1. What kind of device would you like to use when creating the playlists ? - A computer - A tablet - A smart phone - A Logitech Controller, Radio or Touch display - A IR remote - Something else
My preference would be to use tablet/smart phone followed by the SB players themsleves and finally a computer, I'm looking for ease of use playlists over spending a long time creating and deciding what should be in it 2. How do you decide what should be part of a playlist ? - By selecting the individual tracks you want to include - By selecting the albums you want to include - By selecting the artists you want to include - By automatically selecting 100 tracks that matches some search criteria (genre, ratings, ...) - Something else I listen to 2 types of playlists 1) album playlists - mainly new music, in this case I'll add an album (either local or on spotify) and then queue up another one with 'add to end' 2) dynamic/smart playlists - I've got various playlists set up using erlands dynamic playlists based on 'top rated' and then the smartmix playlist, these are both heavily used for more casual listening with variations of decades, genre etc. 3. How do you decide which order the tracks should have in the playlist ? - Random ordered tracks - Random ordered albums - Drag and drop albums to put them into the right order - Drag and drop tracks to put them into the right order - Something else See above 4. What's the most frustrating limitation with SBS/LMS playlist management today ? - That it doesn't support relative paths in playlist files which are scanned - That it's too hard to reorder tracks in existing playlists - That it's too hard to create completely new playlists - Something else There is no native smart playlist from the web interface/phone controller, so for example when I loaded music into google music it created some auto playlists, whereas with SB i have had to set up various plugins/ratings/mixes although the results are good The web interface is very limited, it would be great if controllers had the ability to drag and drop or suggest tracks etc. 5. What kind of device would you like to use when modifying existing playlists ? - A computer - A tablet - A smart phone - A Logitech Controller, Radio or Touch display - A IR remote - Something else don't really use static playlists 6. What kind of modifications do you usually do on already existing playlists ? - Reorder tracks in the playlist - Remove tracks, albums or artists from the playlist - Add new tracks, albums or artists to the playlist - Something else see above Is there anything else than the above you feel is important to take into consideration if anyone would like to improve the playlist management ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ socistep's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18860 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94988 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
