A quick way to navigate to the song playing when in a large playlist

Status: No status given
0 Likes

Finding the song currently playing in a large playlist is like looking for a needle in a haystack if I scroll for any length of time within the playlist.

 

The only way to find my way back to the song currently playing is looking for the following;

- The small animation.

- The green title (which doesn't even meet WCAG 2.1 AA contrast requirements when next to the regular white titles anyway).

- The number of the song in the playlist prior to scrolling. (which isn't available on iOS anyway).

 

Clicking on the song title currently playing from the media player only takes me to the song in the context of the album it is from.

 

Ideas;

- If I'm forced to scroll to find the song playing, make the entire row Spotify green (which does meet WCAG 2.1 AA contrast requirements when next to Spotify black) so it stands out when scrolling.

- Add a button within the media player that takes me straight to the song playing in the context of the playlist it is playing in.

This has already been implemented for pc. Simply just click on the small picture next to the song name and the playlist will scroll to that song.

Do I think this should be explicitly stated in some sort of manual? Yes.
