There is already a fairly straightforward way to get all artists (or albums, etc) starting with a given letter: the Search mechanism. But IMHO it takes rather too many button presses, and with my somewhat smaller library (about 400 artists) it's quicker to just scroll the main list.
Having a way to get quickly to a particular letter of the alphabet would be a godsend, but I can't say I much like your suggested method. I guess it would be better than nothing, though. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: the Rio Karma portable player got this right years ago. Its top menu was an A-Z arrangement, so you could start by selecting the initial letter of the required artist. In addition, the first item in the top level menu is "all artists": selecting that gives you a complete scrollable list. In concept the Controller could easily operate in an inverse of this approach: the top level menu is the entire scrollable list (ie. as it is now), with an additional first menu item being "A-Z". Selecting the "A-Z" option would then display a scrollable alphabet of initial letters. -- cliveb Transporter -> ATC SCM100A ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44671 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
