Thanks a lot its always good to get some inspiration - I'll definitely put it all in the backlog to analyse after the next major feature from the poll (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80575) has been implemented.
I know its hard that in the poll you can only vote for exactly one feature ... but as I only have two hands its only fair that everyone has to cope with the tough decision. At least: as as soon as the most wanted feature is implemented everyone will be allowed to vote for the second most important feature ;) Some comments though to some points: > Is there any chance you can implement support for artist images ? This will be covered by option #1 "More images of your music collection" in my poll (my favourite by the way). I use your album flow applet together with artist images and they are really good indeed. I somehow dream of an interface like the photos app starting when you click the album artwork - automatically fetching the Last.FM pictures of the current artist. Then while you are listening you can explore great concert pics and other matching fotos. > > Viewing large images through Michael's Picture Gallery plugin doesn't > seem to work, it's just sitting there and trying to load the image for > ever.

There are some slideshows around here and there in SqueezePlay: in the Queen App, the Flickr App, your song-info context-menu on SqueezePlay enters a slideshow and I guess Michael's Picture Gallery is the same type as well. Currently all these are just rendered like an album-menu: (too small) picture left, title right. Tapping currently does nothing. So vote #1 to see this covered. > When implementing the context menu, it would be great if it was possible > to launch it for both artist, album and track on the currently playing > track. It's currently implemented to show the playlist context-menu of the current playing song. All other options were too difficult because of all the different types of media that could be playing. Using the playlist context-menu entry is a nice generic solution. > It would be great to have some quick way to get to the top level menu or > as an alternative have toolbar buttons to access the most important > menus but that might clutter the interface a bit. > Long press on the menu-title gets you instantly back to the home menu (yeah its a bit hidden but covered in all descriptions I wrote). Two taps away are the artist + album list. One tap away the favourites. I'm thinking of providing quick links to albums and artist but am yet afraid to clutter the interface. I just hate buttons around everywhere. Maybe some small panel which can move in from the bottom on demand. > The TrackStat menus provides three rows of data, only the two upper rows > are shown, the play count row is never shown This would be covered with option #6 from the poll "TrackStat Ratings" > Ideally, I would like a global search feature accessible from a > magnifying glass icon somewhere on the screen [...] vote for #9 "Better Search" :D > A album wall that displays all albums as small icons, similar as the the > "Large Artwork" display option in the Albums menu in the SBS web > interface. vote for #8 "Album Art Only Screen" > When long text is displayed it shortens them with a "..." in the middle, > would be great if there was some way to display the complete text. Damn - if the iPad was a computer we had tooltips :D Two other guys already mentioned that they don't like different font size. One option would be to provide scrolling textfields everywhere which would solve these issues. I take your point as one more vote for such a solution.
