SONG LIST LENGTH and BREAK MODES
Yogui - 7-29-2008 at 03:35 AM

Hi Ejukebox,

As PCs are getting more powerful I think the 100 song list limit is a bit outdated (100 would be good as default length).

I also hate when the last album is cut in half at the 100 song :(

Would be possible to have ejukebox.ini settings that controls.

A) SongListLenght values from 100 to 2000 maximum number of songs loaded on the list

B) SongListBreakMode values Length|Album (may be others)
B1) Length is like currently, breaks at the exact song number.
B2) Album breaks on the last album before reaching the (A) Length value

hope is a good Idea and not too hard to implement.

Cheers, Yogui.
:D

I like the break mode idea but it is a bit to complicated to implement. eJukebox v5 beta 29 adds a new option called "Songlist Max per page" under the Display tab to increase or decrease the number of tracks show per page. Just be careful with it because setting too high will hurt performance and it will take longer to load. 100 is the default. 250 should be OK.

Thanks Audiosoft Beta 29 works fine

I've try the song list at 300 and is good, of course the delay is noticeable. Perhaps a:

"<ArtistName> Loading ... "

banner will easy the waiting, like you currently have when loading the album list (F7 shortcut).

I'm glad you liked the idea of break modes, I hope you'll find a way to implemented down the track.

Please don't forget to add it to your to do list.... :)

If you do so, an other idea would be (now a 3rd mode) have a X (1 to 20) albums at the time SongList view where your next and previous buttons change the albums showed.

I'm like a kid in a lolly shop... :D

Anyway hope is good brainstorming...

Cheers, Yogui.
