Components
Oreo music player is a very good music player. Lately i started using the music player more often, then I noticed that there is a technical omission which I think the developer should integrate into the application as soon as possible.
Proposal
There are two suggestions i am going to make, the first one is a critical one, which should be given an immediate and fast attention, and the second suggestion is just an added luxury to the music player:
Indication that song is on single repeat: Presently in this music player, the developer failed to integrate any type of notification to differentiate when the music player is on "single repeat" or "repeat all". I have a feeling that it was an omission from the developer, and I think he/she should immediately integrate this into it.
Set as ringtone option: I think this application can be more useful to the users if they are provided with an option to set a particular song as ringtone. This suggestion is not a critical one, but just an added luxury to improve the application for its users.
Mockups / Examples
Indication that song is on single repeat: Just like we might have in many music players today, the developer can integrate this suggestion, maybe to be like this:
Set as ringtone: The option for users to make the selected song their ringtone can be integrated thus:
Benefits
Integrating the feature that indicates to users that the current song is on single repeat will make users to be more aware of what is going on with the music player. There won't be the frustration and disappointment that when you are expecting the current song to repeat, it won't repeat, because you don't know if the song is on single repeat, or repeat all.
Also, the option for "set as ringtone" will make this music player to be more useful and handy to the users. The users won't need to go all the way to phone settings to choose ringtone. They can easily set it using "Oreo Music Player".
