Now playing navigation

[ericcdl]

I am sorry. I cannot search for this simple answer anymore.

When shuffling tracks, from the now playing screen: how do I navigate directly to the album? From the track that is playing now.

Sometimes shuffle reminds me of albums or artists to listen to.

In the Samsung player or Player Pro, I long click the song that is playing and it gives me the option to "go to album".

I am sure that i have done this with mm android
. But, I cannot find my answer now.

I don't recall seeing such a feature. It could be implemented in another icon, but the icon bar already has seven tools and on smaller screens it could be be filling up.

I had a thought about that Ringtone toolbutton -- could that be made into an option of Share? Is there a regular Android "set as ringtone" share target? If not, could MM set one up itself?

I am using a gn2. I went to landscape to see if I was missing an icon.The screen hiding an icon is not an issue. I just don't see how to navigate directly to the album of the song that is playing.

Maybe just need a feature request if it is not possible.

I didn't mean "could be an icon that you might have missed." I meant, "an icon could be added at sometime in the future."

Aha! I took it as an icon was not viewable because of screen size. That happens too. I well keep looking how to do it. Thanks.

I am pretty sure that feature was there. Maybe before the last update. It seems important to me. I bet it is there some where.

Find more from same (which would also be useful in this situation) has already been requested.

The only problem with 'find more from same' is ... wouldn't it show other albums, if available? It it shuffles to, say "Questions 67 & 68", track 4 of Chicago and I say to myself "self let's listen to this from the start of the album" there really isn't any easy way to get there. It would be great to say, along with shuffle and repeat (they hide themselves in portrait) add a "goto album-track" list. Then you could just tap the first track and off you go (remembering to turn off shuffle of course).

Find more from same Album would only find tracks on that Album.
