You can switch to Downloads, Uploads, and Device files from the top-left corner. When you tap a song from this view, radio playback will immediately start. The redesign also lets you easily create new playlists via a floating button in the bottom right corner.

Next up are chips for Playlists, Songs, Albums, and Artists. The first two have pill-shaped FABs (floating action buttons) for the New playlist and Shuffle all, respectively. Meanwhile, Artists lets you filter and see Subscriptions.

Lastly, you can filter the main list by Recent activity, Recently added, or Recently played.
