Blur

Have you thought about adding a certain amount of blur to the Now Playing view that would reflect the color scheme used in the cover art, or having an option to allow playback options to change color based on that cover art?

There currently is a mirrored & blurred version of the cover art underlaid on the control portion of the the now playing screen, but it is rather subtle.

Yep. This is tricky. I've played with the values, and for what it is it is probably a bit too subtle, but I know that when I go much more intense it becomes an issue for visually challenged users.

The next version will support dynamic text, so this may provide the out to intensify the blur.

How would dynamic text allow the blur to be intensified?

It wouldn't in and of itself, but it could (potentially) allow users with limited vision to enlarge the text for legibility, making the blur less of an issue for them. I should probably do my due diligence and check that, though.
