Artist menu button in Android Auto

Open qwertiger opened this issue 8 months ago • 0 comments

Dear developer of the app. I like your app very much and it has great features! But what I'm missing a little bit is the following feature:

"Artist" menu button within Android Auto (the "main" type of button which is used there as are e.g. "Songs" or "Playlist") It is implemented e.g. in the similar app: https://github.com/OuterTune/OuterTune

In OuterTune it works in a way, that while "Artist" menu is selected, the app will show the filtered list of the Artists and their tracks, which user liked.

It could be implemented also in a similar way as e.g. is in Spotify (where I know it works completely differently, but just to give you an "idea") That while the particular Artist from the "Artist" menu is selected, the app will play the biggest hits of that artist or mixed playlist which consists of (any) songs of the given Artist.

Alternatively it could be done in a way (maybe easier to implement I'm not sure) that while clicked on the "Artist" menu, it will list the artists, which user is "following" within the app. Then while particular Artist is selected, it will list songs of this Artist only.

It would be really great within this Artist menu to have also the "filter" of the Artists based on the starting Alphabet character (Like you have already implemented for e.g. "Home" or "Songs" menu)

This would be a really nice to have feature.

Thank you in advance for any response.
