What i am considering is in particular the devices that are not like an ipod. That is, flash based mp3 players without a db. This class of players dump files in a folder which the device reads on startup. I had originally thought of assigning an existing playlist to the device (the user would select it when the device is attached) however i think it would be clearer to have that association between the device plugged into the computer and the playlist with its name. > It should be done straight away (with a progress indicator, a dialog at > first is probably enough).

I'll have to consider this then, so just to clarify, when a user drops a new song from the library into the device specific playlist, it should perform that action immediately. Ok, i'll make a mock up of some suggestions for progress indicators (copying, new on device(copied to computer), new in playlist(copy to device)) Actually, now i realise something else i wanted to discuss, how should i handle files that are new on the device? I had considered creating a folder like ~/Music and dumping the files there and then adding to the playlist. Ideas? -nick _______________________________________________ rhythmbox-devel mailing list rhythmbox-devel@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/rhythmbox-devel
