I think it would be useful to make the currently-playing song highlighted/marked in some way in the list.  Looking down at the player small print is not intuitive and can be difficult.  If it was emphasized in the list someway, I could quickly tell what song is playing and what was before and what is next.  My context is the web player; I don't know if the presentation is any different with other Emby apps.

You could change the non-playing songs' opacity (not my favorite):

Transparent background color is nice:

Different text color is subtle but effective:

Border color change is okay, maybe combine with background color?:

Hi, what do you mean by highlighted song?

Sorry, maybe I poorly worded the first sentence.  I was saying highlight the current song; the current song that is playing, make it highligted.

Hi.  I think the standard "EQ" animation is a nice touch for this.  We already use it in the main audio player.  The Android TV app does this now.

Are you saying some client apps already are doing this, but it has not yet been implemented in the web player?

Yes, at least one so I think following that same pattern in the others is a good idea.

But I'm not using the queue screen  😜  I had to go search out the queue screen (never seen it before) to see what you mean - it shows an animated meter over the cover art.  Thanks for the info.

(and thanks for the excuse to listen me some Lynyrd Skynyrd!)
