Other remarks, IMHO and FWIW : Overall I am not totally sold on the GUI, but hey, neither am I with the full iPeng on iPad app. As I said earlier I think a choice could be made on the app's purpose, and this should override what follows.
- In portrait mode there is no playlist. iPhoto uses a horizontal list, and this works well for me. - I have to agree in landscape mode it is difficult to visualize what's playing now. - There is no auto-add to the playlist when it ends. When it ends the player stops. Then you can add more songs, but there is no auto-start either. - No fullscreen "now playing" ? For a DJing app I can understand. But for a more passive app, I think this is really missing. - In my tests the cancel song popup was totally inefficient. For starters this is a transient popup window and I think they should get the axe (the second one being used for a possibly unnecessary player selection). If you're dancing around or semi drunk, a popup window is not easy to grasp. Second, every time I tried to hit the red (x) mark to cancel the addition, I failed to cancel and hit the song under it, ending up in adding 2 songs I think something like a swipe on the just added item should allow to delete it. (if added by yourself?) Like in Mail on iPhone when you want to archive/delete messages from the inbox. - Time remaining in playlist needs not be accurate by the second (it is on the song). Elapsed time on a song means nothing to me. Remaining time in the song does, but only if I am empowered to change what's going to play next. Both figures dance a little on screen (proportional font). Purely as a guest, what could interest me is: "do I have time to do whatever and be back for this song?", or "what was it they played 10 minutes ago?". So I think I'd prefer relative timing (X minutes ago, now playing, coming up in X minutes) attached to the playlist. Like the TimeMachine scale ? - Menu. I don't know what to say, by and large I hate it... But I guess at least you want to remove some distracting items from that menu (new music, extras, trackstat, favs ) All right you wanted it, now you have it. (I think there is also a lot of things that could be added to the app. But I'll leave that to other posts.) -- epoch1970 Daily dose delivered by: 3 SB Classic, 1 SB Boom iPeng (iPhone + iPad) Squeezebox Server 7.6 (Debian 6.0) with plugins: MusicIP Server Power Control by Gordon Harris WeatherTime by Martin Rehfeld IRBlaster by Gwendesign (Felix) BBC iPlayer, SwitchPlayer by Triode PowerSave by Jason Holtzapple Song Info, Song Lyrics by Erland Isaksson SaverSwitcher, ContextMenu by Peter Watkins Just Covers by Tom Kalmijn. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ epoch1970's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16711 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93980
