Two requests regarding the Expanded Now Playing Screen

Feature requests
1

Feature description:

  1. Add ability to move lyrics button to the bottom row
  2. Add ability to hide the Speed modification

Problem solved:

  1. Makes it so that the album artwork is unobstructed
  2. Cleans up the UI for users who don’t use the Speed function

Brought benefits:

In both cases it expands customization of the UI.

Other application solutions:

 
Apple Music puts the lyrics button near the bottom of the screen as well.
 

Additional description and context:

 
Regarding the screenshot mockup, I feel it would be better to have the lyrics button on the left side instead of the right.

Agreed on both. I never use the speed modifier, and I don’t like having any buttons inside the cover art.

There’s a similar issue for the grid view in the playlists tab. every playlist entry has the annoying 3-dot menu icon inside the picture which makes it look messy. I think it could be moved down to where the title is (though I won’t start a separate thread for this as it’s minor).

I agree with optionally moving the lyrics button away from the album art. I would prefer it to be unobstructed.
