Is it too early for this? I'm just trying to get a headstart...
Bugs
Column Autosize : The Name column isn't being resized properly. It's cutting off some text.
File Properties : The only way to use the "Fill Track Numbers From List Order" tool is to now send the files you want to edit to a playlist, rearrange that playlist, and then use the tool. This seems like a big step backwards, in my opinion. Maybe as a way to "fix" this, the floating Properties box could be like the old box from 8.0?
Tags : Something screwy is going on. In MJ8, had two albums (ape apl) that had both cover art and track numbers set. When I imported these albums (I started with a fresh database) into 9, both the track numbers (for all) and cover art (for most, but not all) tracks was missing. MJ has historically not gotten along well with cover art. I've had this problem of losing cover art quite often. I just viewed a folder of music through My Computer (under MJ's Tree View) and it shows track numbers for only 3 of a 14 track album (ape apl), and on another one (mp3) it shows track numbers. I know that these track numbers appeared in MJ8.
Slideshow : If, while watching a slideshow, I doubleclick a file in Playing Now to display it at just the right moment when MJ is going to transition to a new a file, it will skip the file I double clicked and display the one following it.
Requests
Vis Bars : I'd (still) like to see seperate hide modes for each of MJ's display modes (Internal, External, Fullscreen). I'd like to have them never hide in Internal, but autohide in Fullscreen & External, for instance.
View Schemes : How about nested View Schemes? For instance, I could create a View Scheme called "Media Type" which would show Audio, Image, and Video. And then under Audio I could then have Artist, Artist\Album, Genre\Artist\Album, etc.
Replay Gain : MJ really needs Album Gain. If Playing Now contains a full album, use Album Gain, otherwise, use Radio Gain. If it's a mix between a full album and mixed tracks, check to see if the tracks belonging to the album are all in track order. If so, use Album Gain on those tracks. If not, use Radio Gain on the entire Playing Now list.
Image List View : Can there be some "missing image" image? Like the MJ logo in place of a blank square? Or better yet, an image that we can specify for all missing artwork?
Image List View : For the single image album art view, there needs to be a way to see the tracks belonging to that album. Maybe a multipaned view that shows the cover image on the left and the track names on the right? Or even a tooltip balloon like the ones that Rhino was using in his AlbumView plugin (RIP).
Content View : Can all views remember their own view settings? Basically, what I'd like to see is Playing Now being able to just display Artist, Album, Name, and Track #, but have Media Library display more detailed information, like filename, BPM, etc. I'd also like to be able to specify that an Album view scheme display the album art view, but an Artist view shows the regular text view, etc. Playing Now should be able to be independently set to always show list view or image view, etc.
Slideshow : How about an option to display the filename of the current file in Fullscreen mode?
Ripping : I'd also like to see MJ be able to rip a CD to one wav\ape\mp3 and create a CUE sheet. Being able to create the relevant APL or whatever files in addition would be great along with an option to either import the full album wav\ape\mp3 or not.
