To my fullest admire to this open-source Android application for staying true to its name, simple but packed with heavy performance. I am also fan of this application as it has low size compared to other music player available on the Play Store today.

The great thing also, **Simple Music Player** is an open-source.

But, as I am fan of this app, I do have also suggestion for making this app more better.

### Suggestion
The embedded photo icon for music files could've been better if it occupies the entire available space to its notification. But,it's only stays center with so small photo, to think, it has more space available. Direct to say, my suggestion is **all about increasing the photo size of the music embedded photo that can be seen in the phone notification when the music play.**

Now, for more details, let's gonna look this following photo screenshot I took from the mentioned app, in relation to this suggestion of mine.

As seen in the photo above, I do play the music file *Waiting For Love* by *Avicii*. And of course, if there is a music played in the application, there will be a notification also.

Yeah, that's photo seen above is the notification for the music played using **Simple Music Player**.

While there still plenty of space available, but the photo icon is only occupying the small portion of the notification while it can get bigger more. I edited the the notification for suggestions and I think, it is much more better it is big enough. Please see my edited photo below.

> Obviously, I just expanded the original embedded photo of the app and it becomes like this one.

### Reasons for this suggestion.
I'm gonna talk the comparison first between the original notification and the the edited one for suggestions purposes.

**The original**

The edited for suggestions**

It is very noticeable with the the edited photo icon, as you can see it with the comparison.

Now, this features ask is very important because every embedded photo icon for the music files has also very important rule in identifying the music. The more time we'll see the embedded photo, we can simply memorize directly those *artist name or even the song inside of it*.

It is very useful if the shown photo in the notification is more larger than the current one, so that the user can directly identify the album of the song played by just recognizing only the photo that can be seen in the notification.

That's all. Hoping to reach the developer via this contribution of mine.
