- Groups sharing and sorting a record collection
- Worth noticing
- A quick sorting flow asks listeners to handle ten records in about a minute; kept records are saved on the device in this prototype.
Field notes
The interface includes a counter for records being handled, filters by sections and labels, and options to shuffle or sort by release year and favorites. Keyboard controls are surfaced in the page: L is for listening later, K keeps a record, and PgUp/PgDn jump through the archive. The page also says sleeve art is generated and that kept records remain on the device for now.
