No, this is how it works, and I agree with you, there should be someway of "drilling down" to see the numbers of a searched album. But.. if you know what song you are searching for, then just select "songs" instead of albums.

The only way of doing it now, is to "heart" the album, and find in under your collection to see songs. If you then don't like the album, do a search for it again, and the search result will show you the albums you have hearted as the first results in the search result.

But... I don't find this interface totally intuitive either, I guess it is difficult to make it simple yet complex at the same time.

A "user interface" would be a great idea, to personalize the moment.

I would add the optional possibility what kind of songs are shown in the collection menu. In my eyes the collection menu is quite confusing or inflated if you add big playlists e.g. 50s, 60s, 70s,.... or if you add "one hit wonders" to your favourite songs.

 

 

Hi,

I completely agree.

What misses me is to have the artwork of the album/song playing rather than a picture of the artist;

If such an option could be placed in a User Interface setting menu, it would be great.

Kind regards,

Thanks everyone for your input about timing out to Now Playing screen. The next beta release has implemented this at 60 seconds. Thanks for the ideas around settings too. We are listening. Our challenge as designer and developers is to get the mix right, we know that most people do not change settings, so the default behaviour needs to suit the majority. 

Speaking of settings. If you could prioritise just 1 thing to be controlled, or made optional by settings. What would it be?

the best option, from point of view, would be to start music (default) to a user defined multi room setup.......though thats a big ask....

with respect to smaller things, more functionality related, if the Now Playing screen is more central given the proposed update, a "repeat track" option would be great.....maybe the option can be seen when the track is tapped and the progress bar is invoked....

anyway, i'd reiterate my first point about multi room settings.....

First and foremost - I give a big thanks - especially around how playlists now keeps the track order which is a great improvement 😁 - I would love to be able to select what multiroom device it's playing on as you can do from the app. I basically use the Moment instead of having to go to the app so that would be great. 

completely agree.......as the new app becomes better and more overall functionality gets folded into it, i think the addition of proper multi room to the Moment is crucial to keeping it relevant.......it would be a shame if Moment owners just ended up using the app a lot more than the Moment itself.......

i would be so happy if i could do proper multi room, even, as suggested earlier, being able to tap the Moment to get music going with a setting of lounge  +  bedroom for example......

By adding the album name under the artist name and the album cover, or artist image if not available, the NP screen would have all the information we need to identify what's currently playing: The source (Deezer or local), the artist, the album, the visual, the track! what else ....

agree, album name under the artists would be very useful.....and would make a difference........personally, i don't mind the artists image, but can see how thats a bit subjective.......but album name, yes definitely......

Thank you for the ideas. An easy to use Expand screen for multi-room is a request we see growing in popularity. 

Regarding extra information on the Now Playing screen, are you able to say more about what the 'trigger' is that makes you want more information about what is currently playing? 

Are you triggered by music playing that makes you wonder, 'where do I know this song from?' and then you look over to the Moment and wished that it could show you this information from a distance?

Or perhaps you are wanting a bigger 'experience' out of the playing music, and you feel that the album art is part of this?

Or maybe you are thinking that showing all this information all the time is part of how most music apps are, so therefore it is missing here in order to be complete.

Or maybe you just want this information to be easily accessible when you are thinking about it.

The above are some of the things we have heard from others. It would be interesting and useful for us to hear more about what it is that triggers you to want more information, and how that fits into your music listening/browsing experience.

Cheers

Lyle, i think it is a bit of all of what you mentioned....

I'd reiterate that if the Now Playing screen become a bit more used / upfront etc as discussed yesterday ( an idea i like), then (a) the album that track comes from is really useful, and stops me running off elsewhere to look for the info....and that is generally shown in music apps (just looked at Tidal and Apple Music)........and (b) the album vs artist art i regard as less important, i quiet like the artist art to honest, but others may prefer the option to set the background to the album cover.......its a nice to have option, as opposed to fundamental, like displaying the album title alongside under the artists name in Now Playing....

I'd also say again, as others have, that while some playback functions are present compared to streaming apps, certain things are missing.......for me with respect to playback, a repeat track option should appear when the track is tapped and the progress bar appears......

Tidal has a useful three dots on their equivalent now playing screen.....it brings up a few useful options....some are covered by the Moment's gestures, but the "Go to Artist" and "Go to Album" i can see being a useful addition to the Moment's Now Playing screen........obviously, we don't want to compromise the Moment's simplicity, so i've kept my suggestions fairly minimal, for want of a better description........

more than happy to help.....
