Title: Auto Smartlists in version 8?
Post by: dac4m on September 21, 2002, 09:28:55 am
I would really like you to add auto smartlists to version 8

The smartlists as they are configured are not useable for most consumers

I know they will be in version 9, but I want to use version 8 until 9 is stable.  Actually version 9 doesnt work on my system yet (windows xp, not sure why)

What I fear is that you will give up on 8.x and put all of your efforts to verison 9

It probably wouldnt take much programming to put them into verison 8 since you have already figured out how to use them

Please Please add them into the next 8.x release

They are great, but let's be honest, you ripped the idea off from microsoft.  


Well, yeah, we did.  But they ripped off the idea and the term for smartlists from us  AND they had the nerve to say "We're the first smart jukebox." or something like that.  Real did the same with "First Universal Player".

Of course, we're flattered.

I'm sorry Jim, I actually edited my post and removed that line. (I thought that I edited before anybody saw it)

I didnt want a negative tone in my post.  I eally do appreciate your efforts.

Plus, Microsoft has ripped everyone (consumer, programmer, etc) off so I applaud programmers who use Microsoft's ideas and improve upon them
