Amazing iOS 7 "Music App" Concept

The designer also gives great information on what he thinks the overall design in iOS 7 should look like. I found this earlier today and just had to share it, and I believe it's front page worthy!

A really good write-up! I love his idea for the album view.

I thought 'Dashboard Mode' was ingenious, and bringing Apple's 'Up Next' to the iOS Music app would be a no brainer.

I agree with the timline idea; would be good for how I listen to music (usually big mixes of stuff on shuffle&repeat).

That said, the album-cover navigation could be a problem. In practice, there's bound to be lots of missing/hard to identify artwork.

The biggest change the Music app needs isn't visual, though - it's in the workflow. It needs a way for you to be able to select a bunch of songs and chuck them in to the play queue. The current Music app is awful for that. This concept involves adding tracks to the queue from anywhere, which is nice. It'd be good if there was also a way to add whole albums/artists (say by tapping and holding, or holding and dragging it up to the queue icon).

This is a really nice concept, though. Great visual design.

I agree too, and I think implementing "Up Next" in the music app should take care of this issue mostly, although I know you can create playlists on the iPhone and iPod touch by tapping the Playlists tab on the bottom left, and then 'Add Playlist' just below Genius Playlist at the top of the list. On the iPad tap the 'Add' button (which has a plus sign) on the bottom left. In either case name your playlist, then use the Add button to add the songs you want. You can use the tabs -- Songs, Artists, Albums, Genres, Composers -- to navigate your library, and the Add All Songs or Albums option at the top of the lists you'll likely see. (If you've already navigated down a list, scroll down to see the Add All option if it's available.) When you've added all you want, use the Done button on the top left. It should be much improved if this concept is anything like the real thing though!

Do you have any plans for an iPad music App?
Also the video's app is in need of a change
Great concept though, the only problem is now if or when the new music app is released, its not going to look like this, and that's bad.
Are you an App developer by chance?
This would be a great cydia app.

You'd have to speak with the designer of this concept over at Dribble here. I'm only sharing his information like I stated in the original post. I agree with your points though too! I'm an app developer as well but I have no plans distributing anything through Cydia at the moment. If you're anxious to see this app go live as much as I am, check out the original designer's blog here and maybe leave a comment, or get in touch with him on Dribble and Twitter.
