Yes, it does and sometimes that is what I want (and sometimes not--hence I switch between your app and his). I like the pop up in that it helps but it still doesn't prevent entirely what I don't want--people hitting play and erasing a playlist. That is why I asked for play now functionality where play/erase just doesn't exist anymore. pippin;607982 Wrote: > The question is: would it make sense to have that kind of a "soft" party > mode?

Not sure how that would work--just trying to give you my feedback based on what I need/don't need. It sounds like you heard from folks who run into issues I don't face--the other settings that are currently out there are nice to have's but I have never found a reason to use them. pippin;607982 Wrote: > I believe the "play next" solution you suggested has a few more > implications that may be problematic: > 1.

Interesting implications you listed--haven't thought of these but obviously you think a little more deeply on this stuff than I do. Here are my reactions. 1--does it have to be this way? Can't you "play" an ablub, have it add all tracks and then skip to the first track of the album? I'll defer to you. Also, you lost me on the other Logitech "apps" implication. Not sure what the issue is 3--Not sure the implications here. What apps would not have a play next? Would Pandora be one? I can see that being problematic in that how would Pandora play if it is just one item in a playlist made up of other items like tracks from iTunes, tracks from Rhapsody and/or tracks from Slacker. Perhaps on those types of apps where there is not really a track but a stream (pandora, slacker, radio), this option doesn't apply. That gets a bit messy in terms of users understanding behavior. -- bhall ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bhall's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36765 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51929 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
