When you click on a radio link go directly to the station's full page Playback screen

Early Access EA Suggestions

When you currently click on a radio station link in a list of stations you are not taken to the station’s splash page which is what should occur.
Clicking on a station’s link should take you to and display the full page playback screen for that station, not just to start playing the station but highlight a little box at the top of the page with the list of stations. Also, after you click on the radio station lik you shouldn’t be taken to the equalizer icon. you should be taken to shazam screen or at least have the option in settings to be taken directly there.
I wrote about this two years ago.
Still waiting.

I’d like to clarify a few things.

  1. Do you mean that when you click on a radio channel, it should take you directly to the radio playback screen?

  2. If that’s what you’re talking about, it seems difficult for us to do so.
    It’s the same as not only radio channels but also other music streaming apps, where you have to click on the title at the top of the Rose device display to access the playback screen.

We understand that we can’t accommodate all of your requests.
Please understand that this is our internal decision.

Rosehan,

I see what you are saying. Yes, in answer to your No 1 that is what I meant. Assuming that it’s not easily done to go directly to the station/3rd party app can we at least have a setting which in effect adds a selection (simulated screen press) once the the title at the top of the Rose device is displayed? That would be easy to program and could be simply implemented. You would also probably have to add a one half second delay before the command is executed to allow for screen loading.
We’re halfway there already because the station will start playing music even though the title at the top of the Rose screen hasn’t been manually selected. Surely, since you have already programmed the music to start playing without selecting the title at the top of the Rose device display you can incorporate an additional command to display the radio playback/application screen.

Rosehan, thank you for your consideration of this request. This request is a part of my desire to allow the user to achieve the most desired results of actions with the fewest commands. In the case of radio stations, most users are trying to get to the station playback screen. In the case of applications, the user is trying to get to the application’s full screen, not an intermediate location which requires an additional step/screen press.

My goal is what I believe all good programmers should strive for:

1 The choices listed on a screen should be highlighted and prominent in the order of most selection. Eighty percent of the people will make one choice. That choice should the most prominently displayed on the screen.
2. The fewest number of selections should be required to get to what most (80%) of people want.
In keeping with those two “good programming” rules one click from a list of radio stations should get a user to the radio playback screen.

I will forward your request to our software team.
They will review it internally, and if it is feasible or deemed necessary, your request will be reflected in a future update.
