Swap to new expression

I imagine you have this planned, but in the event you don’t, it would be a cool feature to have expressions cycle to the next one when in full screen mode. As of now, when I have an expression playing in full screen, and it starts the next expression, the pane doesn’t change to the new songs album art / color / gif. Instead, I have to tap the bar at the bottom to see what that one looks like. It would be awesome to have swipe gestures in full-screen viewing mode to easily swipe between expressions / have it auto-cycle when playing.

The playback queue now swipes between tracks in v1.2.0! Enter any track from your queue and you'll be able to move left/right, or simply wait for a track to end to see the next one.

We're working on designs for this! Thanks for adding the detailed explanation.

MacEagon Voyce brought up a version of this as well, where the Feed is reacting to what's playing. Spoke with our team and they mentioned the logic for this might be extremely complex - i.e. what happens when you're under the next track in the queue, on a different page, etc. Will it behave in really unpredictable ways depending on where users are in relation to the post that the queue will jump back to?
What do you guys think would be a simple, elegant way to make something cool like this happen? Would it be a totally different discovery type screen, so users are intentional about it happening? Or some clever way of retooling the Feed? Curious to get ideas on this one.

Arthur (Grey Matter): My thoughts are, whatever feed you're on (the main feed, a user's profile, a playlist, etc.), it just plays down the list one after another in the order that those things appear. If you navigate to another page, it still plays from the feed you started playback on. So you'd just need to keep track of that feed and the songs that are on it while the user is navigating. I just think it would be nice that when you have an expression at full screen, that it just changes to the next expression in line instead of having to tap the bar at the bottom to view the color / gif of the song that is playing.
From a logic standpoint, what I wrote above sounds relatively simple to me. Granted, I don't build applications, so I could be wrong.
