Addiational view for editing queue in Media player
asked 2014-01-31 02:13:42 +0200
I like the clean and minimalist approach of the native media-player, though there are several things the current version lacks in order to be decently usable with music archives. If I overlooked something, please correct me.
1. As it currently looks, the native
media-player application only
supports "Shuffle All" for a list of
files. Can you please add a repeat
option? Otherwise playing stops after all songs have been played. (edit: answered)
2. Would you also please consider extending the "Add
to play queue" and "Add to playlist" options
for whole albums as well as for artists? Right
now it's only available for single
songs, which can be a pain for compiling larger playlists (of e.g. newly discovered albums or artists). (edit: duplicate)
3.It seems the play queue is currently only visible in the lower part of the display, where the actual control buttons are located. Please create another view that's showing the queue in a way where it can easily be modified (delete one or more, add at position, reorder/move, select to play).
There's pull-up menu: while playing music, pull up control buttons area. There will be "Repeat all" and "Shuffle" options. And "+" button that probably allows to add currently playing songs to playlist (never used, so just "probably").
