It's taken me a long, long time but I've finally "got" the iPeng modes. Once understood they work very well indded but pure nirvahna is negated by one seemingly insurmountable problem: It is far too easy to destroy/replace a carefully built up playlist by touching the album art by mistake when meaning to touch the title of an album. Touching the album art replaces the current playlist with the whole album whereas touching the album name takes you to the track listing.
If you are right handed and hold the iDevice in the right hand whilst using the finger of your left hand to make selections it is extremely easy to touch the album art by mistake. I tried out iPeng on a group of friends last night. All were right handed and at some point all suffered from this problem (on the bright side they, they all "got" the modes once I'd explained it to them). Especially as I have iPeng/SC set so that it will not play the whole album when I select to play a single track the one thing that has most thrown a wobbly into my understanding of the modes is the "Play Shuffled" title. I see that this "bug" is about to be addressed and hopefully for those that elect to play single tracks only the title will be changed to the plain "Play All". If this is the case there seems little need for a touch on the album art to play the whole album as you can go to the next screen and select "Play All". So, at least for users that choose to play single tracks only my vote is for a touch on the album art to do the same as touching the album title. This way I'll not keep destroying my playlist. Is there any chance of this becoming a reality? Should I add an enhancement to the bug? -------------------------------- Also from last night, the ability to drag and drop songs within a playlist just ceased to work at some point. Is this a known bug? I can't find any reference to it anywhere. MC -- ModelCitizen Think the third party Squeeze plugins and applets are important? Then 'vote for bug 14194' (http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14194) so more can be made.
