New User - First impressions & suggestions
« on: July 08, 2006, 06:24:16 am »

I have been using itunes for some time now, and only recently discovered media center (ver 11.1)
I would like to congratulate j.river developers for such impressive and complete application.
within the few minutes of first launch I was extremely happy to discover one after the other all the cleverly layed out features that in my opinion where lacking or wrongly implemented in so many others media players.
I can say I'm extremely satisfied with it.
Off course every software is perfectible and mc current mature development state certainly is the fruit of a long process.

So, here is my contribution to it with a few questions & suggestions ;)

.being a past itunes user, is there any plug-in/script to import itunes rating within mc ?
.I was using this konfabulator widget with itunes which in my opinion would make a perfect mini view skin, is such a mini view skin doable with current mc sdk ? (it's actually a simple album cover image within a cd case with basic player controls on it.)
.The ability to display/play all the titles of the album while browsing albums in thumbnail mode is extremely convenient and well layed out, what about a rating input (right at the same place & with the same rollover effect) for the single tracks of the playing now view in thumbnail mode ?
. I probably missed it,but is there a way to tell mc to keep displaying the image from the file properties (above the action window in the down left corner)even after a restart?
.keep up the excellent work !

regards,

Thibaud

Here's a usable workaround for importing the ratings:
