Hi!
I'd like to suggest some improvements for MC 23
Better integration with Windows 10 new GUI, allowing to control the music from the lock screen and showing album thumbnail and info when adjusting volume or after changing tracks. As an example, Spotify and Windows' native player, Groove, have a nice integration which is cool.
Integrate with the lock screen also on smartphones playing songs with Gizmo.
In Theater View, add an option to enable the top and botton edges control that show the hidden frames that have menus and/or close buttons and Windows Task Bar.
Integrate with Cortana for searching and playing media from the MC Library with MC.
In Theater View, add an option to enable to go directly to Playing Now view when switching from Standard View (or any other view) to Theater View while a song is already being played back. Currently, the first time we switch from Standard to Theater View, after launching MC, the main menu is shown and we have to navigate to get to the Playing Now view. Starting playing a song from Gizmo makes the Theater View go to the Playing Now automatically, why not going to Playing Now too after switching from different views while a song is already playing? At least make it optional.
In Theater View, revert fade out of menus, information and cover art after changing tracks and then fade out again after a few seconds. This is an old request that have been ignored since the fade out option was introduced.
Allow to optionally read an optical media at lower speeds while it is played back. Currently the spin speed can be controlled while the media disk is ripped but not while being played. This can result in a very annoying spinning noise from the optical drive.
Thanks

Direct access to Theater View > Playing Now is pretty cool. I have this mapped to control-6 on my keyboard and I have my IR remote programmed so a key on the remote triggers this also. You can add your own key mappings in MC's Resource.xml file to do things like this. The specific line in my file that does this is:
<!-- Direct access to theater view Playing Now -->
<Entry Key="Ctrl;6" Command="22001" Param="2" Global="1" />

I second these. Cortana needs more media-playback options than just Spotify and Groove!
