That would, of course, satisfy me, but probably not a great idea. Maintaining two separate codepaths would be a pain, and probably lead to even more subtle and irritating bugs later on. > > I can see good reasons for both the old and new style of browsing the > music folder. > The only reason I see for the bare filesystem view is speed, but it seems unlikely to me that you couldn't get the speed improvements with a better UI. It might be HARDER to do that way, but I really think it's worth the effort: Having your songs display inconsistently depending on how you browsed to them is an ugly bit of UI that violates user expectations and is uglier to boot. > In the new style, I think at least the known extension types can be > stripped off for display.

Taking the ".wma" off the files would be better than nothing, but it's still suboptimal. -- mkozlows _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
