Proposal
I'm proposing to add the below features to the Vinyl Music Player for more user experience and improved app development.
Podcasts
Podcasts are Digital Multimedia files available on the Internet to download and then play in the media player, computer or mobile phone. This feature is similar to mp3, which can be downloaded at any time, most of the podcast interview or comment on what people did then upload those Podcasts can be heard for all people who want to hear. I propose that this feature “Podcasts” be added to Vinyl Music Player.Update Notification
Not all users have Google play store installed on their phone and not everyone gets notified about update on Google play store, so it will be of great help if Vinyl Music Player integrate the feature on their player, i mean notifying users when there is a new update for the application inside the application.
Mockups / Examples
Here are examples of how the discussed suggestion should look like.
- Podcasts
So, the podcast feature should look like these pictures
- Update Notification
Benefits
- Podcasts
The benefits of adding this feature will make the application more dynamic because the Podcast itself most times contain news or gossip about the hottest artist at this time in the form of video or audio, or both. So users can listen to the news not only from radio or television. The existence of this feature I thought it would make the application more special in the eyes of the user..
- Update Notification
Update notification is essential, giving users updates on the latest version of the music player so as to enjoy new developed programs and features. It gives immediate notification of new update.
