Desktop: Redesign Seek Bar

Turbosol — Sun, 30 Oct 2022 14:33:30 GMT

I'm loving pandora so far but the desktop player has a seek bar that is like 3 pixels tall and when you are seeking through tracks you accidently hit the play/pause and repeat buttons all the time, or hit the colored area that takes you to that album page, it's very annoying! It just needs a simple redesign so the seek bar is separated more from the other things. Other than that, it's great.

mod edit: changed title for clarity

I agree, please take away that bottom bar, I can't scroll down... so frustrating

I cant tell if my Pandora is just not working or if the seek bar is so small, I am unable to get it with my mouse on a 4k monitor. I like to be able to move around in song if I hear a particularly interesting thing. This is kind of a deal-breaker for me. Also, I cant create a new playlist on the desktop app but on the android app I can. I listen to a lot of music while working and I dont want to have to use my phone for everything. Please fix this.

Wow, so they still haven't changed it after a year? Geez, I'm glad I went back to spotify!

It seems to be working now. I think it was a problem with not setting my account to paid/plus for a few hours. I had a free account many years ago but we just created a family account. If you are seeing this maybe be more patient than I am haha.

I can't believe this topic isn't discussed more. Using the hideaway option for the navigation buttons on my Android makes the progress bar at the bottom of the app completely unusable. Does it really need to be at the VERY bottom of the app?
