Another shit design decision from Google

The stupid monkeys at Google's Android Auto UI Design team have made it so that album art has rounded corners in the latest update. As you can imagine, this makes certain albums look terrible and is a completely pointless decision.

What's with the recent resurgence of rounded corner cancer in UI design?

      I don't give a frick what "style" they're going for, you don't frick with the album art. Album art is designed for a square frame, rounding the edges messes with certain art.

        that would look even worse

        Apple started doing rounded corners in the 1980s. Why is Android just now catching up?

        apple was always primarily about fashion you know, and android still somehow goes about functionality

    Why do you need to look at albums?
    Just download all the music you like, and could like, and throw it in a folder.

    Apple did it. Apple is cool. So now monkeys must copy every bad decision Apple makes.

        Apple quit the round corners after a while. They're bringing them back in recent years though.

      Controls look dreadful.
      Every other "premium" device in the past decade: Fairly high res pixel LCD with intuitive buttons or a touchscreen
      "Premium" aftermarket car stereos: One-line 7-segment type screen with awkward ass controls using a rocking knob that mostly doesn't do what you expect

      I had a kenwood radio like this and it sucked. I had hundreds of songs on my USB but it would end up playing the same few songs in a similar order without variation on shuffle
