iPhone iOS 7 Music App Concept

Very good effort and I applaud you for being original, but I think it looks pretty poor. It adds more unnecessary scrolling, looks cluttered and is generally unattractive. Don't take it personally, I just don't think it looks aesthetically pleasing.
The now playing screen is more likely to become flatter (deForstalled and Ive-ified), not more reflective. Taking cues from the updated iTunes mini-player, I would expect something like this:
![]()
Personally, I don't think iOS will be completely flat. I think Apple will go with a subtle gradients approach (by "I think", I mean: I hope). Anyhow, here's my concept:
• Swipe right or left on the album artwork to go to the previous or next song, respectably.
• Just as you can now, you can scrub a song by moving the progress slider. However, now, if you tap the handle thing it'll play/pause the song (you can also pause the song by tapping the album artwork).
• The color of the progress bar is dynamic and would be based on the album artwork.
• Apple's NextUp feature: You can rearrange songs (second screenshot), add songs, delete songs, and view previously played songs.
• Since pretty much all recent iOS devices have dedicated volume buttons, I chose to hide the volume slider. No worries though, a simple tap on the speaker icon will pop it up.
• I suppose a double tap on the album artwork could bring up the songs of any individual album.

better than the current music app but i wont say it's extraordinary. i hope apple comes out with a great app.
Nice
! would love to see something like that in iOS7. please change your music app, apple.
I think this is pretty much spot on if they redesign the now playing screen.

I like this, but I don't think Apple would go with something like this. But cool design nonetheless.

There are some things in this design that I could DEF see in an actual apple application. Love the dynamic color changing status bar. That seems to go in line with the iTunes 11 color changing background to match album artwork. I think that would look VERY slick on an iPhone!
Nice job!
Wow there have been some great ideas in this thread but this is truely one of them. Probably the most unique and inventive! Love it!
And with Apple's reports of Ive making iOS 7 'black and white with flat all over' such an idea may just happen
Love it! Hey all, in my spare time thought i'd make a concept for what I think would make a cool iOS 7 music player app. Made it in Keynote, not something I've really done before but I think it turned out okay overall. It's quite short (ran out of time) but tell me what you think!

An interface much like iTunes 11 on the mac and similar to the iPad interface.

No horrible black bars, with gesture controls such as downwards swipe to see the music in an album, giving you the functionality of previous OS'es.
Alexandra Burke AND Amerie? Holy hell, GREAT taste in music!!
