mr_payne Hey mate, I’d suggest logging this as product feedback via settings > system > feedback 🙂 This is one of the best ways to get the folks at Nothing to hear your ideas. I do think the idea of an AOD though is that your look but don’t act on it, it’s little flashes on information, where as music control is a task which you’d use the lock screen for.
Would love to hear what the community think!
