Hi Arnold, OK, Alex who works for me and also has an iPhone had a look today and he could also not figure out a way to delete an entire album. I think it is definitely silly that one has to delete songs one at a time. I manage my music via iTunes so I don't really care since I could easily just connect my phone to iTunes, uncheck a few artists, do a sync and that music would be gone. However, Apple is promoting iTunes Match and the fact you don't have to connect you r phone to a computer if you don't want to, but they are not providing an easy to delete a bunch of music quickly if somebody maybe wants to do that in order to download different music from their iTunes Match account.

What I wonder is if deleting an album as a whole still can be done by manipulating this album art graphic in some way, but it can not be done with VoiceOver? I know you have access to sighted help more often than some of us, so you might check on this.
