[QUOTE="Jeditrav, post: 752383, member: 51114"] [b]Re: AW: Re: AW: Re: Feedack on 1.2 music changes[/b] Yes, Play and OK did different things in v1.1, but they intuitively did the correct thing depending on where you were. With an Album selected, press Play and it would play; press OK and it would enter the album and show track listings. With a track selected, press OK or Play and it would play - without any interference with the playlist, which was a seperate thing. ??? Not sure what you mean by this. If you're in Album/Track view and have just started playing from there, you can see the track listing - no problem, it just goes to the next track, then the next track. If you're in the playlist screen you can see the playlist, so no problem. If you're in the Now Playing screen it shows what is playing Now, and what is to play Next. This is the only instance I can think of where you can't see what is going to play after the Next track - is this really a problem? I don't have CD set to 'autoplay', but I had the 'Jump To' set to 'Current Playlist if Multiple Tracks'. When I played a CD with the PlayCD option, it would jump to the Playlist screen, populated with all the tracks on the CD, all named from internet lookup. Never had to go to 'shares' view and browse into the CD folder, so not sure what your problem was. Because what was currently playing was not necessarily the current playlist. This enabled people to do stuff like 'audition' a track before choosing whether to add it the playlist or not. Personally, I was always able to keep my head wrapped around the two seperate things. Once again, the difference between playback of the currently selected track and playback/creation of a playlist. Wasn't there a 'Play Next' option in the context menu anyway? Was for me. Always jumped to the 'Current Playlist if Multiple Tracks' consistently and correctly.
