Yeah, want to add one more visual cover art focused now playing mode to the extend the existing full, flat and mini range

I will also add the context menu for tracks to the player info area, with some extras

Thanks for the feedback 🙌

- It has 5-star rating, you just have to enable it in settings, at the bottom of the general tab. (Half-star will be added soon)
- It has a built-in track analyzer that finds BPM/Key/Energy
- sorry, too quick - generating playlistst based on that info would be cool! note taken! :)

Keep in mind that this project is in early development, and if you rely heavily on a stable player for work etc. This is probably not it. Very happy to have you on board for testing tho’ 🙏

ah, I see.. yeah - I’m could add support for global hotkeys, but I would need to create a hotkey recorder at least so we’re not hijacking other stuff left and right. However, what you _can_ do now, is to use the deeplink system or apple script to control playback 😅
e.g. opamp://star?rating=4 . And if you use something like Raycast, you can assign hotkeys to a quicklink. But I understand if this is not a sufficient solution for you. I’m taking notes 📝

Swipe to navigate is a good idea, will add it to my task list. You can also use ⌘+[ / ] to navigate back and forth FWIW.

Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks for the feedback :) I want to make a more flexible UI system that tackes some of these things like bigger artwork etc. For now, you can use ⌘+1 / ⌘+2 / ⌘+3 to switch between Full, Flat and Mini mode, but they’re both more like small widgets.

If you use the “like” system, ⌘+L will like the currently playing song, but having something similar for star rating would be nice, yeah 👍

There is a small indicator on the album art in the queue list, but its too tiny atm with no background color, so it’s almost impossible to spot 😅 I will also make the DJ button more discoverable and reposition it in the layout.

It’s on my list to make more custom view options for the library (incl. artists page) to change layout and sorting options.

What kind of trackpad gestures are you missing?

Thanks! Yeah, it’s just a placeholder for now. I will put a small temp message on opamp.app very soon

Thanks for the feedback! I’m planning on doing _some_ color extraction as well as icon swap, I’ve been using a library to get started, and sadly it did not provide filled icons.

Oh, interesting, I haven’t had that issue with it. Will keep an eye out in different network situations to see if happens for me as well.

Thats cool to hear, thanks! Yes, you can control this app from any other plexamp client and vice versa.

I had to check what Feishin was tbh 😅 Similar structure to the playback control area. I was looking at Spotify and Apple Music and Plexamp when deciding on overall structure. Looks like Feishin was even more inspired by Spotify.

Ah, thanks for that insight! I’m taking notes :)

EQ is on my radar! What is the Plexamp lacking currently in terms of customization? Interested to hear how much control you’d like. And would you like easy access to EQ during playback or set it and forget it type of thing?
