Player & queue

The persistent music bar at the bottom of the app. Transport controls, progress, volume, a dockable/floating mode, and a queue panel listing everything lined up. Each queue row and the track currently playing carry a single "…" actions menu (go to track, comment at the current playhead, jump to any version-card tab, copy link, share, download, all versions, remove from queue) so track actions are reachable without leaving the page you're on. In the bar that menu also holds the player's own options (float/dock, minimize), so there is only ever one "…" button.

What it is

Once you press play anywhere in Aden, a player bar sticks to the bottom of the screen and follows you around the app. It shows the artwork, title and artists of what's playing, transport controls (previous / play-pause / next), the progress bar, volume, and a queue button with a badge counting the tracks lined up.

Waveform scrubber

Waveform scrubber in the player's "…" menu swaps the bar's progress slider for the playing track's waveform. The same one its track page shows. Drag or click it to seek, exactly like the slider. It's off by default because the waveform is an extra load per track, the setting is remembered on this device, and tracks whose waveform hasn't been generated keep the slider.

The bar can be docked (default) or floating: a small draggable, resizable card you can park anywhere on screen, and it can be minimized out of the way and restored later.

The queue

Click the queue button to slide open the queue panel. Each row shows the track's cover, title, artists and collaborators, and its duration; the track playing right now is highlighted. From a row you can:

Play it: click the cover, the title, or the row's play button to jump straight to that track.
Remove it: the ✕ on hover takes it out of the queue.
Everything else: the "…" menu next to the ✕.

Clear at the top of the panel empties the queue and stops playback.

Files in the queue

Loose files play here too. Press play on an audio file in a transfer (or on a public transfer link) and it joins the queue like a track, so it keeps playing while you move around and the bar pauses, scrubs and skips it. A file has no track page, so its row links back to the transfer it came from and skips the track-only actions (comments, versions, share).

Track actions from the player

The "…" menu appears on every queue row on hover (or keyboard focus) and, for whatever is playing right now, in the bar itself, so you can comment on, share or download the track you're listening to without navigating to its page first.

The menu offers:

Go to track: opens the track's page.
Comment at 1:23: jumps to the track's version card with the comment box already open and the timestamp of wherever the playhead is filled in, ready to type. For a track that isn't the one currently playing it reads Add a comment and leaves the timestamp empty.
Open version: a submenu with every tab of the version card: Description, Tasks, Comments, Activity, Lyrics, Shares, and Files & extra. Picking one opens the versions page with that card already on that tab.
Copy link: copies the track's link to your clipboard.
Share track: opens the usual share dialog (available when the track belongs to a team with a public profile).
Download: downloads the exact version that's queued (the one you're hearing), not some other version of the track.
All versions & downloads: opens the track's versions page.
Remove from queue: queue rows only.

In the player bar the same menu also carries the player's own options Waveform scrubber, Float player / Dock player and Minimize: so the bar shows one "…" button instead of two identical ones.

When you're listening from a public share link rather than inside the app, the menu only shows the actions that work without an account: Copy link and Download (when the share allows downloads).
