Xbox Music needs to be more graphical

[sirgrant618]

And by that I mean employ more of what made Zune great: animations and visual finesse. I made a quick concept of what this could look like for playlists on the web (and the Windows apps as well, by extension): http://i.imgur.com/cmsxKj8.jpg

The album artwork would slowly scroll in the background behind the text.

I know this has been talked about to death, so sorry about that.

Yeah. The artist background should be there even when musics stops. Maybe a random one, or maybe a slideshow of the most recent ones.

Also the tile. It looks amazing when music is being played, but gets really dull when it's stopped.

XBM is a lot better than when Win8 launched but it's still pretty shocking (XBV is terrible as well). I just don't find the interface touch friendly enough, the play/pause/next/etc button are to small on my Surface tablet. If you take a look at Groove in the marketplace it's a much more touch friendly interface.
