Everyone I know has Music high in there battery usage. I don't have bad battery life, I have a 6, ipad mini and air 2 and all of them have Music high on the battery usage list but I don't stream on any of those devices so it's nothing to do with cell or wifi. Like the screen I gave an hour phone call and a few hours of standby only took 3% in a bad signal area so I'm good with the battery today, yesterday Music was high on the list for no reason. I turned it off and its not there so its obvious you have to turn it off or its running in the background even if you don't use it. Before Apple Music this app was never high on the list.
