Re: [slim] [ANNOUNCE] SqueezeCommander 0.9 for Android
Since changing to an Android phone, I've been using SqueezeCommander on my phone (along with iPeng on iPad) and just thought I'd post a couple of impressions in case anyone cares. - I really like the "half-star" rating control. I have seven thousand carefully tagged and curated songs in my collection, and I like to similar curate my ratings... - It insists on caching dynamic custom browse menus, so I have to clear the cache every time I go to those menus - The design is simple, clear, and intuitive - Overall, I don't know what I'd do on my phone without it mps's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36351 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69352 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

OK. Let me take my best shot at convincing you - Erland's awesome Trackstat plugin supports a 10 point rating scale. More compatibility with that would be great. - Trackstat dynamic ratings create ratings that would display better with a finer-grained star control - While I know that much of the world is increasingly focused on streaming, the Squeezebox community is full of people with carefully curated and tagged collection of many thousands of songs. 5 points don't really cut it for such collections. - If people only have ratings that are a multiple of 20, it will display exactly like it does now, but for people who have finer-grained ratings it will display better - Working better with Last.FM is certainly a plus, esp. in Squeezebox community - IIUC, iTunes displays half stars for Last.FM - We already know it works great on SqueezeCommander. There are zero posts complaining about that. Admittedly, there are none lauding it (although I am about to add one, because I love it), but people are much more likely to complain about things they don't like. - While it is technically "more complicated," I am having trouble understanding how anyone could find it confusing. My guess is people who don't care about it won't even notice. - If you wanted, you could make it a setting like trackstat does. People who don't want half star will never even worry about it My bottom line is that while it's not a world-changing feature (although it's important to me, so I'd be happy to make a donation to help support it), there are a bunch of upsides, and I personally don't see much, if any, of a downside (I know some will disagree). mps's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36351 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104537 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Document your collection
In tracks look at primary_artist - it's a contributor ID.

Just to say you have a customer for the upcoming iPeng on tvOS.
