**Scenario**  
Perform the following steps:

1. start Arcam Music Life iOS app, build 3022 is used
2. assure dark theme is selected
3. browse to a music source
4. select view by album
5. toggle the upper right hamburger menu to switch to large album art view

**Actual result**  
The artist and album names are not visible because font color is black and background is black.

**Expected result**  
The artist and album names should be visible in dark and light theme

**Additional information**  
In build 3005 album names are visible

I have tried this and the only option with the hamburger menu is to view all the albums by chosen artists as a list which does work but i still cant get it to work as in my previous image.

Sorry I do not understand what you’re referring to.

Meanwhile Arcam has confirmed the issue stated in the opening post. It will be a swift fix. So worries, it will delivered in a future version.

Ignore I miss read. I will continue using 3005 until a complete fix is available. I think the adage is ‘if it ain’t broke’!

Gapless is a nice feature. It was added to MusicLife 3.0.0 some time ago: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/arcam/original/1X/392e3bf193a65c17be1489a345c73b07a0e74d30.png)

You can get rid of the long tracks, remain the separate tracks and save some free disk space 🙂
