[QUOTE="mbuzina, post: 758870, member: 12382"] First Feedback: I had no NW connection, so the music on my NAS was not there. Selecting Play (or Y for adding to playlist) resulted in 17 Error Pop-Ups that each song could not be played. That might be improved ;) More to come. -----------> 2nd post OK, now I am confused. My settings are: 1. Show the current playlist 2. OK = Play, Add All Tracks = Yes 3. Jump to Now Playing [allways] I tried on an individual song in an album (used shares view, will try db view later on): OK -> as expected, played starting with the current song, enqueued all (why enque songs that are before the current I did not get initially, but I guess that way you can press previous track which is more like a CD player), jumped to now playing Y -> Enqueued song at the end of the playlist, but also jumped to now playing. I found this confusing, I expected it to stay & select the next song in the list P -> Added just the one song selected to the playlist and jumped to now playing. I found this confusing as well, but I would get used to that (an probably set jump to now playing to only when multiple items) I will now set jump to now playing only with multiply items & check that. So the difference between Enter/OK & P(lay) is that Play only plays the current element. OK, I can dig that and I like that you have the choice. -----------> 3rd post OK, now that I tried all, I dig the way it works. To me this is an almost perfect setup. I just have 3 things I would change / add 1. Jumping to now playing on Y is a mistake. When you add something to the playlist you usually want to continue working on the playlist. So ignore the Jump To setting on Y or allow user to select what to do (I guess some people would prefer to jump to the playlist), so ideal would be 2 options what to do, one for Play, one for Enqueue. 2. When you enqueue and you don't jump anywhere there is no visual feedback at all that MP did something. This would result in me pressing Y a few times adding the same song... Then I would check the playlist and find the issue. So ideal would be a short (animated, skinnable) notification that "song X was added to the playlist, 2 songs from now". For multiple songs it would be ideal to show what was added, but maybe it is to complicated, so just show "added 12 songs to the playlist, 5 songs from now". 3. I would like to have an option that OK/Play would not interrupt the current song, but just inserts the songs after the currently played song (this would be perfect for parties!). Best would be to have this option in MP. oh and a last idea would be an undo button. But that is probably too much right now. So and just for completness I will check the other way of showing the playlist, but as I am not a big playlist builder, this is probably not for me. ----> 4th post :o The behaviour with the alternate playlist seems break the Now Playing screen. Hmm, strange I tried to reproduce the issue, but I couldn't. What happend was that I was playing a song outside the playlist, then whent to the playlist and pressed enter on an entry in the playlist. Now playing then showed the original song as being played. Hmm, although I do not use playlists a lot, I like the idea of this seperation. But I have one recommendation, which would make the whole option obsolete again: You already have the option of opening saved lists. So how about changing this to the following: 1. You add an option to the Saved Playlists called "current" and "new" (add them to the top) 2. When opening a playlist you don't start playing it (could be an option), you just display the playlist. 3. The playlist that is displayed here is the "editing" playlist, so pressing Y adds a song to this playlist. 4. The default is the "current" playlist, which models the default behaviour. Now you can use both ways of MP usage without opening MP config. How about it? [/QUOTE]
