Would the update today be helpful? https://www.facebook.com/groups/nexplayground/posts/1595183384477409/
Now you can sort song by Genre, Recently Played, Release Date.

Belle Liu - It's still a bit slow to navigate through the entire list of songs linearly. I think it would be nice to see navigation set up similar to that of DDR, where there are folders or groups of songs. You will navigate through the folders, select one and it'll open a subfolder with all the songs in that folder. When you scroll through the end of the folder contents, you'll be able to see the other closed folders. Only one folder will remain open at a time so that the scrolling won't take too long to go from song to song, especially when more songs get added!
DDR selecting a song with the folders example: https://youtu.be/QXKAgyaZLeg
In this example, you can see the visual difference between a folder icon/title than a song icon/title. For Starri, the folder icons could have several borders stacked around it to indicate there is more content to see when you select it, or glow effect, etc. Just a way to visually show the difference between whether this icon is a song, or this icon is a group of songs.
Another example from a more recent version of DDR: https://youtu.be/e_74wzX-_Mo
More visually different and complex with the Category icons to select, followed by the folders that will appear from each category, and then songs. I'm not a fan of how this is all displayed, as it looks too busy and chaotic. However, I did like the concept of categories as a way to help navigate through folders and songs.
If Starri's navigational UI were to change, I'd suggest something more similar to that of the first option where there's the list of song titles that you can scroll through quickly, and the selected song will display the song title graphic or banner, and all the related song information that you want displayed.
