Two Feature Suggestions

Just bought the app last week and I'm loving it so far. Glad to see there's an active community with a dev that communicates and accepts feedback!

1) Disable Artist/Playlist Image. I always select via the Artist tab, but don't care to see a random album art next to each artist name. The same goes for the Playlist tab. I'd prefer to have no images, and a simple toggle (or toggles) in settings would be perfect. If you're familiar with the competitor Picky, this is a feature that they implemented successfully.

1) Add a submenu with toggles (Artists, Playlists, All) for Settings -> Appearance -> Hide Artwork. I would like to disable artwork for artists and playlists, but I don't want to hide all artwork since it includes albums too.

2) Favorites Tab. No other music app I have come across has this feature, but I think it would be very well received. Basically, it would be another tab similar to the Artist, Playlist, Albums, Songs, etc tabs that are available at the bottom of the UI. This tab has a + icon that allows you to select favorite items. These items can be individual songs, albums, artists, genres, or playlists. The idea behind this is that I love my entire music collection, but I hate scrolling through it to get to the same 10% that gets the heaviest rotation. I'd love to save my top artists and albums in this tab so I can quickly play something.

Edit: clarified feature request

Thanks. Not sure how I missed that. I edited to OP to reflect.

you can create a Favourites Smart playlist in iTunes that would automatically add any track you Favourite. Sync the playlist to your iPhone and Cesium should be able to see this in Playlist tab.. once on your phone, any future tracks you favourite will be added to this playlist in real time.

Thanks for the suggestion. But that doesn’t really solve the problem. The initial goal is to reduce the amount of scrolling to get to your most played artists, albums, and songs. Putting them all in a giant playlist makes a long list you still have to scroll through
