A few suggestions
« on: July 17, 2002, 01:26:31 pm »

Already seen...

More features to burner application (disc splitting for example - if selected files are too big to fit onto one CD MJ can automatically split it to two or more discs), make it standalone?

Volume leveling - very neat - no sudden changes in volume when playing. To be able to preserve it when it's recorded to cd.

Play same song over and over. I cannot find this feature in any player I am using. I'd like to be able to have repeat song (currently playing) and not just whole playlist. Can this be added in one of newer builds? If it doesn't require a lot of coding that is.

To be able to automatically add new tracks to my music library - MJ should watch for changes in specified folder(s) and automatically add and sort new files.

To automatically add album art to an mp3 file.

Somehow, if possible, fix mp3 crossfading thing. Somehow remove gaps instead of smooth crossfade.

MJ doesn't do this.

Take a look at the option for playback to "diskwriter".  It creates a wav file.  That can then be burned.

> Play same song over and over.

Select a single track, press enter.  If you have only one track in your playlist and you have the continuous button pressed, that is what you'll get.

MJ doesn't do this.  Maybe someday.

> To automatically add album art to an mp3 file.

Take a look at file properties and then the image tab.

That's pain. It'd be nice if it had that option beside repeat playlist - repeat track and when you turn it off it goes on to next song. Or to be able to define how many times it will play it before it goes to next song.

Hmm...i know some of these can be done but it would be great if you could add some of those features.

MP3 encoder should be included by default in MJ. For example, if you got MJ on a CD (shareware) and you install it and boom you realize MJ can only rip your favourite Britney CD *;)* in Windows Media format and not mp3, which you can already do with all time worse WMP, then you think, ok let me download plug in...but you realize you don't have net connection.

Feature to automatically update/install newer versions of encoders or other plug ins.

Ability to convert to more formats. Also to add Right click convert/burn option.

Mike,
It's hard to understand what you're saying.  It would help if you would use full sentences.  It's hard to sort out the problem from your suggested solution.

Ok, sorry. :)

It'd be good idea to include MP3 Encoder in setup file so you don't have to download it from the interent since there are some users who don't have connection to interent.

Update feature - just what I wrote before. It would be nice if you could automatically check for newer version of Lame without going through website to see if it updated.

Convert/Burn - Let's say I've got some file(s) in My Music menu, which is in mp3 and I want it in let's say ogg. I can select it in Windows Explorer (or similar) right click on the file and just select Convert option from Media Jukebox right click menu. Now, you can use default screen before conversion in which you can specify output folder, encoder option (format you want to convert file to), quality etc. OR you can add checkbox in that window "Use default settings" - by Default settings i am reffering to settings already specified in encoding tab of MJ preferences - which would make MJ convert file(s) without asking any additional questions. What am I aming at is one click conversion of files between formats without having to open MJ.

As for burning, it's simple I want to be able to send files I want to burn from Windows Explorer without having import it to MJ first.

I hope this cleared up some things.
