Spotify Mini Player Concept

Status: Not right now
by smitholi ‎11-05-2012 12:56 PM - edited ‎11-05-2012 01:39 PM

I made this a few days ago while brushing up on my UI/Photoshop skills. I wasn't going to post it anywhere until a friend mentioned it might be of interest to other Spotify users. 

 

The idea came about, after I kept maximising and minimising Spotify just to see my play queue and sometimes jump down a few . This is my solution making it a less obtrusive way of seeing what's coming up and track jumping. 

 

I'm sure there are lots of limitations as to why this can't be made into a real working taskbar item, but any feedback is still much appreciated. 

 

The image is still awaiting approval so it might not be showing up for some. You can view it online here: http://forr.st/~UMb

Hello folks! Sorry for the delay on updating this idea...we have lots of them coming in every day..:(

We have discussed this with our Design Team, we have always loved this concept and we want to implement it. We know the mini player is being displayed in other services, we also will since it is a really great feature.

At the moment, we are going to mark it as "Not right now", check the thread out since we will come back to this in the future.

Thanks a lot for your feedback and contribution, you guys rock!

Make spacebar be play/pause in apps and radio

Pressing spacebar in an app scrolls the page (or does nothing). I know this behaviour comes from the fact that apps is built using web technogly and run in Chromium that's embed into Spotify desktop, but almost everywhere else in Spotify spacebar is play/pause.

 

Also: Make cmd+L (OS X) focus the search input in apps/radio (as it is in the rest of the app) (I know that option+cmd+F works for this in apps/radio)

When I close the Spotify window on Mac (using ctrl-w), it is cumbersome to reopen. First of all, your option-command-1 shortcut for opening the main window is not the standard, so I have to remember a specific shortcut for Spotify. Second, a lot of apps automatically reopen the window if I command-tab back to the application. I really wish Spotify would do this.
