Question: Do you have a 770?
    
- Got it
- Want it
- Need it
- Forget it
------------------------------------------------------------------------

thanks for all of the ideas. I'll respond to them one at a time...

1) She liked the bigger album display when using Telcanto on an Axim.
Overall now playing interface is much better, just liked the a bigger
picture.

I like big cover art too, but I'm not sure how I'd layout the page if I
went any bigger...I'll noodle on this one and add it to my list as an
enhancement idea.

2) Same question regarding the Repeat and Random icons - what are they
and why can't you click them. Once explained it made sense. Agree with
earlier post on not adding text, keep it clean. One idea might be to
put a background behind the repeat and random icons so them look like a
header rather than a clickable icon?

I think what I'm going to do is leave those icons the light gray color
when I darken the others (see next request)

3) When you put the 770 down flat (e.g. on a table), the light grey
(teal?) icons and text wash out. Maybe another color?

yeah, this needs to be done. it's been on my list for some time.

4) If click on Squeezebox's Playlist when it's empty, the image is not
sized correctly - scrolls right.

what image? Need more info...

5) If click on a Squeezebox's Playlist when it's full of songs, there
are not icons for Play, Move Up, Move Down, Next, Remove, etc. Looks
like text box image place holders? These basically split the screen in
half and causes songs to wrap. The functionality is great!

I've seen this under certain circumstances, and I can tell you it's an
issue with the Opera browser and not the skin per se. I don't know how
I can fix this, but I will see if there's anyway of preloading images
into opera's cache (esp. ones that are used repeatedly throughout a
page like these)

workarounds: 
configure slimserver through server settings to not display as many
items/page.
hit the playlist icon a second time when you see this and the images
may load on the page refresh.

6) Does not appear to be ability to delete a playlist? Typical
situation is when I do a playlist rescan, it pulls playlists from
iTunes I don't want so I go in to delete them from Slimserver. It's in
the default skin with a second confirmation step.

How is "clear" playlist different than "delete" playlist?

6) What does the Download button do when on a Playlist screen?

I don't use this feature, but its intention is to export your current
playlist as an .m3u file, which could then be saved somewhere on your
PC where you could call it up again. I just tried it and it worked
fine...items in the .m3u were full file paths to those tracks (not
slimserver-specific).

BTW, this is your second #6 ;)

7) When you scroll in a playlist, would it be possible to keep the top
icon in place. Thinking of something like a frame for the playlist, but
sure that's not the right way to do it. Usage example is if you scroll
of the bottom of a playlist to force a song to play next (AWESOME
FUNCTION!), you then have to scroll all the way back up to get to the
Now Playing icon.

If I can do it with css, I'll give it a shot. I want to keep this skin
frame-free though, so that's not an option.

added to my list.

8) Possible to slightly increase font size for the menu on the Settings
page? My fat fingers always click the wrong thing

should be able to do this with css. on the list

9) When perform a search for a song title (e.g. Civil War by GnR), the
result is VERY FAST and more importantly, CORRECT. Can you also show
the artist and album? All that shows is the title, so if there's
multiple results it would be hard to tell.

on the list

Idea - I'm getting a 1GB RS-MMC card. Wonder if it's possible to store
album images on the card so it pulls those local rather than OTA.
Should be quicker?

not a chance will I do that one. that's way beyond the scope of this
project.


thanks for all the input. My list is growing rather than shrinking
these days and haven't had much "fun" development time while my paying
job has been busy. I hope to get to this stuff reasonably soon
though...

cheers,
#!/ben
