Yes, I think that would work well. You could add another item, "Select
Genres To Include" to the top level of Random Mix, below the existing
entries ("Random Artist Mix" etc). It's probably worth having an All
Genres entry at the top of the list that just ticks/unticks the lot.
The list would look a bit like:
Press xxx to select/deselect a genre:
All Genres [ ]
Blues [X]
Electronica [ ]
Rock [X]
Is there an interface like this in the SB2 already? I'm sure I've seen
one somewhere, but can't find it now! What button do you use to toggle
the selection?
I suspect that this feature would be extremely popular as it is a big
step towards the virtual playlists or multi-user collections that
people often ask for. I for one would just be glad to stop spoken word
appearing in the middle of my music. ;-)
