How can we improve we7?

Make it easier to see the band/album/track you're hearing

Sometimes we get a random track which is great and we'd like to hear more (or buy the album) but it's tricky to know the album details without squinting at the album artwork.

    Hi Phil,

    Thanks for the input. We are looking at different designs that would give more space to the current playing track. This would help with that. Of course, it means there is less space for the historic tracks. I would be interested to find out how many people think the same as you.

        @Old uncle silas - thanks for the input. We are looking at adding a "now playing" tab with more information about he current playing track and station. That should happen next month. We have played about with letting users scroll into the history of tracks. The problem is they get very confused about whats currently playing and lose track of where they are. We are looking at ways to solve this.

        You could have a tab for currently playing track, with the track details and links to purchase it perhaps. Or just have the details under 'Now Playing:...' next to the WE7 logo or somewhere else.
        Gareth - for historic tracks could you just make it possible to scroll along what has been played.

        If it's a question of space - what about adding the album to the mouse-over text on the track name?

        Or having a click-through from the album artwork to a (legit) download for purchase?
