I just realized that I can't even do what I'm proposing from the computer. When creating a playlist, as soon as I attemp to play a song (because I need to preview it), the list is deleted. Unfortuneatly I suspect there are fundamental technical issues with the creation of an additional "que" where one could store song selections (that are previewed in the playlist)
You want a suggestion? Here's a simple halfway measure that I would find VERY usefull. THE CURRENT ISSUE: How do you create playlists? THE PROBLEM: You have to have already decided what you want to put in the list BEFORE it's created and how do you do that? Do you keep a pen and paper at your listening seat and note each song that you like while it's playing in order to create the list later? Do you memorize the stuff you want to "playlist"? These techniques are neither very "efficient" nor particularly "intuitive". THE SOLUTION: As a halfway measure one thing I would find VERY usefull (and easy to implement) would a "flag" button (on the remote)so that one could keep track of tunes that one wants to put in a playlist at a later time (other than when SB2 is actually playing). At the computer interface this "flag" could show up as a check mark beside the song track. One could then visually search for the flagged songs or better yet, use a search feature to locate the "flagged" tunes . It would then be easy(er) to mix and match songs in playlists. *In terms of needing a new button on the remote I believe that would also be an easy problem to solve: Just use the current "add" button and give it 2 user defined funtions "flag" or "add" (which could be toggled in the server settings menu). PS I have done something my own version of a "flag" technique for years. On the back of the CD box I would simply "check" or circle (with permanent marker) the songs that I liked. That would facilitate the quick creation of a "selected tracks" playback list on my CDP whenever I cued up that CD. -- gdg _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
