I just find myself getting stuck scrolling back up after I drag down through the artist or songs. Thanks for you time.

have you tried setting the scroll as you drag in the music prefs? I'm curious as to how well it works on very large libraries so it would be cool if you could tell me what you think.

also I am working on a virtual keyboard for use in various modules that could be used to type say an f to jump to the first f in the list. if you have anykind keyboard in your car this function already works.

Im also playing around with the idea of an iphone like vertical alphabet to quickly jump to different letters.

I mentioned in another post that I wanted to get NBB working with my Contour Design ShuttleXpress rotary controller. The problem I'm running into is that the Shuttle application that connects the controller with the particular program you use it in seems to look for what the frontmost active program is. However, neither Front Row nor Neon Boombox appear to show up like that. So, I have to set the controller to use Global Settings. All would be fine, except that Front Row and NBB use different key bindings, and I don't have enough buttons to emulate them all. Is there a reason that NBB doesn't "come to the front"? Or is there some way I can get the Shuttle controller to recognize that it should use the NBB set rather than the Global set?

seems that there should be a way to manually configure such things in the shuttleXpress software... regardless NBB is the frontmost application when it is running. It has to be in order to receive key events in the first place (unless you are using a proxy app)

is there a 3rd party software that you can use to configure your controller?

most of NBBs keys should function the same as front row, but how about I make the keys customizable. I can easily make them editable in the prefs file, but you will need a plist editor (free on the leopard install disk) to edit the key bindings

sorry! I have thought about it. It is just too much work for little gain. NBB uses alot f leopard only features. especially after release 6. album art for instance is completely dependent on leopards quick look framework...

my friend is making a couple more. if you or anyone else wants to do some it is really easy, and i can help
