It would be nice to have an icon or something that indicates which track is currently playing, so for example when you are playing an album and go back to the album screen you can see easily which track is playing.

I think this kind of indicator exists in all the players I have ever used except in Plexamp.

I attach a screenshot with an example of the indicator in Apple Music app:

But the name of the song is showing. What purpose does the indicator serve other than aesthetic?

Yes the name of the trck is showing but its nice to know WHERE in the album section you are at.  
If you go to the album view it should show the “now playing” indicator as does on most players in the world.

Simple little mark is all.
