You are still seeing things in the developer's way. First of all, no implementation was presented here. The only thing which was said is that providing an option to disable autoscan is "probably" very easy (actually I should say "certainly", and if it is not, it means this software is a disaster). After that, what people are requiring is actually "just choosing what song to play". Because between the situation where you play a song immediatly with nothing displayed but the file name, and the situation where you struggle and are unable to play anything (or have to wait unacceptable delay before you can do it), every sensible person spending money for a Touch will choose the first one. Now that being said, all music software I tried provide this basic and straightforward option. When I select a file in Windows 7 explorer, main useful information is displayed. If the development of this product really requires too much reengineering to provide such a basic task (most will accept not seing every tag or artwork in this mode, though I should do it anyway), seriously, and I mean it, this thing has no future. Trash it. Provide a software with nothing else than a big button calling an explorer. Or work with another serious product, and make squeezeboxes client devices for those serious softwares, there are a lot. -- nicolas75 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ nicolas75's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15823 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90147 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
