Hi Dan,
I hope I didn't miss this answer somewhere in this thread. Will there be a way to search directly from the main phone screen or the main android search bar?
I loved the ability to do this with Remix. My main usage would be to randomly pick a track, then search for other songs and queue them up as I got inspired.
Either way, I'm really psyched!
Nb
Yes, you can search directly from Google search for songs, albums, and artists. Tapping on a song will play the song. Tapping on an album or artist will bring you to that screen.
On the album screen you have a list of songs in the album. Tap the ellipsis (...) next to a song to get a full array of options including "queue song". You can also swipe the list of songs to reveal a wiki page of the album.
On the artist screen you have a list of songs for the artist. Swipe to the left to get the list of albums. Swipe again to get the artist's wiki page. And just like every other screen in the app, you can tap the ellipsis (...) next to an item to get a bunch of options to act on that item. For instance, for songs you get the following options:
- Queue song
- Add to playlist
- Add to faves
- Lyrics & Karaoke
- View album (not available if you're already browsing the album)
- View artist (not available if you're already browsing the artist)
- View bookmarks
- Download album art
- Find song on YouTube
- Find remixes on YouTube
- Find artist on YouTube
- View/Edit music tags (I haven't implemented this one yet)
- Delete file
