Ability to hide compact player

Feature description:

This would allow one to browse the library without sacrificing screen real estate for the miniplayer while playing, which would be especially useful on a small screen.

I did try to make the compact player smaller by e.g. increasing the margin but it could still be distracting. Sometimes I also find myself touching it by mistake.

While hidden a “now playing” tab could possibly be added that allows one to jump to the full player directly.

Coming from Musicolet I find the proposed setup more optimal and minimalistic in style.

Problem solved:

  • less distraction
  • fewer mis-touches

Brought benefits:

  • more screen real estate
  • direct access to “now playing”

Other application solutions:

 
Musicolet doesn’t use compact player.
