable and play music directly off the card then instead of using the audio jack. Nope can't do that either because google, in it's infinite wisdom, has removed the mass storage USB option. I went from having a 2.3.4 phone that literally every single computer or stereo i plugged it into would recognize it. Now it is around 5% of them on a good day. I am not sure why google decided that making their device less compatible is a good thing that people want. I am not even sure how that makes them money (that HAS to be why they did it). But now that this 4.1 phone is useless as a phone and text machine and internet browser (as all android phones have always been forever) it is now useless as a music player for me too. Is there any option for me besides rooting or should I just give up and buy an iPhone?
