Pain

I have Android 11 and the icons take up half the space in the list rows, it makes the lists almost unusable.

Changing the accessibility font size setting changes the font size, but not the spacing in any way.

Suggested Solution

On this view, I mostly only want to know the image, Title/subline text and maybe the add to playlist (plus) icon.

Suggestion

• remove the Favorite icon (heart), Offline songs icon (.:!), so those could be omitted as they are on the main player view...
• Append the duration time (1:23) to the title or subline instead of a separate column in the row.

Alternative suggestion

• Append the duration time (1:23) to the title or subline instead of a separate column in the row.
• Move all the action icons (favorite, offline, add to playlist) to a single icon (vertical dots : maybe?) that will open a menu (lightboxed similar to add a playlist dialog) on tap

Oh well, that really does look bad. However, I'm not sure about removing the action buttons, as I wanted to make it easier for people to add songs to playlists. For example, if someone wants to add 10–15 songs from one playlist to their liked songs or custom playlists, they would need to play each song, open the full playing page, and like them one by one. That would be pretty inconvenient.

I'll think about what can be done about this.

Thaks for your quick reply!

I get this for sure. In my situation though, if I search, I may not know the songs that come up in the result, and often need to listen to part of the song to decide if I want to add it to a playlist.

Another option for handling this is to move the butons underneath the test. This would make the rows (cards) taller and larger but afford more space for the text.

My temporary solution was to move duration on the artwork image, reduce the spaces between the buttons, and regulate the sizes of the title and artist text. I think it’s a bit better now, but I’ll keep thinking about it. If you come across a better version or find any designs I could take inspiration from, feel free to share them.
