Skin like my CarMusic app

It ought to be possible to create a layout like that - although it would look a bit odd on most modern devices as landscape layouts are really wide, hence most skins putting the buttons AND the text on the right side, with the cover image a bit larger on the left.

Skins can't currently create extra additional items though. The core app provides skins with pre-formatted text for Title, Artist-Album, user-selected metadata line content, counter, duration, etc. so a skin can only move those around or change their appearance (size/font/background/etc) not add/change the actual wording.

The reason of these big wide buttons is to make them use able while driving. 

When driving every second on the screen is a second less attention to the road which can be dangerous, so it has to be a minimum. 

Also when driving it is more difficult to have a steady hand to touch the right buttons. 

I mostly use the buttons on my steering wheel but I can't detect longpress for going to the next folder for which I have to use the on screen buttons.

@Jeroenst yes, in Poweramp, 'Category' is just the general term for the currently playing grouping type - so it could mean Albums, Artists, Playlist, Folders, Genres, etc. depending on what you are currently listening to.

So if you are listening to a folder, then using the 'Next Category' button will take you to the next folder.
