Hi Guys!

Well, to be honest is was not THAT easy in the old Canola, so when designing Canola2, me and Barbieri (the lead developer, but he left the company : /) discussed a lot about this, what you just said ; insert one or a couple of list in a current queue, no matter which one.

So that was exactly my wish to Barbieri in that time:

"Dude I want to be able to, when I am in Random mode - shuffle all songs - to dynamically insert musics in the sequence. Can we do that?"

of course he asked me all the possible drawbacks, and said if I want to do that without the UPNP / podcasts it was simpler. So we decided to add that feature to our Queue.

The only thing drawing us back was that: he left, and we were still fighting against the basic playlist (that should be first) so this insert in the dynamic playlist was thought, the infrastructure can support it without major changes (AFAIK - and I trust Barbieri's word) and If possible we will experimentally add this on beta 10. if not Beta 11 will have it for sure. I promise.

This is really a must and I havent used a pmp with this also.

The question now is going to be: how to do that without creating a floating menu to the hold song and add to playlist :? ": ) but this is my problem as UX designer right? lol I love giving myself real trouble!

again, that's the beauty of designing with the users. I will be honest I don't follow 100% of the wishes and requests, but I do rank them, so when something starts popping out too much, its a signal that it needs to be there and it will benefit more than just a niche.

sometimes we need to cut stuff, but having the idea confirmed by the real users or being able to listening and understanding their needs in real world is priceless for a good design.

Canola is far beyond of being a excellent PMP, but I believe we do have a nice relationship with our users, and we try to get the best of it in favor of the planned experience for the software!

BR from Brazil, and I am officially back from Vacations!

News: You're are going to see Mperes (miguel Peres) a lot more here. As we are working in several things, and I am heading Canola3, miguel is going to take over the Canola2 stuff progressively so feel free to talk a lot to him in private messages when needed
