Certainly very intested in this - I think that the POC was a complete success from that point of view... :)
Yes, sorting options would be needed. I prefer artist/album, myself. I, for one, probably wouldn't take the time to find all of the artists pictures to use. A VERY interesting idea, though. I could see that some would like it. Genre would be another one that pictures could be used to scroll through, but again, coming up with the artwork would be a challenge. I wouldn't mind the ability to optionally attach a picture to those, or playlists for that matter, though. For now playing I was thinking that the same UI method could be used. The album art flowing in/out with the current song's album in the center would be nice. The song title underneath the artwork. The current song would have to have some sort of highlight, though so you would know when you were "back". Another look would be the tiled approach - a big grid of album art that you can move up/down/left/right through. Kind of boring, but maybe quicker??? I keep wanting to grab an album with the mouse and drag it left/right to scroll through the list. Is that possible? It seems more natural than the scroll wheel method. The ability to "add" to the end or next of the current playlist would be essential in a party-type situation. Everyone wants to scroll around a pick something, etc. For this reason I'd love the ability to "lock out" the current "clear playlist and play this song/album" feature. It seems that everyone hits the play button at least once when using any of the other interfaces (web, SB3 remote, new controller) and wiping out everyone's previous selections is both common and unwelcome. Basically a "jukebox mode". Any thoughts on deployment platform choices? I'd think that I would potentially setup one of those "quiet" boxes to put on the rack by the AVR/TV, etc. I could see it being easily combined with something like MythTV, etc. (even though I use Tivo) so any thoughts on a non-Windows version (I think that MythTV, etc. is linux based)? Also, for this I'd like to have as little mgt. as possible so an install-n-forget linux vesion might be very popular (and cheaper since it saves the cost of a Windows license).
