YouTube Music for Wear OS just got a new update and it’s a bit of a mixed bag. It fixes a long-standing problem when navigating songs in albums, but also introduces an interesting play order solution, to put it mildly.
The new version 6.15 now lets you browse individual tracks within an album and adds a blurry album cover in the background. The former was previously impossible and you could only play an entire album and were forced to manually skip each track until you found the right one.

And while this change is more than welcome, Google had the weirder idea of replacing the default play button with the shuffle button when opening an album. Plus, when you tap on a specific song within the album, the next one in the queue is completely random. The app only plays a radio song. You take some, you lose some, it seems.
