1. I think a way to select whole artists and/or albums without having it affect the popularity would be great. I tend to use the popularity stuff
for individual songs. Barring that, more custom slots would be good too. The three don't really cut it when you wanna use it to play multiple
artists, when I'm in the mood for that it borders on 7 or 8 bands.
2. As always, I'm still hell bent on a "remove dead files" option
3. Not really a feature but it used to play /only/ unrated songs when you used popularity mode with star ratings blank and all stars faded, now
it's been playing everything no matter what it's rating.
Other than that, the only comment i really have is that if you do decide to go with a radical GUI change it would be nice if you could leave on option
for the old one if possible. That way if you don't like it as a matter of preferance you can just switch it back.

I'd really like more custom slots as well. But seeing too many of them at one time could be confusing for a beginner.
I'd like an "Add" button beneath each slot, which would give you a new string of variables. There could also be a "remove"
button to the left, if you wanted to step your way back, maybe even back to the default three.
Lastly, after you've made an a configuration you'd want to save, you should be able to save these presets, under their own names. That way,
you could easily create very good and advanced setups, and load and save them as much as you'd like.
I'm still hell bent on wanting the album list paged, like a book or CD Jukebox you would see in a bar, rather than one long list of albums you
have to scroll through.
Tanks!!!
The paging thing would be kinda interesting
Really? I'd hate having to flip through the album list in eJukebox as i would with a "real" jukebox. The idea makes me shudder with
annoyance. I can see it how it would remind me of using the jukebox at my local pub. But when i'm at my local pub, i'm in an alltogether
more forgiving mood... And i can see how eJukebox with a page-flip mode
would only drag me further down my spiral of drunkenness and anguish, as i would resort to drinking in front of my PC to be able to use it without
severe mental pain.
Seriously, it can see how it could be a fun idea, in a "tribute to real jukeboxes"-kind of way, but i can't see why this should be
translated to our computers, where we can just scroll our way through everything... :p
The answer is quite simple: Because on systems with only a touchscreen, scrolling becomes a big pain once you have >500 albums in the list.
Flipping back/forward would be a lot easier.
I remember Audisoft even mentioned that they would include such a feature at some point, so I am still hoping...
Ah, i see... didn't think about that. Having to keep your hand and finger raised and pointing for 5 minutes isn't reccomendable...
How about a '<' and a '>' in each corner, that basically just does a page up and page down?
I drink in front of my PC all the time. (Just kidding, I am at work.)
The reason I want the paging of albums is two fold.
1.) It is a major pain in the a__ (rectal region) to scroll through them. I am pushing about 2200. It would be much easier to page to the group of
albums that contain the one I want and choose it there. It also sounds as if the touch screen users are a fan of this.
2.) I am wondering if having to track that many objects inefficiently uses system resources. I think performance could be enhanced by reducing the
number of objects from 2200 to maybe 100?
