Looks like I misunderstood your statement, sorry. I'd prefer it to just work the same way always - depending upon a mode setting. I also don't like any press-hold type actions - personel issue, I guess. I never remember them so for me the code could be simpler and just not have that function... :) I'm seriously a radical, though, because I'd move all existing functionality from the "+" key to the play button and just use the "+" key to activate a context menu of other actions universally no matter what menu you were at... A setting for the default "Play" action of either 1) clear list and play selection, 2) Add selection to end of current list, or 3) add selection to next position. It would be nice to be able to select the hold-play function, as well, I guess. Add in MusicIP as one of the options for it, then. -- dwilliams01 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dwilliams01's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10988 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55135 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
