There are two main arguments against it: - it clutters the UI - it gets awkward to use when you queue up more songs than can be shown in the sidebar and my only response to both of those is "yes, but I don't mind". I think the only way we'll resolve this is by allowing you to switch between the two. > That way, people can just drag songs from the music browser into the > queue list and it will be appended to the bottom. > > Rhythmbox will then check to see if there are any songs in the queue > after a song finishes, or after a user presses the skip button.

This is exactly how it works, and I don't think anyone's arguing about this part of it. > Sorry about my ASCII art, but it's hard for me to explain what I meant > in words. > > Oh, and maybe this idea has already been brought up before, I haven't > been on the list for very long. The idea has been around for a while. It's good to know that the queue-as-source vs queue-as-sidebar thing doesn't only exist in the heads of people who've been told that those are the only choices. -jonathan _______________________________________________ rhythmbox-devel mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/rhythmbox-devel
