You are correct, I actually went into the music app earlier and I could have sworn I could double tap artist, see a list of albums and then swipe down to delete one. But, as you said, all songs are now listed for an artist with albums just being headings and I agree that one should be able to delete an artist or an album all at once.

But now, at least on my iPhone 5, if I had Dire Straits as an artist, I would tap on it, and it would say album art for brothers in arms, with its songs listed, followed by album art for love over gold, with its songs listed. It no longer shows each individual album in its own folder, so that it can be deleted as an album. I can delete individual songs by swiping down to delete, but not an album as a whole. If I were to go to the more tab, select albums,and find either brothers in arms or love over gold, the situation would be the same.I can not swipe down to delete when focused on the album name, I only can delete individual songs within the album. Right now, I do not have an album that I wish to delete song by song until they are all deleted to see if the folder for it still would be there, or if it would disappear once all songs were deleted. I do not have show all music checked in settings. The restructuring of the music app is one of the few things I definitely do not like better in IOS 7. Overall, I think IOS 7 is much better.
