Quite a few people have requested better playlist managment, whether via drag-n-drop or some other method (personally, while DnD would be nice, I think the "netflix" method might be even better -- oh, and obligatory caveat that I haven't searched to see if there's a plugin to do it already!) I'd like to suggest some other ways that one might like to manage a playlist. I'd like to be able to sort a playlist by say artist, or genre, or album. For example, suppose I decide I in fact don't want to hear Artist X afterall -- it might be difficult to even find all of the relevant tracks in the playlist, much less delete them. Being able to sort by artist would allow you to delete them quickly. I'd suggest one could go further with this idea. The notion of browsing by a single tag and only returning lists containing one piece of information (artist, album, or track title) is too restrictive. It is more powerful to display several tags, such as artist, album, track, genre, and allow the user to filter the set by any tag, and to sort the results by any tag, much the way iTunes and most other media players work. Granted this might be slow in a browser. Also, this style of interface is completely unsuited to the squeezebox+remote, and so you would be breaking any similarity in the way you control the server via the web interface and the way you do it from the remote. This might turn off new users. -Steve -- wnshall ------------------------------------------------------------------------ wnshall's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5886 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26874 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
