Blank view in music player

[jesmrec]

While the music is reproduced, something should be shown to replace the white background: artwork, cover, a placeholder image...

I need yet another decisions

1 #cccccc	2 @color/gray	3 @color/primary	4: Gone wild (additional dev time required)

I love the 4th one! 🚀

Ok I made this. It is 4. But without the overlay and the shadow gradient behind:

[theScrabi]

Ok here the design with primary color:
