+1 on the last.fm rating, I had the same idea yesterday!

[Dawgincontrol]

Speaking of Last FM.  I wish MC26 wouldn't send the playing "scrobble" info until the end of the file played to match what it does in MC26. 

Sometimes when doing housekeeping on a file, I'll get an incorrect play to Last FM by just playing the first 10 - 30 seconds.

Display the Internal Volume of JRiver on screen and over the top of any other application if need be.
I think this would go a long way to making the WDM Driver and WASAPI Loopback even more useful.

Random list of things I've recently wished for in no particular order:

• Tile view:
• Option to control the thumbnail/overall size of individual tiles in tiles
• Ability to display multiple columns of tiles
• Option to edit the text shown in tiles
• Toolbar button to switch directly to tiles view
• Undo/Redo menu items indicate what action they're going to undo/redo
• Autostack based on user-specified fields
• Set stack top based on user-specified criteria (both during autostack and as a standalone Stacks option)
• An option to configure DSP Studio on a per device basis
• Let us choose any Integer field in our library as the "track #' field, and any field we choose for the "reset" field when using the Fill Track Numbers From List Order tool (I'd also accept an expression that already does this if somebody knows how)

An option to configure DSP Studio on a per device basis

what's a device in this context?

[Doof]

what's a device in this context?

Good question. MC's audio chain is a little complex and things get a bit messy along the way. In my use case it would be whatever Windows considers the current Default Device.

In my specific context is that I have a pair of Logitech speakers, and a Logitech headset. For some reason I'm sure the true audiophiles could explain, if I'm watching a movie with multi-channel hd audio track using my headset, everything sounds great, but when I switch Windows to use my speakers, I lose the center channel completely and there's no dialog. If I then go into DSP Studio and enable Output Format, and set Channels to 2.1, then things sound normal again through my speakers. Unfortunately, I don't like the result of that through my headset, so I have to turn it off again when I switch back.

Thinking beyond that, I'm sure there are numerous times when it would be nice to have MC automatically enable different DSP settings depending on the output device.
While I'm thinking of it, it'd also be great if it could autoswitch based on user criteria, using the same search syntax in use elsewhere. Like use preset X if I'm watching a Movie, but use Y if I'm listening to Music.

[mattkhan]

This is a basically zoneswitch though I don't know whether the information you want is exposed via some sane API or not, certainly it wouldn't be os agnostic.

I would guess the requirement would be easier to meet with some sort of quick preset DSP configs though that would be tedious to manage without another previously requested feature (some way to store a delta to add to/ remove from a DSP config target than store n complete copies) which helps makes the DSP load/save/preset option v hard to use in practice

[RoderickGI]

• Undo/Redo menu items indicate what action they're going to undo/redo

This. I have fallen into the "Oh, what did I just undo?" trap, then spent some times fixing what I just broke.

Why would you change Windows to use your speakers? Just set up one Zone in MC for your Speakers, and one Zone for your Headphones, and the set up the required DSP for each. Ctrl-T quickly switches Zones.
You can even set up multiple Zones for one Windows Audio Device, and apply different DSP settings to each, if you need to.
Use ZoneSwitch to automatically switch Zone for Movies and Music.

MC doesn't care what the Default Audio Device is in Windows. It plays to the device specified in the selected Zone, and applies the DSP specified for that Zone.
Never set MC to play to the Windows Default Audio Device. It limits your control and options enormously.
Set the Windows Default Audio Device to the WDM Driver and you can play other audio sources through MC.

Unless I am missing something in your requirements?

Interesting, I haven't really experimented with zones much. It sounds like it might satisfy that need, though. I'll check it out, thanks!

I think zoneswitch as a quick DSP selector (for the same content) is a generally annoying user experience as it gives you the 2 dsp settings to manage as well as the need to manage what is played in each zone. Using DSP presets has the same multiple dsp config problem, loses the fast access via a keyboard shortcut but removes the need to manage what is played in a zone.

Two things.

1) It would be nice if this thread was pinned to the top to find easier.   

2) Maybe it's already there, but either using the Move/Copy or the Find/Replace, the ability to send previous information in selected fields (ie People/Popularity/date, etc.) to other files of the same name and artist.  When I get a new album/cd it would save me a lot of entry time from going through all my duplicated tracks.

You can copy tags from one file and paste them in another by using ctrl-shift-v.  It will ask which tags.

The  ability to "prune" the folder list that the "Import a single folder" option uses/accumulates would be appreciated.

[Doof]

I'm not sure if this is doable, but I would love some way to give the Fill Properties From Filename a series of patterns to try, matching against the one that fits "the best".

For example, my audio collection is organized in the following way:

Single disc album: [Album Artist (auto)]\[Album]\[Track #]. [Artist] - [Name]
Multi-disc album: [Album Artist (auto)]\[Album]\Disc [Disc #]\[Track #]. [Artist] - [Name]
Multi-disc album where each disc has a unique "sub album" name: [Album Artist (auto)]\[Album]\Disc [Disc #] - [Sub Album]\[Track #]. [Artist] - [Name]

etc. It gets more complicated with Concerts and Audiobooks, but you get the idea.

So it would be hugely helpful to be able to something expression-like, like:

Code: [Select]

FirstMatch(
  [Artist]\[Album]\Disc [Disc #] - [Sub Album],
  [Artist]\[Album]\Disc [Disc #],
  [Artist]\[Album]
)

and have MC do something regex-y to figure out which of these matches best. Then you could do the same for filenames. My workflow now is to filter the view three separate times and run the Fill Properties tool on each. I'd love to be able to do this all in one go.

A simple export/import function for Theater View/Media Network/DLNA views is being requested by a lot of people.

It would really be a big help!

This.

Would it be possible to parse text files generated by Room EQ Wizard and import them into the parametric equalizer?

[The Big Labinski]

Closing open tabs. Would be great to close open taps just by hoover with the mouse over the tab and get then the "close X".
So no click on the tab is necessary to close it.

A right click on a tab should give you the opportunity "close all other tabs".

[rec head]

I know locking tabs instead of views has been mentioned before but I want to reiterate that I think it would be a nice feature.

[ConradT]

I have a bunch of albums in PCM and DSD.  I have to manually change the output encoding to DSD/DOP to play my DSD albums correctly (thanks for the DSD to PCM conversion improvement, but it is still not the same as true DSD).  Can JRiver select an output encoding automatically based on the album? Maybe by remembering the selection that was used the last time the album was played?

[JimH]

Take a look at Zones and Zoneswitch on the wiki.

[ConradT]

Wow!  Did not know the zone feature was so configurable. Will try this out for sure.

Thanks.

[budloveall]

Hoping this is an easy one.

Can a "Add to Playing Now" option be added to Car Radio Buttons? I see it being just another right click option.

Thanks, Bud

1. Some sort of indicator as to whether I'm in Alternate Play Mode or not.

2. Even better, a choice of more than 2 modes.
Eg. I now use a crossfade for general playlist use and Alt Mode is gapped to play an album in the normal way. But neither of these are appropriate for a live album. For that I'd need gapless I guess, but if I change this in the settings I have to change it back again. If there were a way to quickly change between play moes and know which one you're on it would be useful. I can imagine there are many uses for having a variety of custom crossfades or other modes to hand.

Use Zones and ZoneSwitch.

All the settings you need are Zone specific. The Zone you are playing to can be the indicator of what transition type you have selected. ZoneSwitch can automate the selection of Zones based on appropriate field values.
