I noticed there was an earlier thread about this as well:
It would be great if the app had an option to disable the auto-timeout of the now playing view to the album art, which is just a simple icon if the cover is missing:
A simple option to not automatically revert to the album art after X seconds, but to stay on the manually selected view would solve this. This would likely be relatively simple to implement and might please a lot of people.
How and where could such a feature request best be placed?
In general, a feature request subforum with perhaps even (non-binding) voting might be really great to have.
