That's actually one of the novel ideas there:

Look at the texts near the left and right buttons at the sides. On the
left side, it shows the previous track, and on the right side, it
shows the next track. Simply clicking them makes them play.

Admittedly, this comes with some discoverability issues, but this
could be helped with tooltips, plus maybe an icon. Once you have
discovered how it works, it feels very natural and nifty. Especially
because you can directly tell the name of the track that will be
played :)


(Currently these texts sometimes cycle to other information, which I
find confusing, but this could be removed.)
