principles:
Show'n'Hide
Show needed, hide unneeded. Don't hide 'sometimes needed' too deep.
I always need to see:
- now playing artist and title
Sometimes I really need to:
- see the list of playlists
- see the waveform to jump to specific moment
- switch on 'repeat one track'
- check the bitrate or sample rate
I need about once per player's lifetime:
- setup the equalizer
Ninja Style
Appear silently, do the job
insensibly, disappear immediately.
I prefer when music player doesn't:
- ask for registration before start
- ask to setup it first before using
- push me to buy a premium version
- make me name the newly created playlist
- ask to save the newly created playlist
- autoscroll long lines of text (running line)
- ask for confirmation before quit
Balanced functionality
Do what I expect to be done, don't do what I don't need at all.
I never use:
- shuffle
- 'no repeat' function
- visualization
- cover art
