About the seeking bar of the player
I like the new ability to jump a different part of a song by clicking on the position bar. However, since there are two functions at the same place,
dragging and jump, I think the cursor is too small to be easily caught whitout activate a unwanted jump. So if it could be enlarged...
Also, that would be great if you could make than while dragging the cursor the music doesn't stop, like in Winamp!
Thanks,
Pirk

Rather than enlarging the draggable seek cursor, we plan to make it so if you click anywhere on the seek bar and keep the left mouse button down it
will then catch the cursor...so that you can drag it to the position you want until the left mouse button is released. Basically this would allow you
to click anywhere on the seekbar to grab the seek cursor.

All right, good idea!
...and what about to don't stop the music while dragging the cursor?

Dear Audiosoft:
when implementing and testing this feature, please keep the touchscreen users in mind. I am not sure if what you describe will work for us or not. If
it does, then I guess it will be great news.
Thanks!

Thank you for the improvement of the Seeking bar of the player, that work very well.
Only one little thing: I feel the change of the mouse cursor depending on its position compared to the seeking bar is a bit bewildering.
I don't know if it's really necessary to change the appearance of the mouse cursor? That give a strange impression of instability because
there are 2 things on the mouve at the same time, so the cursor always change giving that impression of imprecision.

Anyone else think we should just have it always use the arrow cursor. The only reason we thought to make it change the cursor to something different
is so that people know when their mouse is over the position bar.
Demnos,
The enhancement of this feature should work the same as before for touchscreen users. Tapping (or clicking) on the position bar will imediatley change
the position to that point. It is only when using a mouse and you elect to hold the mouse button down - will it allow you to drag the position handle
until you let go of the mouse button.
