870122 - It should be possible to delete a track from the phone via Music app

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

Description

[Matěj Cepl]

When using Music for playing my podcasts (unfortunately, my podcatcher is still far from a production state ;)), I would like to have an option to delete a played track from the phone.

Any plans on this?

Yes.. That should be a useful option. Long press the song and option to delete them or a trash button to delete songs.

## I could like to help on this.

## Expected :
Option to Delete a song inside the Music App

## Actual : 
There is currently no option to delete them. To Delete one has to access the file manager and delete them.

I really think we should wait until we have final UX specs before we start on this. Most of the work is probably on the UX side, and it would be silly to do this now, and then have to do it all over again in a few months.

Agree, we should have some ux spec for deleting songs in music app to help devs to implement it, also it would be easier for us if we want to mentor the contributor.

Jacqueline, do you think it's possible to have some ux specs here? this feature looks like a worthy one to work on and probably you can work on it(base on the current music app) if you are available, thanks!

Dominic and Jim:

Of course, get the input from UX first to see what is involved. We can then plan a release vehicle for this. 

Thanks

This will be addressed in the 2.2 Music refresh UX spec.
