Next / Previous Song
« on: January 12, 2008, 04:09:28 pm »
Maybe the next and previous song buttons should popup the name of the next or previous song. That way if im not sure, i dont have to click it and wait for the song to load before i know which song it really is

I also like this idea, perhaps it could be built in as a part of the playlist functionality?

Thanks--we think this would be cool--we'll have to look at how it will look. It might overload the page with text but I think it's a really good idea.

As a rollover popup (as you said) this should work well. Good idea.

Much easier to add than playlists and it kinda sorta helps in that direction.

Would it be possible to have a seamless transfer? It could do this by reading the next song in the background as you play it, then when that song comes to the end you can just go even quicker.

Or also setting up a multiple song run to. So no waiting between songs, it would just transfer directly into the next song without and user interaction. So I could set up 3 songs I want to play and line them out, then just play. ^_^

Yes. I've done some work on that, but it's a little sketchy. What if the player's computer is barely keeping up as it is?

Tell them to get a new computer. :P

But I understand why it would be hard, with all the processing thats being done. Or it can be done before you start playing. Should take that long really, a couple minutes max.

That could work.  A button for "process every song on my playlist" or "process every song in this folder and all child folders". Then you go out for dinner, come back to play, and everything loads fast.

Well if your able to choose what songs you want then I don't see a big problem with that.

I really doubt you'll want to use this game with some smooth jazz or something. ^_^
