Why do I only see a picture of a girl wearing headphones when I hit the music icon on my iphone 5

I can't see any of my music files, or albums and can't get past the above screen

Have you tried tapping "My Music" in the lower right corner of that screen?

There isn't any icon. The bottom half of the picture is black under the apple icon & Music

Here is the fix

Go to settings - music - sign out of itunes

Then go back to music and open it, you will see the pic of the girl again, wait 30 seconds and you will get 2 options

Option 1 - join 3 month trial
Option 2 - my music

Select my music and now you can listen to music

You can then go back to settings - music - sign into itunes

Then you will see under settings - music will be a new option, join apple music this is obviously the trial

Enjoy your music

Peace in Lord Jesus name
