Thanks for the very clear explanation, Sean. And as this is the first I've replied to one of your posts, thanks so much for the Slimserver & SB3. Best tech purchase since I don't know when. After a year, my extensive collection is almost all organized and tagged up. It's been a huge project, but so rewarding, I'm rediscovering my collection, music listening is way up and TV viewing is way down. I feel smarter already.
WRT ff/rw, I have also been unsatisfied with the current implementation. I just installed SongScanner and SongLoop (I'm a musician, so the ability to loop a passage of music for study is very useful). Integration of these plugins might be the way to go, they do what I want, I don't usually need to hear what I'm ff or rw. The main problem with songscanner is the number of button presses required to get where you want, even though I've placed it in the top level of the player menus. I'd like: A clickable progress bar in the browser UI, that skips to the position in the track clicked on. In the remote control interface, if not separating the buttons for ff/rw from track skip, when ff/rw is held down, a progress bar appears on the SB# screen indicating the position, and then plays at that position when released. There could be a setting to choose whether the progress bar would appear, or as SongScanner does now, a time indicator, or an option for the way it works now for those who prefer or have grown used to this. Being able to play loops out of the box would be good too. Something like SongLoop now does, perhaps with a loop button in the browser UI that pops up a dialog to enter the start and end times with a cancel button. (Changes along these lines, and a default skin something like the tan Fishbone skin with the addition of drag and drop in playlists like in SlimFX, and I'll be a perfectly satisfied customer, instead of only 99.99% now) Thanks again for the fantastic and ever improving product (how many companies can say that?)
