Plexamp Navigation Suggestion

Some of the navigation in Plexamp could be smarter.

There are probably several places to smarten up the nav, but I am going to start with one because I think it could inform how to approach making the interface and navigation more enjoyable to use.

So, I think it would be great if some of the deeper content (such as album song list info) was simply shown in-line instead of drilling down or opening like a folder. See my mock-up image.

What I would like is when I click on an album, it just shows the info right there in-line, and the albums below it are simply pushed down to the next row so I don’t have to ‘close’ the in-line box if I want to click on any other album while the in-line box is open. In addition, I would love to be able to then scroll the song list within the box.

I think this would make playing specific songs a easier, as well as making playlists much much faster to do.

Please consider doing this kind of thing throughout Plexamp to make navigation less arduous and more compelling!

So kind of like what you used to get in the days of iTunes 11 – opening individual album cards in the albums list without “drilling down” to another view?

Personally I consider that’ll get a bit crowded / densely packed on a mobile screen…
