Item with Image Media for Ark UI

Three song links: Midnight City Lights, Coffee Shop Conversations and Digital Rain, each with album art, the artist and the duration.

Three outline rows that are links. Each has album art, a title with the album name, the artist and a duration. The first title is Midnight City Lights, at 3:45.

Use image rows for a media list people open, such as songs. A Table fits once artist, album and duration should be separate columns. In React, Ark UI does not play the track.

FAQ

What does variant image do for ItemMedia?

It turns ItemMedia into a small square that clips its picture: the image fills it with object-cover, corners follow your style, and the square shrinks at the sm and xs sizes. You only supply the image and its width and height.

What is ItemGroup and when should I use it?

ItemGroup stacks related Items in a column and gives the block the list role. This list sets gap-4 on the group. Add grid classes on ItemGroup when the rows should sit in columns.

How do link rows differ from rows with a button?

Here the whole row is the link, so the title, art and duration are one target, and it gets a muted hover background and a focus ring. When a row needs a separate action, keep it a plain Item and put a Button in ItemActions instead.

How do I show several pieces of metadata in a row?

Put the main line in ItemTitle, the album here in a muted span, the secondary line in ItemDescription, and a short value like the duration in a second ItemContent with flex-none so it stays at its width at the inline end. The title clamps to one line, so long names don't push the duration out.

Why are the images grayscale?

It's a style choice: grayscale keeps colorful album art from competing with the text, and the list reads as one block. Remove the class to show the art in color, or add hover:grayscale-0 with a transition to bring color back on hover.

Are the rows accessible without seeing the album art?

Yes: the art has an empty alt, so it's skipped, and each link is named by its text, the title, album, artist and duration. Give the image real alt text only if it shows something the row doesn't say.
