When browsing to an artist in the Android app, the UI currently freezes while artist information is loading. This prevents me from starting playback until the loading is complete which sometimes can take up to 10 seconds.
I’d like to request that artist info loads asynchronously in the background, so I can interact with the app and start playing music immediately - without waiting for the bio/info to finish loading.
I don’t want to disable artist info entirely, as I do enjoy reading it sometimes. I just don’t want it to block the UI.
This would be a significant usability improvement for those of us on slower connections or when Roon is fetching metadata.
