Hi Jim,
Hairstyle would be a god send for big screen, remote control, party fun. The problem is there are few fundamental issues that stop it working as a great Living Room Front End.
- Hairstyle needs to stay in hairstyle. I click stop and it leaves hairstyle, click enqueue and it leaves Hairstyle.
- While it seems like a good idea to be able to use just cursors and enter, it's simply not enough to be intuitive:-
Cursors should just be used for navigating either the List OR the options not to move between them.
TAB should be used to move between List and Options.
A key should be used to flip between full screen playing now and hairstyle when YOU'RE ready to.
That would give enough navigation controls to plonk the remote in front of someone and let them pick music.
- There seems to be a delay when using Hairstyle at the moment.
I'm really trying to give Hairstyle a thorough going over and at the moment these things either stop you from wanting to use it or confuse when using.
Regards
Vic
