I have LineageOS on my phone and noticed the media player has the wavy progress bar on it. Not only that, a lot of music players also have it and lowkey I personally don’t like them. I find it hard to position where I actually want to be in the song and I just don’t like the constant movement. I rather a normal progress bar but that just a personal choose.

Can’t wait to completely ditch Android at this point. Mobile Linux still needs some time though, comparing to past years we’re quite close I feel.

I have found the wavy bar to be both aesthetically displeasing and functionally worse. I have a harder time understanding where I am in a song or podcast and feel like changing that position is harder since the position doesn’t visually track with my finger directly. Very frustrating all around.
As someone else said, it would be a cute thing for a single app, but it should not have been made a part of the android design language.

I absolutely love material expressive, my fav design language (second is libdwaita).

It would be a cute detail, if one media player did that, but it being part of the general OS design language got me tired of it pretty quickly…

I was surprised when they added that to android auto and kind of like that the waves let me better estimate how far along the song is. I do think the waves on that are too big, a slight wave would be better. The ability to adjust the waves and turn it off would be best.
Not sure how the wave looks on LineageOS, just commenting on the wavy progress bar concept.

Android auto’s wavy bar is much more extreme peaks than the notification bar.
