Easy track selection for cover picture mode
« on: October 29, 2004, 01:35:10 am »
Hi,

I am wondering how people deal with this. My standard view is set to album thumbnails and most of the time I select music by browsing the covers.

a nice feature is that there is a delayed pop-up windows that shows the tracks. However, if I want to go to a particular track I have to right-click then navigate to locate -> Album and pick the track I want. Then I have to switch back to the Thumbnail view to continue browsing. Overall this feel pretty tedious.

Is there a faster way to do this or even better could you guys implement a feature that lets me select a track directly from the pop-up window.

Cheers

Yes, that's an excellent idea.

I think you would like library browser in MC11 if you haven't already tried it. There's a direct link under each artist/album thumbnail to the tracks.

I am looking at the library browser right now and while I am getting the cover view with 2 lines of info I am not clear how I would select an indivudual track from this view.

Am I doing something wrong?

I still like the thumbnail view with 7 covers / line for browsing my collection.

Sorry for being dense but how does that help me in selecting a specific track from the album. If I click on the files tab I switch the views to the file listing but the I have to switch back to get to the view where I started from.

This just does not flow right. Think of it. Move mouse over album art, delayed pop-up with track list (or maybe a single left click), one click to send it to the playlist. Move on to next album.

If you want to leverage the smart menues you could offer multiple actions mover the actions one level down and cache it much like te menues work throughout the system.

Cheers
