So one of the big things that I doing in the new version of NAS is to add playlist support. I want to make this process as simple as possible for the end user, so i need some feedback from you guys as to what would be the easiest process.

here are my ideas, please feel free to offer your own methods/ideas.

theoretically, any combination of these ideas could be added together and implemented into NAS.

build the playlist in itunes (or any other desktop music app) to be imported by NAS:
pro: This option would be the easiest on my as a programmer. As far as itunes is concerned it just outputs a simple xml file with a list of songs in the playlist. NAS would easily be able to convert that list and build out a playlist accordingly
con: You wont be able to build a playlist on the fly.

build the playlist inside of NAS:
pro: The user would be able to build a playlist at anytime inside of the car
con: time consuming for me as i would have to build out the UI to handle this functionality. Tedious for the user to have to build out a playlist on a ~7" screen.

obviously the best scenario would be to mix the two options to cover all angles, however, what i need to know from you guys is if you would even want to try and build out a playlist while sitting out in your car on a ~7" screen?

once again, i am totally open for any ideas, any of you have.

Ok just thought i would drop you guys a line and let you know that I have started working on version 3 of NAS. I am essentially starting from the ground up to rework the entire app to (hopefully) be more user friendly and more performant. I am using an updated set of tools to create this version, and these tools may lend to a more customizable app in the long run ( I say "may" because i haven't been able to fully test out the new feature set, but it looks promising). NA3 is still going to be flash/air based so that means it should retain its cross-platform perks.

ok enough babbling here are some screenshots of the comps that i have created for the new UI
