Improve indicator that shows what song is playing

daleslad — Sun, 20 Jun 2021 12:44:19 GMT

I find that the link "Now Playing" doesn't really help me that much. Sure it will direct you to the active Playlist but if you have a large number of songs it's not that much help. I find that I end up scrolling up and down without seeing the little wavy lines that indicate the song is playing. My eyes aren't that good any more so I find I can miss seeing those lines and scroll right on past. Maybe one of your teckkies could write a line of code and help pin point the active song. They could even do it from home lol.

Thanks

Thanks for following up, @daleslad.

When listening to a long playlist (such as your Listening vocal playlist for example), you can find what track is currently playing on the right side of the screen:

This being said, I believe you are looking for a better indicator of what track is currently playing within the list of tracks itself as well (other than the sequence of moving lines).

If that is the case, I recommend creating a feature request for your suggestion here.

In the meantime, you can always find what track is currently playing by clicking on the Now Playing tab, and then looking on the right side of the screen.

Hope this helps!

Hi Adam, Yes I know how to find out what song is playing like you describes but that isn't my problem. I want to be able to find that song in the actual playlist. Because we don't have any sorting features available to us I have to manually move songs around in my playlist to balance it out. To do that I have to actually click on that song in my list and drag it to a more favourable place in the list.

So I really require a more accurate way to pin point the actual song in a list other than just trying to find the squiggly indicator lines next to the song.

Thanks for following up, @daleslad.

It looks like you've already submitted a feature request for this in the past: Make the little flashing indicator that shows which song is playing easier to see
