When VCR's were new and you needed a team of NASA rocket scientists to program them, I bought one for my aging parents. Every time I visited, there it was on top of their TV flashing 12:00, 12:00, 12:00. They just could not adjust to the new technology.

I'm a new user, still on the trial copy. I very much like what I've seen (and heard) so far. Setting up and playing to my Onkyo TX-NR709 via DLNA was painless. There is; however, a lot to learn.

I'm trying to set up a standard list view in all activities ... So looking at a stored album, ripping a CD, or selecting songs for a playlist is all done looking at a detail list with the columns I've selected to see. Seems like this should be simple but significant research in the Wiki and this forum have not helped.

I just feel ... 12:00, 12:00, 12:00.

Great to see you're giving MC a go. Even better that you've had a look at the Wiki. You're right that there is a learning curve.

Can you give us some detail of what you're trying to set up and what you're having problems with?

Have you successfully imported your audio/video files? Are you successfully playing them back through MC?

Those tasks are the typical first basic set up steps. If you've done that then you're at least functional.

So, astromo, Cal516 would like to set his own set of default list view columns that are shown in all the places he wants them

Cal516, where in Scotland? I'm in Edinburgh!

Set your columns as you would like them in your view, then right click on a column header and choose "Presets > Save", then go to your other views and apply the saved presets. These should then be remembered for next time you switch to that location.

This can get complex as I'm sure there is some kind of 'parent view inheritance' thing going on that I've never gotten my head around. The above will get you started, others will chime in for sure.

Marko ...

Great, thank you ... that's exactly what I was looking for.

Edinburgh is a lovely city which I visited once, many years ago. I'm in the state of Maryland, USA.  I thought perhaps I had made some mistake in setting up my profile but ... I don't see anything.  What gave the impression I was in Scotland?

Maybe I'm going slightly mad... I could have swore I read it in your initial post... though I had just got off the night shift ?

Edinburgh is great, though for me, it dines out on its history a little too much. Needs a big dollop of modernisation if you ask me, and no, not trams... why trams...??! Yes, there are cables hanging off all the buildings (I'll post a photo at some point) and no, they're still not oprational yet, though they are at testing stage. Everyone turned out to gawp at a tram as it ran through the city center on its trial run... deary me. I visited my sister in Manchester a few years ago, and commented on how modern their city center was, and how old-fashioned Edinburgh was by comparison. She looked around, paused... and said "yeah.... you need a bomb". Classic. and while maybe not exactly 'PC', you could see what she meant.

Anyhow, glad to have helped you up the learning curve a little, onwards and upwards eh?
