Title: Feature Req: Playback options per view scheme
Post by: scott_r on January 16, 2004, 05:47:43 am
So here's the deal:

Sometimes I like to listen to whole albums at a time, and sometimes I just like to listen to whatever pops up.
When I'm listening to albums, I like to keep my playback settings to "Gapless" to make sure that the album plays back the way it should. However, if I'm just listening to random junk, I like it on "Crossfade" 'cause it sounds cool that way.

How great would it be if I could define playback options like this per view scheme?

Something to think about,

Scott.

Yep, i absolutely support this.

Not sure i follow how to setup on view scheme basis tho ?

My idea was to have a user-configurable button someplace that would allow to toggle between the 2 playback settings instead of going into the Tools menu each time.

I cant see how else to automate this, i suggested to Nila to use a guessing way to set this up in his eq plugin. ie..if the next consecutive track is from the same album, chances are i want gapless & replay gain off, otherwise keep them.

Nila said there was not enough support in the SDK to access those settings yet :(

Yeah I like the sound of this also. Another thing that could accompany this would be shuffle. I like to listen to albums in order, but other playlists randomly. This may get a little complicated then, i'd have to play with it to see if it was just confusing or not.
