Description
Created attachment 322235 Search results images
Right now, when a user searches for something, Music displays the results in 3 categories: Albums, Artists and Songs. Also, Music displays a thumbnail for each result within these categories which the following logic:
- Album result -> album cover
- Artist result -> random artist album cover
- Song result -> fallback/default album cover
To make things clearer, I've attached an image describing these behaviors.
There is no problem regarding Album results, but I'm not sure if Song and Artist results display an appropriate thumbnail.
Maybe in Song result Music should display the album cover from where the song belongs to.
But in Artist result, it is not clear for me what should be done. My first opinion is to display the artist image (but, until now, Music does not do it in any place). Another idea is to show the first letter from the artist name, just as Google does for anyone without an avatar.
What do you think?
