Feature requests
« on: December 02, 2005, 11:42:38 am »

I'm using mc every day have about 80000 tracks ripped and using it in a live enviroment for my pub/club to play the background music...wonderful...but:

1.why wouldn't you give the program a "one button" feature to preview single files in another "zone" the "feature is jet inclueded in mc by supporting different zones but why not supporting to "previev" songs? I dunnot understand that.

2. in the rename requestor it would be wonderful to preview and example of the files selected and beeing renamed..to know wht will be going n if I press okay...also it would be nice to have there a "save" option to store my setting for example...samplers, singles, normal CD, heringbooks etc.

3. The replay gain is a nice thing, but isn't it possible to do something  that is compatible with other prg's and devices..like mp3gain ? (just a question)

4. I hate, while working with your software, that if I select on the left side another tree I cannot go back to the position I was before if I switch back to the old tree...in the search function it would also be wonderful to last my "search explanation" in there...how often did it happen that i was in playing now...typed a diffic. search in and then recognized that I forgot to switch to my lybrary.

5. It would be wonderful to have on the left hand side the possibillity to open more than one feature at once ...for example  a)edit the tags AND b) have the album pic shown

6. In the rename requestor (from tag or to tag) it would be a nice feature to have beneath the dialouge a list of "fields" or "special carcters" to drop via mouse into the fields [maybe also nice for the search fields]

7. I'm using mc with a lot of german songs and artist and i think in scandinavia etc. the feature would also be welcomed...the sort of "A, The" in front of the artists songs etc. could be expanded to a ...config file that is possible to be edited by the user cause here in Germany we have also "Der,Die,Das" or in spain or italy there are other words.

8. A fuzzy search for dups would be nice to see songs that have only the difference of 1 or 2 caracters in the album, artist or songname tag...this would also be nice to find double ripped music that was expanded by the brackets with a number (1) or (2)

I Agree with your #4

And When In "Start" the search box is displayed for no apparent reason, and if you do put anything in the box if you move to "Media Library" it is lost

I don't think J River Wanted To Modify the Orginal File Like mp3gain does

Exactly, if you want to mp3gain, you are free to do it outside MC.

But you will need to decide whether to track gain or album gain. And this will be a permanent move, i think the later versions of mp3gain allow you to revert back.

Or just use MC and not have the track modified at all except in a way that MC can use it.

Thanks for the info.

Maybe someone has some ideas on how to solve the problem I'm facing...

My MP3 collection is managed by MC and for what I ask MC to do for me it does very well.

However, I'm now in possession of two Secure Digital devices which play MP3s as well as a couple CD/DVD players which can play MP3s burned onto CD-R/RWs.

I want these four devices to play MP3s w/o having to mess with the volume constantly and as far as I know mp3gain is a good way to achieve this goal (best way?).

If MC could keep track of which of my MP3s have been fed to mp3gain that would be a plus.  If MC could feed mp3gain automatically that would be ideal.

Cheers!

Make that three SD card based MP3 players.   I recently picked up a Nuvi 350 GPS system.  Very slick device!

"Back" works in MC like it does in a web browser, maintaining your view state.

Backspace, the back mouse button, Alt+Left, a toolbar button, etc. are all ways of navigating back.

I agree with basically every single one of your points.  Great observations, and hopefully things that will be targeted in v12 (maybe post a link to this thread in the v12 suggestion thread).

However, this one...

4. I hate, while working with your software, that if I select on the left side another tree I cannot go back to the position I was before if I switch back to the old tree

You can do this now.  Simply use the keyboard shortcuts Alt-LeftArrow and Alt-RightArrow (for Back and Forward respectively).  I've also added these as Toolbar Buttons on my Bottom toolbar which works quite well when you only have a mouse available (as my HTPC sometimes does).

Darn.  Matt beat me.   ;)

It would be ideal however if MC remembered a handful your most recent searches ala-Google with cookies enabled.

I've wanted this for a long time. It's very useful when you first start off with MC and tags are not exactly right. MC is very tags centric so a way to find misspelled tags would be very useful.

The problem is how to tell MC when you want a MC fuzzy search or an exact search. The Locate->Artist,Album,Name etc are all exact. But many times thats exactly what you want not what sounds like ie a fuzzy search. In the end..i used King's plugin to fix similar sounding tags.

Maybe a new modifier called Fuzzy is needed, that could be used explicitly in smartlists or expressions for the purposes of dupe checking & tag correction.
