Hello, I'd be grateful if the community can suggest a solution for this please. 

When I'm playing music on Spotify, I would like to be able to see what song is playing as I get on with other things like running, cooking, reading, gaming etc. There are three constraints though... 😀 
1. I want something which involves not touching the phone screen, 
2. Without using the standard music widget on AOD (too small for my eyes unless I pick up the phone, no media controls, not enough info),
3. I want the security of the phone being locked.

Things I've tried include
- using GoodLock modules such as LockStar, 
- resizing the AOD music widget (doesn't seem possible), 
-using a Routine to turn off AOD (still gives a black screen; a touch wakes up Lock Screen with a nice media player but it turns off again after a few seconds). 
-Can't find a way to keep the Lock Screen on permanently.
-″Ok Google″ is a pain with having to ask a full question.

Thanks for reading.

My idea won't help you with the phone, but my Samsung Classic 4 smartwatch shows me, via the Spotify app on my watch, the music playing on Spotify on the phone.

Thanks Dave. Yes, it is so much easier to use the Samsung watch to see this, and I think it's probably the best option.
