Feature description:
Add a “now playing” icon or indicator to the currently playing song or album playing.
Problem solved:
When I’m listening to an album I have to search a bit for the title of the song I’m currently listening to to see how far I am into the album.
Brought benefits:
It helps with seeing immediate feedback when selecting a song, as well as being able to easily identify where the song is in the album when playing back a random playlist.
Other application solutions:
Apps such as Spotify use a small animation to indicate which song is currently selected and is playing.
Additional description and context:
I don’t think I sold the idea very well but it’s a little feature that I see in most other music playing apps that I feel is missing.
My idea is that when you select a song, the title changes to the global accent color, and a small icon indicating that this song is selected and is playing appears, maybe a speaker or something. Additionally, there could also be an indicator on the album the currently playing song is in, such as an icon over the artwork or next to the title.
