Happy New Year to all , and thank you very much Martin for an excellent piece of software. The latest version is indeed very stable, except when I accidentally manage to pull up the on-screen keyboard. Since the best part of this project is that we get to give you suggestions :-) , here is my new year's list. I want to stress, as always, these are simply suggestions for you to consider. Maybe some of these can see the light of day.

1. Move media folder configuration to the tools/configuration view. I think that is the first place people look for in a media player.

2. Do not automatically add tracks to the track view. This way I can continue listening to one album, and while I am doing that I can browse all the rest of my collection. Only add tracks (or the whole album) when the right arrow is clicked.

3. Add artist name to the song name on top panel in track view.

4. Remove song name in large font in track view. This seems redundant since the song name is already shown in the top.

5. Enlarge cover image size in track view to occupy space freed up by step 4. above.

6. Do NOT automatically play/download next video in video and YouTube modes. While I tend to listen to an album in its entirety most of the time, when it comes to videos, and especially when it comes to YouTube, I think people pick and choose one at a time.

7. The track mode has a lot of free space on either sides of the album cover. The previous and next buttons can move up there, just like in the car mode.

8. Add software volume control to the left of seek bar utilizing the freed up space from step 7. above.

9. Automatically switch to car mode after 5 secs of inactivity.

10. Clicking on CD icon in car mode takes back to track view. [ clearly you can see I am not a fan of hardware button controls :-) ]

11. Instead of pause on a single click, pause on double click (is this even possible? ) so that tapping on a dark screen does not accidentally pause the playing track.


Once again, thank you for your excellent work
