Quote:philrandalA couple of UI issues.
After clicking on the playing radio station logo in the player panel at the bottom of the screen, up pops the familiar playback screen.
At the very top left of the screen, there's a very small very dim grey search button, to all intents invisible, as is the bar (top middle, can't see it to tell what it is).
This needs a fix to make them visible.
Android 9 phone, tested in Chrome and Firefox.
Second one, there's a save playlist option in the menu on that screen. A load playlist option would be extremely useful as well.
I still can't get my head around the new UI. Needs a 'home' button on every screen to take you back to the 'now playing' plus playlist screen.
The search field text color is a bit dimmer compared to regular text (or actual text entered in the field) but that’s intentional as it’s just an indicator the field exists rather than something you really want your eye drawn to, or that needs to be read while looking at the screen. The bar is a button you can press (along with the cover art) to minimize the playback screen. It used to be a chevron but then it wasn’t.
Access to your music happens in the different view tabs, playlists are currently located in the folder view because that’s where they’ve historically been. The reason for save playlist in the context menu was that people with very long playlists had to scroll all the way to the bottom to access the playlist control buttons.
The primary role of moode (or any music software) is to give you easy access to the music you want to hear. We moved to the playbar model which centers the experience around your music collection while putting many functions of the traditional playback screen in a compact form on every screen. You can maximize playback to full screen/window and it will look like moode 4.x (minus the tabs which are no longer relevant) but you no longer need to for simple playback functions.
The disappearing playlist... You access the playlist in mobile portrait mode by scrolling up, tapping any list item will start playing that item and scroll back to the top and “hide” it. There are a few benefits to this: it gives us more room for the buttons so they have bigger hit targets, let’s us position the buttons on the screen so they’re easier to hit while operating the phone with one hand, and helps prevent inadvertently switching tracks to the first few items from stray touches. If you rotate the screen to landscape you’ll get the more traditional moode desktop/tablet landscape view, however most smart phones are tall and skinny and not really suited for that format.
