Yeah, it looks prettier(?) but.... – 8player Pro Review

I've been a long time user and reluctant fan of this app for several years now. I'll concede that I've strayed over that time, but I keep coming back. Hoping. I have a very large music collection (5k LPs-20k CDs, around 14TBs of digitized music total). First, I do appreciate the DLNA improvements and other similar enhancements, unfortunately those are not what's front and center for users. I'll just say it, the new interface is atrocious. - icons are way too large, at least for my tastes. Perhaps provide an option for S M L? - navigating MediaMonkey directories is painful, almost literally. You select server, then MediaMonkey (or other DLNA), then artist or location, or album, etc., then you go in again from there and so on... Now, the journey there is not bad at all, but getting back? Warm up your wrist and fingers. You have to swipe back once for each layer deep you went in. Cumbersome to say the least. - album/track selection interface suffers dramatically in that you are only presented with the cover art and title. Where's the artist? Album name? Option for detail view vs cover art? Why not provide options for displaying or hiding tagged metadata? This isn't as big of an issue when finding a song on an album, but from a playlist it's a complete nightmare. These are but a few of the frustrations with the interface. There are soooooo many new features that I've been hoping to see for years but instead you decide to focus on an interface update? I don't get it, unless the new interface is required for these elusive items on said wish list. perhaps?One can hope. I really do like this app and I love it's potential. Here's to hoping we live to see it one day.
