Report

The links on the bottom now-playing bar that go to the current album, artist and playing source are too small to be useful on mobile. If a user wants to navigate there they should use the full-screen Now Playing view.

Findings

  • Those links come from utils/explore-link.ts (names always navigate) and utils/queue-source-link.ts ("Playing from: X"). explore-link holds the navigation for one double-click interval and drops it if a second click arrives — a gesture that makes no sense on touch.
  • The same reasoning appears in the broader issue about moving inline text links into the context menu on mobile.

Direction

At phone widths, render the mini player's title/artist/source as plain text. Tapping the bar as a whole opens Now Playing, which is where the links live. Related: the transport-slimming issue.

Rendering the mini player title/artist/source as plain text below the phone breakpoint; the links stay on the full-screen Now Playing view.
