Long-time user and premium subscriber of hi-fi cast here and I still use it regularly.

One thing keeps cropping up time and again though, so hopefully a change to the UI might be considered.

The "Playback Devices" option in the left-hand sidebar...  I often select a streaming device in the house from this area, then when I get in the car and wish to change the playback device to the car, I have to back-out of the album I'm listening to in order to reach this menu again.

Would it be possible to include a "Cast" icon in the playback window so we can select/deselect the streaming/playback devices on the fly?

Many thanks in advance.

Hi,

Tapping 'Playing to <device name>' at the bottom of the screen will take you directly to the playback devices selector. When you select a device you should end up back in the album you have navigated to. You can also access the menus by swiping from the left (without having to back-out of the album that you are in).

I hope that helps :)

Awesome!  Thanks so much for taking the time to reply.

Both of those ideas are a game-changer and I'll test them out in 'live fire' a bit later.

Can't believe I've been battling with this one for some time and the answer was there all along!

Thanks again!
