BlueOs UI Question

I'm running BlueOs (v3.16.5) on an Android tablet and a phone and love the UI and the reliability with one annoying exception:

Let's say I've been listening to a streaming service (or my local library) for some time and have navigated through a bunch of content.  Now I want to switch sources. Tapping the icon with the 3 bars takes you to the main menu where you can select a new source.

The problem is that if I'm several screens into Quobuz, or my local library, I have to  to continually tap the back arrow (upper-left) until the 3 bars show up again. Only then can I get back to the main menu to switch my source. 

I assume other Android users are experiencing the same thing. Has anyone found a shortcut to get to the main menu when you're several "branches" down the source tree?

@lowrider57 Wow! Ok, now I feel like an idiot. I've been suffering the same bugbear  as @skirescue911 since last summer. Thanks for this 👍😁

...an interesting side note: on my tablet I have to touch and hold the left side for a second, wait for a narrow black bar, then swipe to get the main menu.  If I swipe without waiting it functions as a page-back. However, a hold is not necessary on my phone.  Obviously device and/or setting dependent.

Yes, must be device related. I'm using a Samsung Galaxy, it works flawlessly. My only gripe is with Qobuz through BluOs, there's no way to change the sorting of the library.

So true about the sorting. I so wish that Qobuz would come up with an equivalent to the "Tidal Direct" app available for Tidal.
