Just wondering if there is any news on this? It Would be lovely to scroll the playlist with the mousewheel. Maybe one even could drop the "page flip system" in it and give the playlist a little scrollbar instead?

Thanks for the support on this Pirk

Don't know, but a scrollbar sollution (with wheel support) seems kindof more handy than having to go all the way down to the flip buttons.

I have seen several people get confused when they use the playlist of ej. And most reacts negativly having to click those buttons, as opposed to scrolling with the wheel or a scrollbar.

Also I often find the playlistview too small.

A small button that could maximise the playlist to take up all of the "now playing panel" space could do the trick? Or maybe it could get maximized, and set back to normal view by dobbelclicking the "up next bar". Hmmm... or would this be too confusing?

That's true. Hopefully we will see a 1280 mode soon... hmm.. having the playlist in the songlist view. There is more room in there that's true. Sometimes I wish that ej supported horizontal and vertical resizing.... Maybe if I close my eyes and wish really hard .....

Hi! That's true. Hopefully we will see a 1280 mode soon. Having the playlist in the songlist view you say. Interesting alternative, and it actually is more room in there. Then the "now playing panel" could be filled with other goodies as well.. hmm.. but sometimes I wish that ej supported horizontal and vertical resizing.... Maybe if I close my eyes and wish really hard .....

Here's a post I created that discusses the idea of putting the current playlist into the Main Song List view:

Much more real estate on that side of the screen to view important stats about the songs in your current playlist. I think this would be a very cool feature.

Thanks,

Yes you are right. hmm.. I really like this idea about an option to put the playlist in the songlist view. I hope they do something about the current playlist. In it's current state I find it too small and cluttered.

You know with the current playlist, it's a problem if there's already 50 songs in your playlist and you want to add one right after the one that's playing right now, because you cannot drag a song from a page to the next.. So a scrollbar in the playlist view would be nice and as people have said before, a dynamic playlist in the songlist view would be PERFECT

Corrosion,
There is already a way to insert a song right after the one that's playing - but it's a bit hidden: You can do a LEFT click on the NUMBER of the song you want to move! Then you have a menu to move the song to top, up, down or bottom.

Furthermore i think that would be great if Audiosoft could add a way to move an Album or Artist, maybe adding a "Move Album" and "Move Artist" submenu to the current right click menu?

I would not be against a submenu option to do things. But it should be developed in addition to, not instead of, a drag and drop sollution of doing things. It's from my point of view a minus that ej doesn't support drag and drop of albums and artists directly to the playlist.

Also the drag and drop system in the current playlist doesn't work as well as it should, as pointed out earlier in the thread. A bigger playlist, or a scrollbar might make this work a little better.

It would also be nice if it was possible to choose several tunes by pushing ctrl or shift and move these around with ease. Like Pirk suggested earlier.

To sum things up it seems like the general consensus lies in the term: "make the ej playlist work a little more like the winamp one". At least one could "steal" a lot of good ideas and sollutions from it.

This is just my personal option and you are welcome to disagree with me of course

Yes, concerning the playlist, that's sure, Winamp is superior to eJukebox!!
The Winamp playlist is so handy: multiple selection, drag and drop, scroll bar, free size...
Like you say Fishy, it should be taken as a model...

The only benefit of the eJukebox playlist is it can display the image of the next song, well... before they remove this ability! But normally we should have a come back of this great feature! Eh Audiosoft? [Sorry, i know it's planned... but i am in a hurry!]
Another good point is, when you have a group of several songs of the same artist, the artist name is only displayed once. I like that too! And even i would love the ALBUM name be also displayed once!

So we have already 2 good points... But for the rest... things would require to be improved!

Hi, Thanks for the feedback!

Yeah! Of course there are positive things to say about the playlist. Sorry, If I have implied something else. However some of the functions mentioned in this thread would give ej a more dynamic and streamlined feeling.

I would not like to have a free floating playlist like the one in winamp however. So if one takes ideas from the winamp playlist, one should also keep the integration of components in the gui in mind..

Hi, thank you too!

Currently i feel there is a little relaxation of users in the Audiosoft forums... Not many post: maybe users feel eJukebox is already almost perfect!
Me, i still wait for the next version with the same impatience, still hopping many improvements!

Maybe people got other things to think about. Christmas enclosing and such. But we're still going strong. Nothing can stop my hunger after new features. And the beast must get fed

Oh yes... i hope Audiosoft prepare a big gift-wrapped parcel for us their regular customers!
