Just an idea:
Right now we do have “Library Views, Playlists & Smartlists” and we have them with different functionality. And exactly this is sometimes causing a bit of inconvenience, why?
E.g.
- it is not possible to view a “Playlist” in “Album Thumbnails” mode. Only for the other two types of lists…
- If you easily want to sub-select a Smartlist you have to go via the wizard, because the option of having top columns for a quick selection is missing, as this is only for “Library Views”…
Do you know what I mean?
So, while thinking about it I thought, why not make all three types completely equal in terms of their visual appearance and functionality – this would give two benefits:
a) from the programming perspective only one type of “lists”
b) endless flexibility for the user to create the optical appearance for Play- and Smartlists.
So my idea would be: Keep the three different type of lists, as they are playing different roles in the system, but give them equal options in terms of their visual appearance and functionality.
Would you like this idea?
