Hope this doesn't change. Easy to remember, easy to explain to some
slightly inebriated guest...which is the whole point of "party" mode,
IMHO.
Thanks so much for implementing this in
I get "access denied" for bug 8878 so I'll post my thoughts here on
PartyMode.
I love the partymode idea and would like it's state (ie On or Off) to
be retained after the squeezebox is switched off. The current
implementation (v 7.31) turns off PartyMode when the squeezebox is
switched off.

Yes please. I would very much like that. There is always somebody that

Been playing with this today; and I really like it. Many thanks for the
work on this. It's going to get stress-tested at a house party
tonight.
A few comments, mainly about Party Mode:

well.
- love that Party mode prevents

So do I. I have not explored these Party Mode settings purely because I
find the naming of the current choices (well, current from three days
ago anyway) entirely non-illuminating.

Any thoughts on the option to be able to create User Definable Modes.
Would definitely give everybody what they would like to see in

Adding tracks to my Transporter's playlist was not working at all.
Selecting an album and hiting Play caused the album to be added as
next. Afrer a while I tracked the problem down to the Party Mode
setting. Having not touched this setting before (as far as I am aware)

Uh, there are as many oppionons of party/playlistmode as there are peers
on this forum.
And I have one too :)
Firstly: forget about the hotkeys, It's confusing. Let it be a setting
you chose in the menu, no something you toggle on/off ad hoc.

That's a strange one. Unless users have added replaygain to all songs, they
may find legitimate times when the volume needs to be changed.
Also, most people will be connecting SB3's to Hifi's/surround sound
amps/powered speakers and could change volume through their amp. Dis

Actually, play.hold at the moment
The Playlist mode of behavior (and the dynamic behavior, if that's
really desired) is a completely different animal from what's needed in
a Party mode. The only reason for the Playlist mode is to avoid wiping
out the playlist with PLAY. That's almost trivial compared with the
practical needs of

Reviewing posts about this, I've compiled this list of scenarios and
asks from various people (I can't see what's in the bug right now):
Prevent inadvertant mistakes:
* loss or replacement of current playlist from pressing Play.
* adding multiple items (such as a whole genre or year)
* interrupt
I can't access the bug: I get "You are not authorized to access bug

added comments to #8878 in the past. Anyone else having this problem?

I fully support the intent of Party mode, but I really think this needs
to be simplified. As currently configured, the implementation of party
mode risks being too complex and 'geeky' to be comprehended by a casual
user of the system.
Having buttons change their function unexpectedly and having

I would have thought that most people would expect it to add to the end of the
playlist. If a host hands out the remote for guests to choose music, I'd
expect it to play in the order the songs are added (queue), not as a stack.
AKA Jukebox mode.

- The 'play' button should not do a 'play next'. This is a mistake,
IMO, and pretty much defeats the purpose of having a "Party" mode.

May I suggest a terminology simplification? Having a mode that's
disabled just means that another mode is in effect. But in this case
it has no name (I'm talking about the default behavior).

It doesn't work properly when you are in playlist mode and you press
play from a custom browse menu using Erland's Custom Browse plugin. And
by that I mean the play button replaces the playlist when you use it in
a custom browse menu, but adds next when you use it from a regular SC
menu.
