[Apple Watch] Get album art on long press

[Lyro1]

Hi!

As a long time Spotify user, I love controlling music with my Apple Watch. But I would love so much to be able to see album arts on my watch screen.

My idea is that, by default, we get the classic music controls, and if we long-press this screen, we get a fullscreen album art view. As long as we don't long-press again, the album art gets updated while music is playing, switching from a cover to another. And we switch between controls and covers with the long-press gesture, which is totally useless right now.

I know this may not be a major feature, but I would find it so cool.

Your idea of incorporating full-screen album art through a long-press gesture on the Apple Watch during music playback sounds both intuitive and visually enriching. Integrating a feature that allows users to seamlessly transition between music controls and immersive album art viewing would undoubtedly enhance the overall user experience, adding a touch of aesthetic appeal to the music-listening journey on the watch interface. Implementing this feature could offer users a delightful and engaging way to interact with their music library, elevating the usability and enjoyment of Spotify on the Apple Watch.
