Browsing views provide lists or grids of content in popular categories for users
to browse.
Within each browsing view, content can be presented either as a grid or as a
list. Indicators can be used to identify content that is explicit, new, or in
progress.
Selecting a content item in a grid or list either opens up a view of lower-level
items (such as songs on an album) or plays the item. Selecting a playable item
opens up the playback view.
List and grid views
Content can be presented in a grid view, a list view, or a combination of both
in the same content space. Grid views are best when users rely primarily on
images to make their selections. List views are best when users rely on reading
text and viewing data to make their selections. Content can be organized into
categories separated by subheaders.
