Android Mobile - Please, improve the "now playing" music screen

seriamente bom também ter a opção das cinco músicas mais identificadas do cantor como em plex

The new PlexAmp app created only for music shows the frequency and file type on the "now playing" screen (see below screenshot), something I'm dying to see on Emby app, I hope it doesn't get behind with this useful information...

Thanks for the feedback.

Let's forget all the crazy mockups I suggested in previous comments of this topic  and instead, let's use the current "Now Playing" screen which is the best it can be, but there is still one little thing missing:

To move the song information a little bit to the space above:

In the space left below, to place whether if the song is being played directly:

Or if it's being transcoded, the same way as shown on the server:

I know that you don't like the app to display that, therefore, you may add an option in settings to show/hide it.

Thank you for your attention.

Why did you remove the album name? 

 

Something I like is the "Stats for nerds" option inside the cog icon:

BUT, why not putting it below the album information?, it looks like "out of place" at the top left where it currently appears:

Stats for nerds was built for video and has only recently been made available for audio, but we haven't really spent any time on it yet.

I'm sorry to insist so much on this but what is the purpose of showing the file type when the album name and the file info is more useful?, this is on latest stable:

Thank you for adding the album name again...

This "now playing" screen is beautiful  but that "FLAC" word ... I still dream of being replaced with a "Directplay" and "transcoded to AAC 500Kbps" info instead...
