Music Player: Daily UI Challenge Day 9

UI Explorations for a music player on a conceptual music app could look like.

For this Daily UI challenge, the goal was to design a clean and intuitive music player. I chose to expand beyond the main player screen by exploring two additional interfaces: the lock screen player and a "Discover" page, showcasing how users might interact with the player in different contexts.

Throughout the ideation of these screens, I took several UX needs into consideration. The most basic functions of a music player include being able to:

1. pause/play a song

2. go back to the previous song

3. skip a song

4. play music on shuffle

5. repeat a song

6. like / favorite the current song

In doing so, I nailed down the core functionality of the music player. Some features were condensed on the lock screen UI and "Discover" page's player tab. On the "Discover" page, I included several genres for the user to explore and expand their tastes, and a critical search feature that gives the user agency in finding music.
