Need improvements of UI for Plexamp Carplay mode

Server Version#: 1.24.1.4931
Player Version#: 3.5.0

First of all, when in Carplay mode, I think it would be nice to have ‘repeat’ and ‘shuffle’ button on the screen.

Secondly, when I select an artist from my library, it would be more helpful if the album title is bigger. I think displaying artist name is no point because I know I select the artist.

Thirdly, I wish I could go to the album or the artist directly from the ‘Now Playing’.

we’ll try to add this in the future if CarPlay allows it.

So you mean just flip the two?

This should be possible in the future when we do a CarPlay upgrade.

Like this?

While you are on it…it would be a great idea to include ratings (thumbs up/down or heart), starting (track) radio, repeat in carplay.

Exactly. It’s more informative.
Thanks for your quick response!

I really love Plexamp. Combined with my PMS library, I can essentially duplicate SiriusXM station content for the music I like. And like those stations, artist live on multiple stations. It would be great if Plexamp would display the Playlist, Genre or Artist (radio) I selected to begin listening. I typically Shuffle one of my Smart Playlists. But I can forget which one I last selected. Would be nice for Plexamp to tell me like selecting a station on the ol’ radio.

Yes! Repeat and shuffle buttons on the now playing screen would be awesome! Spotify and others have them.

I just got back from a drive and came straight to the forums to mention this, and I positively agree with you.

We’re working on an overhaul.
