Thanks @andrewilley for your suggestion about tapping the mini player, however I think that is not gonna solve my issue, because the mini-player itself is too small, plus i need to move my finger quite a lot to hit that box (tall phone, 1 handed usage -- this forces me to change/move the phone in my hand, which is tricky with 1 hand usage).
I like much more to swipe in order to go to the playlist because a swipe is an "intended" action while tapping is more of an "accidental" one. I cannot accidentally swipe, but i most certainly accidentally tap.
Is it possible foe a skin to fix this issue maybe?
