Mid party, Mark asked if the party was public or private. I did not remember and could not check settings. If it's there, it's not obvious.
It would be fun to be able to create a "Station" that users can join, but that only the host is able to add songs. This would let a host share their music with a large group of users and not risk griefers spamming the party with unwanted tracks. *Bonus points if you can reassign station hosts.
Currently I can skip forward songs in a party but not back. If a song accidentally skips to the next one, I want to be able to go back.
Allow party hosts to promote an active use to be the party host. By default, promote the first active user in the session if the host leaves the party unexpectedly and revert when the initial host returns.
Nothing shows in the play queue but music is still playing on the transport controls. This should be consistent and stop music if nothing shows in the queue.
Expected behavior as a lay user would be that if I select to include my queue as the starting list for the party, for it to include only the current song onward, and not past played songs. I'd love for this to be the default or to have a toggle to include or exclude songs that have already finished playing.
To allow users to customize their experience, a user setting for Enabling/Disabling "AI Features" that would disable/hide any new features that actively call an AI/LLM service would be nice. This would benefit users who want a simpler experience or who have preference for non-AI services.
I’d love to see a customizable text-to-speech "Announce" button that reads song details aloud. Users could choose to hear announcements before a track begins ("Up next is [Title] by [Artist]"), after it ends ("That was [Title]"), or both. Furthermore, listeners could customize exactly what metadata the computer-generated voice reads, toggling options like title, artist, album, and release year. Not only is this a helpful accessibility feature for visually impaired users, but it’s also a highly practical tool for musicians and music lovers who want to learn song facts hands-free while listening.
Allow a toggled view that's just like the clock view, but instead of one 360 rotation reflecting 1 hr of play time, it reflects the total length of the playlist. Like a "zoom out", all tracks in the playlist are visible as small pie pieces in the clock face.
Minor bug, but if we want this to feel more realistic, it would be awesome to have the spinning player stop immediately or slow to a stop when the music is paused.
At first I thought they were stuck loading, but after about a minute results finally loaded. Regardless of whether I search something or leave the search bar blank, the Explore/Library pane in the left side shows a results loading animation for a very long time and delays my ability to pick music to add to the player.
All scroll bars are just showing as default styling and break the immersion of custom themes in the player when a grey rectangle scroll bar is shown. This can be fixed with more stylistic scroll bars that match theme colors and don't have a rectangle background.
As a user, I would like to be notified if I am adding a duplicate track to a playlist and confirm add or skip it.
This might be hard to explain, but the tone arm stylus/needle on a real record player is typically at the center of the head shell. So when starting a record, the head shell should be center-aligned with the edge/start of the record. Currently, the visualization is treating the plastic hanging bit (don't know the name) as if it's the record player needle and the result is the tone arm being closer to the center and looking as if it's in the middle of a song when it's actually just started.
Since we are now reporting feature requests and bug reports here, it would be helpful to attach screenshots.
Allow users to create, save, and share custom skins with the community. This will require backend work and a bucket to hold images.
The party function is great for attendees to add songs to, but it would be more practical for any in-person parties to just have the music on the host device so other party attendees don't have to mute their phones.
For uses who want the traditional view, this would be valuable and could replace the current album art popup that shows when the user taps on the art in the bottom left corner. Example from Apple Music: https://help.apple.com/assets/69F8EBBDF3B89A4F6E0C704C/69F8EBC43862495245036393/en_US/ecc6b5e1fcd60042aecc5d2127c9203e.png Key features: - Album art top center - Transport controls (Back/Rewind, Play/Pause, Next/Fast Forward) - Scrubbing control for the track - Song title / Artist name stacked - "Add/Like/Star" button to add the song to library - Illipsis button for track options - Additional feature buttons below transport controls.
I want to be able to click another active user and "Ask to listen" to their queue or "Ask to share" my queue. With only one click, plus maybe private/public, this configures and starts a party and pulls both users in.
Currently the clock interface has a "slide under" animation that lags ~1/8th of a rotation behind the clock hand. This doesn't make much sense and looks more like incomplete automation/animation. Instead, if as soon as a clock hand moves past the end of a song it begins a fade that's tied to the clock hand passing the next 15-30 seconds then it would more cleanly follow the clock hand as soon as it passes the end of a song and could make more sense to the user.
When ending any party, simply ask the user "Would you like to save party playlists to your library when a party finishes? Click Yes to enable this setting" with a "Don't show me this again" checkbox similar to many other setting popups. Otherwise, auto-created playlists could easily bloat a user's library before they're even aware it's a setting they can turn off.
This is something that's extremely valuable on Spotify and Apple to see what the most popular songs are. If Giddy includes the same major content, it would be nice to have a similar playlist to hit play on without having to build one.
I can't scroll past the 'a' artists in split pane view during the party. I have a vertical split view with the party on the left, and library on the right.
