Notification sounds are delayed

Emre Burhan 9 years ago updated 9 years ago 4
Hello,

Currently the notification sound is delayed for 2-3 seconds when skipping to the next track. If not looking at the screen, it's easy for user to think that the press was not registered. 

I believe the notification sound in this case notifies of starting to download data but it would be nice if if it is played as soon as the button is pressed for an immediate feedback to avoid confusion. This is especially important while driving or using a headset and not looking at the screen.

Thanks,

The notification sounds are triggered based on the returned playback state from the stream engine.

Skipping to the next track we have a set delay before we actually trigger to play it. We added this delay to be able to see the next station name before it is played. This is useful for car stereos for example. It kinda let's you surf the tracks without changing the station.

I will set this request as planned since I'm thinking to add an option to turn off or change the delay time.

Hope this answers your question. :)

Thanks for the answer. I understand the surfing the tracks scenario and also it would be great to be able to turn off the delay to avoid distraction (Did I miss the button?) especially while driving.

No button to disable the button. I will be adding one most likely. :)
