CENTRAFUSE BETA [1.5] Requests

1) Did you see my post above David? (you posted twice while I was posting it, so I just wanted to make sure you didn't over look it). Please don't take it as "attitude" either... you know I love your work. I just want to know if you still intend on making an alternate music manager.

2) Is there any way to make the "Quick Library" load Genres or Artists, or can it really only load Albums or single songs of the currently playing artists?

Edit: I actually would like to be able to just make it so that every time CF loads up, each genre is loaded as a seperate HDD icon list. Previously I just always had all songs loaded and I never loaded anything. Now it would be cool to just have the HDD button be a "change genre" button.

I listen to music based on genre as well. I have it all in folders organized Artist > Album > Song, but, that's just for album art and organiztion purposes. I'd like to have a big button to press to listen to, say, "Rock" and have it randomize the songs for me. (Of course other times, I'd want "Rock" organized by Artist, so I'd have to be able to unrandomize (

) as well).

My ultimate player would not have the media-manager at all, just the media-player with all media always loaded. There would be buttons to sort the all songs list by Artist-Title, Artist-Album-Track, or Genre-Artist-Title (plus many other variants). There would be buttons for jump to next/prev genre/artist/album. It would be able to randomize all, and randomize within current genre/artist/album.

Whenever changing list sort orders, it would start off at the current selection within the re-sorted list, not at the top of the list.

I like the idea of the scrolling song titles, but the way it currently scrolls, then stops, and resets itself is a little distracting: every so often i catch the "reset blink" out of the corner of my eye and then wind up looking over at it, wondering "what broke now...." lol

Perhaps it might be less distracting to let the title constantly scroll, but to have a seperator such as *** between the ending and beginning..

The scroll/blink feature was actually something I requested way back. Without it, you really can't tell when the scroll has finished. I must admit I never envisioned to have the scrolling loop around multiple times. I have it set so it scrolls once, blinks, and then stops scrolling unless a new song is loaded.

I'd like the mixer button back on the left hand panel, I use it a LOT, like, a lot a lot.

You should be able to edit that in your ini files in the system folder.

Configure it. You dont even need to touch the INI files anymore. It's done from within the Settings dialogs!

with a seperator, it would be obvious where the song name ended; there's no need for it to even stop scrolling. like i said i catch a blink out of the corner of my eye, which is distracting..

just my 2¢

go to settings and set the scroll delay to 0...
