CF 2.0b oppinion

Tried it out for an hour or so. Must say, itīs fast, but not quite production ready IMO.

These are the things I noticed (was annoyed about :-) ):

Media Manager, whenever you push something, it doesnīt automatically open it, so I have to press the "right" button. The fewer button presses the better in a car. I know double-click works, but thatīs difficult when driving.
Where is the one-click option in the setup?


When browsing down through a list, there is no fast way to skip a LOONG way down, except pressing "down" a 100 times. I have a LOT of artist and albums.... it takes for ever, and is difficult in the car.


The "direct-load" feature is gone. I think CF is way to playlist oriented, a lot of us guys donīt sit around making playlists for all kinds of driving, some times I change my mind and decide to hear something else. I have to clear the queue, find my album (through a LOT of clicks), add it and load the queue. It takes WAY to many clicks from the homepage until i have a new album loaded


There is a confirmation box whenever you add to the playlist, now thatīs annoying.


In general I find that the Media Manager has become a lot worse than before. More complicated, more clicks required, bad overview and problematic to use while driving.


I simply donīt like the bright grey color of the skin, but thatīs a one man oppinion I just think the skin looks kinda "cheap" with that "easy-on-the-eyes-cool" blue, and that cheap 80īs plastic grey


I know this is a first, looking forward to bugfixes, an official ToDo list and all the plug-ins
